What to Expect at a Bangkok Massage Shop

While wandering the lively streets of Silom, I came across a discreet massage shop. No neon signs, no loud promotions — just a quiet door with a “Massage” sign. Curious, I stepped in.

I paid 400 baht (about $11 USD) at the counter for a one-hour massage. However, what happened next took me completely by surprise: a lineup of shirtless, athletic young men waiting for me to choose.

If you’re new to Bangkok gay massages, this may feel overwhelming. Just remember — smile, relax, and pick the boy who feels right to you.

Price Breakdown: How Much I Paid

Massage fee: 400 baht (paid to the shop)
Minimum tip for the boy: 2000 baht (paid separately after service)

In total, I spent around $66 USD for the entire experience.

Keep in mind: the massage fee is for the shop, but the tip covers the boy’s service — including anything beyond standard massage.

Inside the Private Room: What Really Happens

After choosing a boy — a tanned, muscular young man with a dazzling smile — we went upstairs to a private room. Basic but clean, with a queen-size bed and a small shower area.

We showered together, breaking the ice quickly.

The massage started — but only lasted about five minutes before it became much more intimate.

Unlike professional spas, Bangkok gay massage shops like this are focused more on creating a sensual, personal experience rather than therapeutic muscle work.

Without rushing, the boy transitioned from light massage to passionate service. He was sweet, skilled, and genuinely attentive, making it feel much less transactional than I expected.

Tips for First-Time Visitors

If you’re planning to try a gay massage in Bangkok, here are some important tips:

Language: Most boys speak limited English. Simple words and lots of smiles help.
Set Expectations: Politely ask if he’s OK with what you want (top, bottom, mutual, etc.).
Time Management: Sessions can end early if you both finish quickly. Don’t expect a full hour if the chemistry is hot!
Payment: Always pay the shop first, and tip the boy separately in cash afterward.
Respect: Treat the boys with kindness. They are working hard, and a little politeness goes a long way.
