The Thai soapy body-2-body massage. How does it work, & where do I get one?
Many of you maybe curious as to how these soapy body-2-body massage parlors are operated, & how they can get one.I'm going to tell you how these soapy massage parlors work, discuss some of the procedures you’ll want to follow, & generally make it as easy as possible to have a go if you’d like to participate yourself.
At the bottom of this post, I’ll give you two recommendations for good soapy massage venues in Bangkok.
When you walk into a soapy massage venue, the first thing you’ll see is what’s known as a 'fishbowl,' where various masseusessporting numbers on their clothing will be smiling & hoping you’ll select one of them. Massage venues offer lots of services, & not all of them include soapies. Typically, the soapy ladies sit on the left of the fishbowl, but ask anyway. You may see some Japanese & Korean customers there, who love to get right up to the fishbowl glass, then look at the masseuses through binoculars, presumably so they can check the pores of their skin.
Just pick the masseuse you’d like, & the manager will call her to the desk, where you pay for your massage & meet your masseuse.
Special soapy instruments create an awful lot of hot, foamy suds.
She’ll lead you up to your room, which has two discrete sections, a 'wet' area for the large bathtub & a bathside deck where the large plastic inflatable mattress sits, & a separate 'dry' area for a bed, a couch, & maybe a coffee table. You’ll be asked if you’d like something to drink. Please do, as the drink server makes 100 baht per day, & you’ll want to tip her at least 20 baht to show good manners. Another attendant will bring a large plastic basket with everything your masseuse will use for the massage, including soaps, lotions, & small special baskets & sponges she’ll use to generate hot, soapy suds. After your session is over, your masseuse will usually leave a 20 baht tip on the top of the basket for the attendant. Now that your drink has arrived, your masseuse will lock the door, & your soapy experience begins.
Your soapy massage experience occurs in three stages:- a thorough washing in the large bathtub, a full-body nude rubdown-massage on the hot, soapy air mattress, & a final massage/adult services session on the bed. Although the bathtub washing generally occurs first, some masseuses prefer giving you the air mattress treatment first. In both situations, you & your masseuse will be fully nude (with the exception of the Minnie Mouse or Hello Kitty shower cap she may be wearing to keep her hair from getting wet) & all soaped-up. If you’ve 'clicked' with your masseuse, she may even sing to you through the entire experience, at no additional charge.
Veterans of the soapy experience are essentially here for the mattress part.Initially, you’ll lie face down on the mattress while your masseuse first covers you with hot, soapy water, then uses every imaginable portion of her body to slide over the back of your body. After every imaginable area of the back of your body has been body-massaged by every imaginable frontal area of your masseuse’s, she’ll ask you to turn over for a little front-2-front. There are some amazing positions for massage wherein your masseuse faces you while lying down, then intertwines her legs around & through yours, then massages you with her thighs. There’s always a mirror above so you can get a bird’s eye view of your experience. This activity usually lasts 10-15 minutes.
You’ll be very relaxed after your mattress, bathtub, & shower experience, so dry off, move to the bed, & enjoy yourself. If your masseuse didn’t give you a real muscle massage on the air mattress, she may do that now. Or she may do that after other activities more adult in nature have finished. Every masseuse has a different approach, & it’s best to let her be the director. You’re role is the actor.
When you’re finished doing everything you wanted & have had a nice conversation, your masseuse will give you a final shower. You’ll dry off, put on your clothes, then go back down in the lift together. Tips are not usually required, but if you liked your experience, a 300-500 baht tip is very much appreciated. In an average soapy massage parlor charging 1900 baht for the soapy, the masseuse will get 1k baht of it. Remember that these nice ladies are, just about all circumstances, the main or only breadwinners for their sometimes very large families. If you’ve been a polite customer, you’ve brightened her day.
Is the soapy experience only for males? No. Women can come by themselves for a soapy, and so can couples. The manager can help you, & he or she will speak English (your masseuse’s English may be limited, but don’t worry, she’ll know enough to ensure that you’re happy). If you’re a couple, you’ll be expected to pay for two masseuses, & all you have to do is tell the masseuses what you’d like to do. As an example, one masseuse told us that a western couple both came for a soapy, then the man had protected activity with the two masseuses before bare-backing his wife. The bed’s big enough, & has enough mirrors, that everyone gets a nice, scenic view.
Things to remember.
These ladies are usually working in the massage business to make a better life for their families, & showing that you understand this makes you a more empathetic customer. Ask about her family, joke a little, and do whatever you can to make sure she has a good time too. Talk politely with them & treat them with respect.
If you have a great experience & want to see the same masseuse again, ask for her phone number before you say goodbye. That way, you can call at a later date to ensure she’ll be there for you.
