If you want to use the services in a massage parlor, you should know that in most cases the ladies work in rotation. This means that the lady you are approached by is not necessarily the one who will treat you, unless you make clear agreements about this in advance.

Blog reader Peter Jiskoot does not make that appointment and read what happened below.

Foot massage in pattaya

It has been years since I had taken a long walk in Pattaya and thought that after this effort I could relax a bit with a foot massage. I did set myself the condition that the masseuse had to be a beautiful and slender Thai young lady.

That should of course work in Pattaya, but after fifteen minutes of walking past several massage parlors I still hadn't come across an attractive lady who would be allowed to touch my feet. After another 15 minutes I got a bit fed up, because no massage parlor I had walked past could offer me what I wanted. I began to doubt whether it was worth looking further and just go to my hotel.

I decided to walk back along the other side of that street and suddenly I saw her standing there. A beautiful young lady with a sweet smile and super slim, it had to be her. I saw my toes curl with happiness and I too was very pleased with my discovery.

I walked up to her and while she held a massage menu in front of me from which I could choose from the different possible massages, she asked in a sultry voice: "What can it be, sir?" I melted at the prospect, because my fantasy was already a bit further than the foot massage and stuttering, because a bit shy, came out: "Euh, euh, I would like to have my feet massaged". That would cost 200 baht and when I agreed, she escorted me inside where I ended up in a luxurious massage chair. I closed my eyes and waited for the beautiful moments to come.

When I opened my eyes again after a few seconds, I saw the lady in the photo, who was fighting with my feet like a Japanese sumo wrestler. My feet were caressed, squeezed, flung about and my toes were almost ripped off my feet. I was so surprised and stunned that it didn't even occur to me to say "No, I don't want that" or "Let me go" and besides, I was terrified that she would also sit on my face .

When it finally ended I paid the 200 baht and stumbled to my hotel. Next time I'll go to the massage parlor around the corner.

    Hahaaaa Peter,
    But it may also be the case that the “inner lock” lady cannot massage at all and you are therefore better off with a real foot massage.
    I let my sweetheart look for a good one and usually they are not so young ladies anymore, but they have mastered the trade. Moreover, with a good foot massage you can reach the realm of dreams within 3 minutes.
    Keep dreaming

    • Yes, there is a difference between a massage and petting or stroking. For a real massage you have to choose the most unattractive lady, she has to compensate for a big tip 😉

      SUPPLEMENT:
      Years ago I was in Vietnam with my friend Chr, who has now passed away for 10 years, and we went to a massage institute for the blind.
      Both of us in beautiful oriental 'pajamas' ready for the massage.
      I was almost asleep when my buddy flew up and dressed like the weed devil.
      “What's going on?” I asked.
      “It's a guy,” he said indignantly. "I'll wait outside"!

        Years ago, my wife and I were also in Vietnam, when we met up with our youngest daughter and a friend of theirs. The friend had never traveled that far before and had never had a massage. So I offered to take the five of us for a massage down the street. The hotel was called “the pink Tulip” and that should have been a hint but it didn't dawn on any of the five of us. The owner was a very nice Dutchman but very “effeminate” (sorry for the pronunciation). We were taken upstairs where there were many cubicles with 1 bed. All cubicles were closed with dark opaque cloths. The men and women were also separated, so I could only communicate with my son-in-law. It is true that young people in their early twenties often have difficulty with direct physical contact by strangers, such as during massages. It was striking that we as men were massaged by very petite boys and the women by very sturdy ladies!! After my masseur started working on my leg, I noticed that he always braked too late when he reached my thigh. So I asked my son-in-law exactly that question. I received a very gruff, curt YES as an answer. We sat through the massage with braking too late each time near our crotch. The ladies had exactly the same experience and after being flabbergasted at first, we were able to laugh about it later. I did indicate that this is not normal practice when you order a massage, because otherwise the chance was too great that that friend and my son-in-law would never have a massage again. The Pink Tulip!!

    Hi Peter, after reading your story I immediately wondered how old you were when this happened. ???
    Like it's important what the lady looks like to massage your feet. !!
    It seems to me that if you walk around with such thoughts that you should have looked for a different type of massage.
    In any case, you have closed your eyes a lot with your sumi massage lady.

  3. david h. says up

    That is why the massage parlors have had their day due to this surreptitious working method with the decoy ladies
    (By the way, you sometimes have that in bars too...! Beautiful appearance that smiles at you sweetly and personally invites you inside and once inside and you order a drink, you sit there alone, and the lady on the street side)

    I think it is an unfair situation, because for the same amount of money you could also unintentionally attract a ladyboy!
    I can understand that everyone likes to earn their baht, but I think the customer is the one who decides. Heard several stories, and not just for foot massage as the poster so (demurely) innocently wrote (lol).

    I think that the lady who recommends your massage should also be able to do it if the customer wants it, and in the second option, it is best to refuse and get out or even get dressed again (in the case of oil or Thai massage), do so and they will learn!

    The stories of “sorry the lady must go, friend sick”, or “live-in lost key..” etc. are countless! ( “runner” )

    Continuing to act like this messes up the whole massage business, they can keep shouting at customers until the end of the shift!
    Once again an example of how they treat tourist to milk it, see the result now….

      David, what's your problem with a ladyboy you could massage, damn there's a dressed up dude touching my perfect farang body. I'm straight and live with a Thai (a real lady), but I don't care who massages me as long as it's done right. I am always massaged by a “gay”, nothing wrong with that and it is really not gentle, but whoever wants to be beautiful has to suffer, only I should not have an oil massage from him, I don't need an oil massage at all because fortunately I have a good relationship with my Thai wife. My partner is always massaged by an older woman, perfect and I thought that's the intention if you come for a non-sexually tinted massage.
      Welcome to massage wonderland.

    • Rob says up

      what's wrong with being foot massaged by a ladyboy? Or any massage at all performed by a ladyboy? Do you really think a ladyboy doesn't realize what you like? I happen to be open to a ladyboy just because I like being massaged by a ladyboy, a nice oil massage yes why not? If they wouldn't be able to do that, the owner/esse would risk their massage parlor, they won't do that, don't worry.

      • KhunTak says up

        I don't think skillful is the right word, but it is when one talks about caressing and kneading.
        But as a massage in itself it has nothing to do with that.
        Knowledge about the foot and the associated foot reflex organs requires thorough training.
        The foot is one of the most neglected parts of the body.

    • Johnny says up

      My wife always checks to see if the ladyboy is available at the salon we usually go to. She just thinks this is the best.

  4. fred says up

    I don't understand well. A good massage is a good massage…..how the person you are massaging looks like is of no importance. If you go to a massage with other intentions than just massaging, it is of course a different matter.
    When my shoulder was bothering me, I just wanted a good massage without more. I then went as a 100% straight to a male masseur, but one who also takes care of the Thai boxers. In short, an expert.

  5. Sjon says up

    Tastes differ, I would have loved to be massaged by your lady in the second picture.

  6. Carl VanGoethem says up

    That's also true, for a good massage you should not take a skinny beauty, but a real farmer's daughter from the Easan region, and you usually have your eyes closed during a massage, a real massage that is, not those games with a happy ending, then you must feast your eyes

  7. Frank says up

    Finding a good masseuse in pattaya is no problem…..my challenge is to find a good looking, slim good masseuse….and they do exist….but they are rare and usually don't linger too long in patts…..

  8. Peter says up

    I usually go to the blind massages is good and treated well .

  9. Mike says up

    It's that simple, walk up to the lady you want for a massage and say "I want a massage from you" and you're done.

  10. Martin says up

    Such neat men all in pattaya, to the massage to massage your feet, then what the hell does it matter what she looks like.

  11. Jack says up

    In the massage parlors the ladies work on a rotating basis. So you could get crooked faces among each other if we all want that one nice one. Regardless, I could imagine that once you have found a good one (there is a difference) you would like to take that one several times. So I think booking for a specific masseuse is acceptable.
    At the time, I was also sent to a male masseur on the advice of a friend. That was the best massage ever though I prefer a nice Thai clean. A little imagination never hurts, right?
    It is actually the same as a beautiful or a less beautiful barmaid besides the price tag, you will often enjoy the less beautiful one, that is my experience. You also don't go out with the local dragon of the bar, while perhaps the sweetest, wildest and least cuddly of the company.

    • fred says up

      What is beautiful ? Seems very different for everyone and that's a good thing. For one you are very attractive and for the other very repulsive.

    • Arnold says up

      In the Netherlands it is not much different. You can book an appointment by name so that you are treated by your favorite masseuse and if you don't, you will be treated by the masseuse who takes turns. And just like in Thailand, the better masseuses are often not the pretty young girls.

      Of course, you usually don't see who works inside on the outside of the business. Because everyone is inside you don't have the 'decoys' or 'proppers' as you see in Thailand.

  12. Jef says up

    I hope all these men who just want a massage from a beautiful, young, slim massager look a little good themselves. !!!

    • RonnyLatYa says up

      If they have to take that into account, they have no work at all 🙂

  13. Roger says up

    Have had dozens of massages over the years. And discovered no correlation between the quality of the massage and the beauty or age of the masseuse.
    But I recognize the story. During my first trip to Thailand I ended up in Chiang Mai at a reintegration salon of the womens prison. Received by a smooth young lady, and treated by a lady who reminded me of a similar situation from a James bond movie with Roger Moore and a hefty toothless masseuse. And it hurt too….

  14. Jacobus says up

    In Ayutthaya on the old market you can get a massage by people who are blind, they know exactly what they are doing and can feel exactly whether your muscles are in the right position or not, in short, a very good massage for little money.
    Highly recommended try greetings Co

  15. Yan says up

    Also experienced this a few years ago in Pattaya…second road, massage parlor next to the then 24/24 restaurant “Kiss”…Nice and beautiful lady who took me upstairs for the “massage”…After about 10 minutes it was suggested that I also have sex...which I didn't feel the need for at that moment. Suddenly the beauty disappeared and 2 minutes later there was a “dragon” at the massage table to do the normal massage…

    • William Borsboom says up

      Yes dreams are sometimes rudely disturbed. Expectations set too high. I was once in Thailand on vacation with my son and also came across such a nice tent. Nice ladies on the seats in front. We thought that would be something: nice massage after the long walk. Led to the treatment table and a nice lady appeared in front of me who immediately started with massage. Delicious. A moment later I turned around and saw a guy standing next to us who was treating my son. Close your eyes and very quiet! Afterwards he said: Just leave it that way. Lucky he said to me. We have often laughed about it.

  16. William Borsboom says up

    Well Peter she looks sturdy but after that you made it to your hotel. Still secretly looked and took a picture because you didn't want to forget that dream.

  17. J.C. Melissen says up

    It is indeed true that people work in a touring area. But you are always free to make a choice for a lady you like, if they are available. You can also book the lady you like again next time.
    I always go to The One Healt Massage opposite the Chilled Mail in Pattaya. At least 5 ladies work there who are slim and not too old, and in my opinion also look good. But the most important thing is of course, they also give a good massage.

  18. Jack S says up

    Well, I'm not a fan of massage at all, but if I had a choice, I would also choose the young lady in the first photo and if she were even a ladyboy with such a beautiful face, I would have no problem with it either. ...she not only looks beautiful, but also seems like someone you can laugh with.

  19. Jack says up

    Good looking masseuses won't work for 200 bht. They can get 1000 BHT in half an hour with happy ending massages.

  20. Jack says up

    By the way, once I have found a good masseuse, I will stick with it. I don't care if it's her turn or not.
    But I don't look at appearance, ultimately I go for the massage.
