Spicy food? Traffic jam? Shopping malls? Quite possibly yes β if you were reading some other sort of Thailand related blog. Different to the massage industry where business is thriving, maybe the prices have gone up a little but the ever increasing number of tourists and most expats are happy to pay Baht for an hour of very healthy entertainment.
The massage salons are usually also the places that most western men make their first experiences with paid sex. You can find the exact locations of all mentioned places on the map at the end of the article. The little alley connecting Sukhumvit Soi 11 and Soi 13 is one of these typical clusters.
What does matter though is that you can find literally dozens of naughty massage salons all along Soi 22, among them some truly extraordinary places offering services like prostate and tantra massage see below. But then you enter that small 50 meter alley and find one massage salon after another. Most of them are actually massage parlors offering the full program from 2, Baht upwards for 1 hour. They all kind of target Japanese customers and many of the places are Japanese owned, too.
Still open to everyone so just check it out for yourself. Yes, you read it right. Since the massage industry in Thailand is booming, there are now opening salons who specialize on these kind of special services.
I have marked these special massages with the pink pin on the map below and all others with the yellow pin. If you are a young backpacker and reading this then you are probably wondering why I have completely ignored Khaosan here. Let me know in the comments if you made other experiences.
