Soapy Massage Pattaya Bangkok

Soapy Massage Pattaya Bangkok

Soapy Massage Pattaya Bangkok certainly is an experience you will enjoy and remember for a very long time. The one above is on the corner of 2nd road & Soi 2.

Opposite Atlantic Bar in 2nd Rd.

The Atlantic bar has been my local for many years, for lots of photos just follow THIS LINK.

Waiting for a customer

They usually sit in a glass room & have a number displayed, the potential customer studies the group then makes a decision.

A typical body-to-body massage parlor in Bangkok is open from 10:00 until midnight, seven days a week. They only close on major holidays. Most parlors are located in townhouses and have small rooms with shower. More exclusive parlours offer larger VIP rooms with Jacuzzi. The price level will, of course, reflect this. Read general information about B2B massage in Thailand HERE.

The price level in central Bangkok is quite standardized because most parlors are located side by side in a few areas in Sukhumvit Road, namely Soi 22, Soi 24, Soi 24/1, Soi 26 and Soi 33. This is what you should expect to pay:

Body massage with happy ending from 500 to 1,000 baht (30 to 60 minutes). The masseuse is dressed.
B2B massage with happy ending from 1,000 to 2,500 baht (60 to 120 minutes).
B2B massage with full service from 2,000 to 3,000 baht (60 to 120 minutes). NB: This service is not offered by all B2B parlors.

Showtime

It does not get much better than this. 🙂

Sabai in 2nd Rd next to Central Marina.

There is a bar so you can relax with a beer while making your choice.

VIP body massage

Choose who should massage you. 🙂

Yogurt massage

What the heck is a Yogurt massage?

I guess I’ll put it on my list. 🙂

What harm could it do?

Soapy Massage Pattaya Bangkok

This is as good as it gets, you gotta love Thailand. 🙂

Some guys may prefer a crowd. 🙂

Be careful not to bite off more than you can chew. 🙂 🙂 🙂

I usually stick to a foot massage.

I indulge 3 or 4 times a week, totally relaxing spending the hour reading my Kindle.

Prices have not changed for 15 years

I only pay B200 for a foot massage in Pattaya, Bangkok is around B100 more.

These will make you look twice. 🙂

Funny Signs Pattaya Thailand

Funny Signs Pattaya Thailand that will certainly make you look twice. So for those who have a sense of humour, check into the Golden Crab in Soi 13 then enjoy a massage at Lucky Finger before have a beer or 2 at the Dogs Bollocks bar in Soi 13/1.

Lucky Finger Massage

Located in 2nd Road opposite Mike shopping mall.

One of life’s great pleasures

I indulge 4 or 5 times a week, one of the great advantages of living in Thailand.

Dog’s Bollocks Bar

A very popular English bar in Soi 13/1. There are many hundreds perhaps thousands of bars in Pattaya, follow THIS LINK for guide on where to find them.

Well known restaurant

This branch is in Pattaya which is rated by TripAdvisor #79 of 1,026 Restaurants in Pattaya, & there is also one in Bangkok where they claim to be one of the finest Thai restaurants in the city.

A very interesting sign

Located in an Aussie bar in Walking St, you would never get away with this in all the political correct countries in the west.

One of the more risque signs

This bar can be found in busy Soi LK Metro which is one of the most popular bar areas in Pattaya. Follow THIS LINK for guide on where to find some other districts.

Soi Lenki hosts the Nooky Bar.

A catchy name for a bar in this busy Street.

This may be a tasty one

Or healthy perhaps. 🙂

Another interesting massage parlor.

Let your imagination run riot here. 🙂

Krabi beach resort Thailand

August 28, 2013 by David Herd

One of my favourite places in Thailand.

Krabi beach resort Thailand.

Krabi beach resort Thailand is far more relaxed & lay back than many other Thai resorts. It seems to me the biggest % of tourists come from Scandinavia, consequently there are quite a few Swedish & Norwegian restaurants, which suits me fine as I love Skagen.

Lots of good restaurants in Krabi.

Krabi beach resort Southern Thailand is growing fast, in the last few years Tesco, HomePro, Big C have all opened and a new International hospital is in the final stages of construction. Krabi has a reputation of being a true Thai countryside location and with the now enlarged Krabi International airport is seen as the ideal balance between convenience and lifestyle. People are being drawn to Krabi in search of the idyllic beach life that Phuket and Koh Samui offered a decade ago but are in danger of losing as they get bigger. International residents are catered for, although on a smaller scale than Phuket, with regard to immigration services and English speaking staff in local government offices. Entertainment options are on the increase as are true International standard Hotels and attractions. To cater for the inward surge of potential residents, many real estate companies have emerged building high quality villas and homes specifically for foreigners.

Krabi beach resort Thailand massage huts.

Here in Krabi they really focus on Thai massages which are one of the world’s great pleasures for around $12 for two hours. That price was in 2013, sadly now with the AUD exchange rate it’s $18. Follow @David_Herd

Massage under the trees

A fabulous way to relax in Krabi.

Silicon on the sand.

I’m not sure if this person is male or female. 🙂

Bus in Krabi.

The easy way to get around the village.

Long-tail boats take you to the islands.

Krabi beach resort Thailand in the southern province on the Andaman seaboard with perhaps the country’s oldest history of continued settlement. After dating stone tools, ancient colored pictures, beads, pottery and skeletal remains found in the province’s many cliffs and caves, it is thought that Krabi has been home to Homo Sapiens since the period 25,000 – 35,000 B.C. In recorded times it was called the ‘Ban Thai Samor’, and was one of twelve towns that used, before people were widely literate, the monkey for their standard. At that time, c. 1200 A.D., Krabi was tributary to the Kingdom of Ligor, a city on the Kra Peninsula’s east coast better known today as Nakhon Si Thammarat. (Thanks to Wikipedia)

A little piece of Paradise

Quite a crowd walking on the beach today.

A nice beach with clean water & sand.

Limestone outcrops.

The Ko Lanta National Park, also in Krabi province, includes several coral-fringed islands with well-known diving sites. The largest island, Ko Lanta Yai, is the site of park headquarters, and is also home to Chao Le, or sea gypsies who sustain themselves largely through fishing. The islands are best visited during the non-monsoon months of October through April.

The rock faces at Railay Beach near Ao Nang have attracted climbers from all over the world and each year are the venue for the Rock and Fire Festival. There are several Rock Climbing schools at Railay beach.

Ao Nang beach is where I prefer to stay.

Krabi is a relaxing beach resort thailand

November 2008, 12 hour taxi ride.

Sadly Les passed away in March 2020, RIP.

Here is our happy taxi driver

It was a long 12 hour trip from Pattaya to Krabi.

Krabi beach resort Thailand

Krabi is well worth a visit, put it on your bucket list.

Koh Khai

Koh Khai is a group of famous tiny islands a 15 minute speedboat ride from Phuket’s east coast. There are 3 islands: Koh Khai Nai, Khai Nai Island and Koh Khai Nok, their names get a little confusing, especially once you know that ‘Koh’ means ‘Island’ in Thai.
