Bangkok Massage Parlours



** Try on of our members web site, devoted to this subject :-)!!

The massage parlours in Bangkok (and elsewhere in Thailand) are quite legendary. As with pretty much the rest of the Bangkok night-life scene you'll get very "thorough" service at these establishments. It IS beneficial to note the two distinct kinds of massage parlours though.

Traditional Thai Massage

These places are all over Thailand in almost every city. The massage is NOT sexual at any time but "medicinal." You go to a small room which often times houses several customers (but there are curtains on all sides of YOUR "area" that can be drawn for privacy) and are instructed to change into pajama bottoms. You can order beer or other drinks for both you and your massuse. You then lye down on a small "twin" mattress on the floor and the girl begins the massage. This massage is very ancient in origin and can sometimes be actually quite painful as the girl contorts and deeply massages every muscle in your body using her hands and legs. It can actually be VERY relaxing if you are stressed out. After it is all over if you CAN get up, you'll feel like a wet noodle. These places actually CAN turn out to be OK for the single male and several times my massuse has asked "where you stay in Bangkok?" or has made other ovatures regarding meeting somewhere later. In general though, these places are "above board" at least in comparison to the full-service massage parlours most of us would rather be at. The price for a traditional massage varies greatly depending on where you are in the country. The price range is between 200-300 baht and the massage will last a couple of hours (as with everything in Thailand, Farangs pay a little bit more.) If you do go to a traditional place, tip the girl 100 baht after-wards and you'll get a nice wai.

Full-Service Massage

Now this is where we want to be! These places are called "Ob oap noout" in Thai (by the way, "Noout" is the Thai word for Massage.) These places are without fail, full service in every stretch of the imagination. You'll start off in a room with a one-way mirror. You are looking at perhaps 50-100 girls (sometimes more) behind the glass. All wearing little buttons with numbers on them. You find a girl you like and notify the manager you want number whatever. The manager will call the girls number and she will appear to lead you to a private room. If you are interested in something special (Anal sex, a Blow Job specialist, whatever) NOW is the time to ask for it. The manager will tell you which girls will do what and which ones won't do what. He'll also point you to the girl(s) that are best at a given art. DON'T be shy! This is Bangkok and almost anything goes. It's much better to ask for what you want -- you will get it! The alternative is to find out too late that the girl you picked, while a stunning beauty, won't suck your cock! Just ask! It's really that simple!

This type of massage parlour is perhaps most famous for the "B-Course" or "Tora-Tora" style of massage. This is where the girl mixes up a frothy bucket of soap suds, has you lye down on a air matress and proceeds to lather you up with the suds mixture. She then uses every part of her naked body to massage your soapy body. She uses her breasts, and her pubic bone on your cock and you WILL be at attention SIR! She may give you a hand job at the end of the saop-scene, if you'd like (you can come as many times as you can during the session). After this, she'll rinse you off and move you over on to the bed for a blow-job and then a fuck. If you can -- come a couple times more... After it's all over (a couple of hours, in a good place) you should give her a tip for her service. I'd suggest 500 baht (if she was good and otherwise it was supposed to be an all-inclusive place). Hell, you just gotta be your own judge on tipping, some people are just cheap as shit and others like to tip... Up to you on this, although not giving any tip may get you into trouble. It might be BEST to make sure what's included in the up front price when you pay!

Current Prices

And now for the bad part. Well... it's getting a little expensive for this kind of service. Recently I have heard people coming back from trips to Mona Lisa and James Bond with stories about prices in the $200-$300 US Dollar range for a 2 hour massage (all inclusive). Now that's kind of expensive for Bangkok. I have not confirmed this and we'd all like some confirmation from members going to one of these places. At any rate, it will definantly cost at least 2,000 - 3,000 baht (this is $80 - $120 US dollars). Even so, beleive me this is something that should NOT be missed! Even if low on funds, you MUST try this at least once. If you are really low on $$$ head for Pattaya, where you can get the same service for a lot less money!

One thing to be noted... If you go to a place like James Bond or Mona Lisa, you will HAVE to take a cab. This is bad for your wallet, since the cabbie will go in to the parlour with you and get a cut from the manager (for bringing you to HIS parlour). The only way to avoid this is to get there on foot or to get dropped off somewhere close enough to walk from. this usually works best the second trip (i.e. on the first trip, scope out other near-by possible destinations.) Then, next time you want to go, tell the cabbie to take you to the alternate place. Then, just walk from there. Or alternatively, go to a place like Atami, which can easilly be walked to.

In Response To: BANGKOK MASSAGE PARLOURS (bangkokbob)

Here's Slimey Toad's guide from Delphi Sanuk, updated February, 2001. I've placed a link to site, but don't think it will work unless you're registered with Delphi.

For some reason, my post (#1) in thread from last month on this topic was deleted. Anyway here it is again ...
but updated including

1. Helen massage at Khlong Toei (Rama IV)
2. Evita massage (New Petchaburi)
3. Info on Victoria's Secret (Rama IX) and Osaka (Pattanakan Road)
4. Updated pricing/info on ~50% of the listed places
5. Angara/Vilunda has changed its name to Oscar massage
6. Monika's massage on second floor of Mona Lisa may not welcome farangs and other non-East Asians.

Also there is a new hi-end Entertainment/Massage complex being built behind Poseidon (on the soi off Ratchda).
I think it will be called 'Co Cobana' and will be part of the Davis Group (Emmanuelle, Honolulu, Hi-Class and
Victoria's Secret).

**** ASOKE-DIN DAENG AND RAMA IX ROADS ****

To get to this area head north on Asoke road from the New Petchaburi road intersection, near Mona Lisa
massage, or that is in the opposite direction to Sukhumvit Road (and Soi Cowboy). When you reach the major
intersection where the Fortune Hotel is situated; if you turn left this is Asoke-Din Deang Road where the
Cleopatra Massage & Turkish Bath is located. While if you turn right this is the beginning of Rama IX road where
a number of massage parlors are located including the Honolulu Love Boat Club, Julianaís, Catherine and
Victoriaís Secret. If you keep going straight instead you would end up at the many places on Ratchadphisek
road, near the Emerald Hotel at the Huawy Kwang junction. Note that there has been reports on the internet
that some of these places double-charge farangs and other non-locals.

New Cleopatra is on Asoke-Din Deang road, about 300 yards from the intersection with Asoke Road where the
Fortune Hotel is, the large gaudy neon sign cannot be missed.
phone #: 246-6680
Comments: An upscale massage parlor, with some of the most expensive girls (supposed models) working in
any of the Bangkok parlors. The fisbowl at Cleopatraís is on the left when you walk in, it is quite large with some
quite attractive girls. The cost of the fishbowl girls is 1,900 baht. If you turn right at the entrance instead, you
will see a sign saying ëmembers loungeí, you donít need to be a member to enter this area. In the members
lounge, you will find the sideline girls and ëmodelsí the cost varies from 2,700 baht (sideline), 3,500, 4,500 and
5,500 for the VIP models. The girls sit in a lounge area and can be summoned over for a drink, talk etc. The
attendants here are very personable in helping you make a choice. At the bar they also have photo albums with
pictures of ëmodelsí that are also available, the attendant highlighted a picture of one supposed Thai Penthouse
magazine model that was available for 5,500 baht. Also I was asked if I was interested in Russian girls, I think
the cost was ~5,000 baht.

Honolulu Love Boat Club is at 555 Soi Soon Vijai, Rama IX road. Honolulu is close to the Rama IX hospital (follow
the signs) and is right next door to the Radison Hotel. So if coming here by taxi, tell the driver to go to the
Radison Hotel at Rama IX.
phone #: 641-5757
Comments: Another upscale massage parlor, the building is quite distinctive as part of the front is shaped like a
boat. Honolulu has a large fishbowl with about 40-50 girls, the girls in the bowl cost 1,800 baht. Also you will
find here a fairly lavish restaurant, a kararoke club and a lounge bar with sideline girls costing between 2,500 to
3,500 baht. Note that the original Royal City Avenue (RCA) is just around the corner, for those who may be
interested in checking out the bars and restaurants in this much hyped local entertainment area.

Julianaís is located on Rama IX road, next to the Royal Pacific hotel. It is approximately 1 mile from the beginning
of Rama IX starting from the Ratchadaphisek intersection where the Fortune hotel is located.
Phone #: 319-4645

section has a mid-size bowl with about 50 girls. Cost is 1,800 baht. Sideline girls seated in the lounge area are
2,400 baht.

Victoriaís Secret is at 555 Soi Soon Vijai 4, Rama IX road, on the interconnect road to Hwuay Kwang. The soi to
Victoriaís Secret is the first soi on the left off Rama IX road after Julianaís, there is a small neon sign on this
corner pointing down the soi for ëmassage clubí. It is about a 12 minute walk to Victoriaís Secret from Rama IX
road, for non-walkers a taxi would be recommended to get to this massage parlour.
Phone #: 318-8370
Comments: Part of the Davis Group of Massage Parlours along with Honolulu, Emmanuelle and Hi-Class. A
semi-lavish place that is set back from Rama IX road amongst surburban houses and apartments, it features a
restaurant, kararoke, snooker area, a lounge lobby as well as a mid-size fishbowl with about 20-30 girls, divided
into 3 groups, 1,600 baht for standard massage girls, and 1,800 baht for superstars and body massage girls.
Sideline girls in the lounge area across from the fishbowl are available for 2,200 baht. I was informed by the
papasan that standard service for the massage girls was 2 hours, while the service for the body massage girls
was only 1.5 hours.

Comments: Does not have a sign in English, but there is a welcome sign in English on the door. Smallish place
with about 20 girls. Cost 800 baht.

**** NEW PETCHABURI ROAD - near Sukhumvit Soi 3 ****

The first 5 places are near the Sukhumvit Soi 3 junction (Mit Saphan) with New Petchaburi Road, but on the
other side of the road starting from the Prince Hotel near the Makassan Road intersection.

Plaza is an entertainment complex that is located (back entrance) at the soi that leads to the Prince Hotel on
New Petchaburi Road, across from the Soi 3 (Soi Nana). The main entrance is at the L-bend on Makassan Road.
Within the Plaza there are 3 places (Cupidy, Sherbert and Delia) that offer girls sitting in fishbowls and/or
sideline girls sitting in a lounge.
Phone #: 253-1502
Comments: Cupidís (Cupidy) is located on the ground floor of the Plaza, you will directly pass the entrance to
Cupidy if you enter via the Petchaburi back entrance to Plaza. There is usually a portable neon sign on
Petchaburi road advertising this place. A largish bowl with 50 or more girls, the price being 1,900 baht (Dec
1999). The price in March 2000, was 1,500 and 1,700 baht for massage girls, and 500 baht for girls in the
traditional massage section. Similar to its neighbours Vilunda and Atami you probably should avoid coming here
with a taxi or tuk-tuk driver. The staff here are quite aggressive to the point of being somewhat obnoxious.
Sherbert is on the 2nd floor of Plaza and is advertised as a kararoke place, if you enter Plaza via the main
entrance you will enter into this place. At Sherbert you will find a mid-size fishbowl with about 30-40 girls, cost
1,900 baht. There is also a lounge area with sideline girls, cost 2,700 baht, although the cost for non-locals may
be 4,200 baht. Unlike at Cupidyís the staff here are quite civil.
Deliaís is on the 6th floor of Plaza and is a memberís type club, although you donít need to be member to enter.
At Deliaís you will find some very attractive sideline girls (supposed ëmodelsí, students, office workers) sitting in
the lounge area, costing 3,500 for locals/asians and 4,500 baht for non-locals. The staff at Deliaís are very
personable.

Embassy is on Soi 39, and is part of the better known Embassy Kararoke establishment.
Phone #: 252-0393
Comments: The Turkish Bath and Massage part of Embassy appears new as of 2000. The entrance to the
massage parlor is at the end of the soi. The bowl is small with about 15 girls. Cost was 1,200 baht, although
after I showed no interest the attendant lowered the price to 1,000 baht. The price in February 2001 was 1,200
baht for girls in the fishbowl and 1,500 baht for the sideline girls in the cafe lounge area.

Vilunda (also known as Angara) is on the soi 41 just before Atami. It appears this place may have changed itís
name to Oscar massage.
Phone #: 251-6222
Comments: The girls here are in 3 sections traditional (500 baht), body and massage (1,500 baht) and superstar
(2,000 baht). Similar to Atami, it is also a favoured place by taxi drivers and street touts. In Dec, 1999 the price
was 1,500 baht for all girls of the soapy variety. When I was there in August, 2000 the price was 1,500 and
2,000 baht for the massage girls but after showing no interest and was heading towards the door the
attendant lowered the price to 1,000 baht for any of the fishbowl girls regardless of star class. In February,
2001 I was quoted 1,500, 2,000 and 2,500 baht but after showing no interest the papasan asked me to name
my own price.

Halem is located on Soi 41, opposite side of the soi to Vilunda (Angara) massage. It is owned by the same group
who run the nearby upscale Plaza Entertainment complex.
Phone: 625-7926
Comments: The fishbowl is fairly small (20 girls), the cost being 1,500 baht. Sideline girls sitting in the cafe were
available for 2,500 baht.

Atami is at 1573 New Petchaburi Road (after Soi 41), and quite close to the corner with Nana Soi 3 but on the
other side of the road.
Phone #: 252-8907-8
Comments: Atami is a favourite with taxi drivers and touts on the streets and hence the price is variable
depending on whether you go by yourself or are taken by a tout and probably your bargaining skills. The girls
(~80) are in 4 sections, traditional massage (500 baht), massage only and tora body massage (both 2,000 baht)
and superstar massage (2,500) one Monday night in early April 99. A week earlier, the price was 1,500 and
1,700 baht respectively ! In Dec, 1999 the price was 2,000 baht for all girls of the non-traditional massage
variety. The last time I was there February, 2001 the massage girls in the fishbowl were 1,500 baht, while
sideline girls seated in a lounge area across from the fishbowl were 2,500 baht.

**** NEW PETCHABURI ROAD - Asoke to Soi Soon Vijai ****

The next 9 massage places on New Petchaburi Road starting from the Asoke junction to Soi Soon Vijai ( Bangkok
General Hospital ) are located fairly closely together and constitues the (in)famous ësoapyí section of New
Petchaburi Road.

Mona Lisa is next to the Siam Hotel on New Petchaburi Road, near the corner with Asoke Road and across the
road from the Japanese Embassy.
Phone #: 252-3955
Comments: Quite a well known place. There is no sign in English but there is a picture of da Vinciís masterpiece
on the neon sign. You should not go here with a taxi driver or else you will be paying extra. A mid-size bowl with
50-60 girls, divided into body massage girls costing 1,700 baht and non-body massage girls for 1,800 baht.
Sideline girls are also available in the lounge area for 2,000 baht. The last time I was here (Feb, 2001) the price
was 1,300 or 1,500 baht for fishbowl girls and 1,800 baht for sideliners. About 6 Russian girls were seated in the
cafe and were available at 2,500 baht.
On the 2nd floor there is another boutique massage parlor called Monikaís, the entrance is on left of the main
entrance. Girls in the bowl cost 1,300 baht and 1,600 baht, sideline girls were 1,900 baht.
I was told by the papasan that farangs and other non East-Asians may not be welcome at Monikas, however it
was up to the discretion of the papasan based on criteria that included physical body size and Thai language
skills. This discriminatory policy is not practiced downstairs at Mona Lisa.

Phone #: ?

all-inclusive price of 800 baht. S.Botan is arguably the ëbestí low price (below 1,000 baht) soapy massage parlour
in Bangkok.

**** PIN KLAO (at Arun Amarin Road) IN THONBURI ****

How to get to Pin Klao ? The easiest way to get to the Pin Klao area in Thonburi, on the other side (western) of
the Chao Phraya river to Bangkok is to get a taxi to the Pata Department store at Pin Klao, it is the major
landmark in this area. Pin Klao is one of the major shopping and entertainment areas in Thonburi. If you are
going to Pin Klao via crossing the Pin Klao bridge then Arun Amarin road is the first intersection, you cannot miss
it as there is a major flyover here. The Pata Department store is the next block away from this intersection. Two
massage parlours (Chao Phaya 3 and Valentine) are located at the intersection of Arun Amarin and Phra Pin Klao
roads.

Although, Pin Klao may appear far away from Sukhumvit (or Silom), a taxi from Pin Klao to Sukhumvit Soi 3 is
approximately 70 baht. An alternative method of getting to Pin Klao is to get the river ferry to the Pin Klao pier, if
you are staying in the Banglamphoo area, eg Khao San Road, you can also catch the 2 baht cross-river boat
from the Phra Artit/Banglamphoo pier. The Snow White massage parlour is very close to the Pin Klao pier.

Snow White is located at Somdet Phra Pin Klao Road, Soi 5 (also known as Soi Suwichai Damri). Soi 7 with a sign
to the Police Station is right next to Soi 5. Somdet Phra Pin Klao Soi 5 (and 7) is approximately 100 yards from
the Pin Klao Ferry Pier. Mahidol Universityís Administration Office is next to the pier in the background as another
landmark.
Phone #: 435-3523
Comments: Snow White is about 50 yards into Soi 5. As this soi is relatively quiet, you cannot really miss the
place and its shimmering yellow and green neon signs (in Thai only) at night. The place has a mid-size bowl with
about 40-50 girls. Cost is 1,300-1,500 baht. Sideline girls dressed in uniforms sitting opposite the fishbowl cost
~1,800 baht.

Valentine Massage (Star Cafe). On Arun Amarin road, Pata Department store side, near the corner with Phra Pin
Klao road and the large flyover.
Phone #: 424-4570
Comments: There is no sign in English, but there is sign in English for the attached Star Cafe. This place has a
mid-size fish bowl with about 40 girls, divided into 2 sections. The cost being 1,600 and 1,800 baht respectively.

Chao Phaya 3 is next to Valentine Massage on Arun Amarin road.
Phone #: 433-4667
Comments: Next door to Valentine massage is the 3rd branch of the Chao Phaya Turkish Bath and Massage.
There is a large neon sign in English similar to it's better known sister branches on Sri Ayyuthaya road. The Chao
Phaya 3 is very similar in design (but smaller) and atmosphere ë no hassle' to the Chao Phaya 2. But prices are
~100 baht cheaper than the Chao Phaya 2, body and star massage girls cost 1,400 baht and traditional
massage girls are 400 baht or 1,300 baht for full-service. There is also a little ënewbieí bowl with young girls for
1,500 baht. The main bowl is probably half the size of that at the Chao Phaya 2.

**** RAJADAMRI AREA ****

Venus is across the road from the World Trade Centre in the Rajadamri shopping area. It is located across the
soi from the Bangkok Inn.
Phone #: ?
Comments: The cost here is 1,500 baht, the place is fairly small (20 girls) and mainly attracts a local clientele.
Have only ever wandered in.

**** RATCHADAPHISEK ROAD at Huay Kwang Junction ****

Another major area for massage parlours is on Ratchadaphisek Road near the Huay Kwang junction, this area is
commonly referred to as ëRatchadaí. Ratchada is a major entertainment area catering mainly to better-off locals
and other Asian business and tourist groups. Four upscale entertainment complexes are located here, Cesarís,
Emmanuelle, Mirage and Posiedon. However it should be noted there have been postings on the Internet that
farangs and other tourists may get doubled-priced at these places. To get to Ratchada, catch a taxi to the
Emerald Hotel (Sparks disco/kararoke) or other nearby hotels such as the Merchant Court and Siam Beverley
Hills hotels.

Cesarís Entertainment complex is located across the road from the Emerald Hotel. The massage parlour is on the
ground floor located within the restaurant.
Phone #: 692-5063-65
Comments: This place is somewhat akin to dining at a luxurious seafood restuarant with a large aqaurium,
except the aquarium here has girls rather than fish. The bowl is very large, however when I was there the
number of girls available was small. They claim that their VIP rooms are equipped with the largest bath tubs ever
made in Bangkok. Cost is 1,900 baht.

Emmanuelle is an upscale entertainment complex next to Nataree massage parlour on Ratchadaphisek Road.

Comments: The massage section of Emmanuelle is on the floor above the entrance, the massage area is quite
lavish with a large fish bowl, with the standard and body massage girls costing 1,900 or 2,100 baht. There is
also a ëVIP modelí section which was empty the time I visited, cost from 3,000 baht plus.

**** SILOM/PATPONG/RAMA IV AREA ****

In Patpong itself there are 3 small massage parlours that I am aware of, one place in Patpong 1 itself (Tikara
near the King's Castle 3 bar) and the other two in Patpong 2 (Plaza Onzen and La Costa) near the FoodLand
supermarket and Rififi's bar.
Comments: Never been to any of these places so cannot make any comments here.

Versailles is located within the Galaxy No Hands Restaurant complex along Rama IV between Suriwongse and Si
Phaya Roads and is across the road from the Red Cross Snake Farm. It can also be reached by a soi from
Suriwongse that leads to the Rose Hotel.

Helen is located on Rama IV, near the Khlong Toei junction, that is the T-junction of Sunthon Kosa and Rama IV
roads. Helen is located in the first soi off Rama IV after Sunthon Kosa road. If you are coming from Sukhumvit via
Asoke Road, at Rama IV turn right and the Khlong Toei junction is about 100 yards further down Rama IV. The
Khlong Toei junction is where you will find the well known Khlong Toei markets, quite an interesting area in itself
although it may get dangerous (a slum area) late at night if you stray down the wrong soi but it should be OK if
you stay on Rama IV road.
Phone #: 249-1548
Comments: Helen is a smallish place with about 20-30 girls in the fishbowl, including a couple of quite attractive
girls. The cost is 1,500 baht for girls in the bowl and 1,600 baht for the sideline girls who are seated in a bench
area directly on the left hand side of the fishbowl.

**** SRI-AYUTHAYA ROAD ****

Along Sri-Ayuthya road there are 3 massage parlours. These places are within walking distance of the Phya Thai
SkyTrain station which is situated on the corner of Phaya Thai and Sri Ayuthaya Roads. Turn right at Sri-Ayuthaya
road and then walk about 200-300 yards.

Chao Phya 1 (J-One CafÈ) is located next to Phaya Thai 1 hospital.
Phone #: 245-3381
Comments: The fishbowl (40-50 girls) is relatively small compared to the bowl at the Chao Phya II across the
road. The girls in the bowl are available for either 1,800 or 2,000 baht. Sideline girls sitting in the cafÈ are
available for 2,500-3,000 baht. The last time I went (Sept 2000) the price was 1,700 baht for girls in the fishbowl
and 2,000 baht for the special (sideline) girls. Note the Chao Phaya 1 is owned by different management to the
Chao Phaya 2 across the road, and pays a finders fee to touts and will double-price tourists if given the chance.

Continuation -- **** SRI-AYUTHAYA ROAD ****

Chao Phaya 2 is across the road from the Europa Inn near the T junction with Rajadaprop road, and next to a
Toyota Dealership.
Phone #: 245-5740

~500-800 baht) at 500 baht, special body massage (1,500 baht), star massage (1,600 baht) and superstar
massage (1,700 baht). Newbies (1,600 baht) are seated behind the body massage girls in the main bowl. There
is also a small fishbowl on the right of the main bowl with ëspecialí sideline girls (2,300 baht).

Chavalla is just down the road from the Chao Phaya 2 and across the road from the Phaya Thai 1 hospital via an
overhead crossing. Phone #: 245-3003
Comments: 300 baht per hour (minimum of 2 hours) for semi-private cubicle. In cubicle area normally a BJ is

**** SUKHUMVIT AREA ****

Annie's is located in the Raja Hotel, close to Soi 2 entrance but can also be easily reached from the Soi 4
entrance to Hotel car park.
Phone #: 251-5680
Comments: A farang favourite at 1,000 baht (plus tip ~500 baht) but have never tried. Place is a bit small with
about 12-15 girls.

Grace Massage is located in basement of the Grace Hotel, Soi 3. The entrance is located across from the Hotel
coffee shop, down the staircase.
Phone #: ?
Comments: 500 baht per hour but have never tried. As the hotel clientele is primarily Arabic, the girls tend to be
a bit plump.

Darling is located on Sukhumvit Soi 12, there is a BlockBuster Video store on the corner of Soi 12 and Sukhumvit
Road.
Phone #: 229-4652-4
Comments: Relatively expensive at 2,500 baht, or 4,000 baht for a 2 girl sandwich. I believe Darling does not
pay taxi/tuk-tuk drivers and touts a commission and hence many taxi drivers/touts will try to dissuade you from
coming here and talk you into Atami, Vilunda/Angara or Mona Lisa and other places that provide a finders fee.

Chavalla II is located on Sukumvit Road, near Soi 34 and the Rex Hotel. It is located about 100 yards before the
Thong Lo SkyTrain station.
Phone: 258-5374
Comment: Chavalla II operates similar to the original Sri Ayutthaya branch, although it is smaller and there are
no fully private VIP rooms. The cost is 300 baht per hour in a semi-private cubicle area, no full-service but a BJ is
available for a tip. As of November 2000, the minimum time was 2 hours, that is 600 baht.
