This is exactly the kind of thread I like.

I’ve found some of my best sessions way outside the main tourist strips. One place near Bang Chak BTS — looked totally dead from the outside, but once inside? Clean room, friendly girl, no rush, full service with zero negotiation. Price was almost half of what you'd pay near Nana.

The key is low expectations, high awareness. Don’t walk in looking like a sex-starved tourist. Be polite, casual, and local-style — and magic tends to happen.

Curious to hear if anyone's found gold in the suburbs. Always looking for new detours.

I found a place called “Lavender Thai” in Lat Phrao — barely any English signage, no neon lights, just a quiet storefront. I walked in, expecting a standard Thai massage, but the older masseuse offered a “boyfriend-style” package in Thai. It included cuddling, mutual touching, and a slow HJ that felt more like a date than a transaction. Only cost 1,200 baht for 90 minutes. Total sleeper spot.

Venture down Ramkhamhaeng Road and you'll find dozens of massage parlors that cater to locals. I found a gem that had zero tourists inside — just Thai salarymen. The girl gave me a legit back massage first, then leaned in and whispered if I wanted something “special” — all negotiated discreetly. These places don’t do signs or menus. You have to build a little trust. But the prices are almost half of Sukhumvit rates.

Try heading into the Ratchadaphisek area in Bangkok or the neighborhoods behind Jomtien Beach in Pattaya. Smaller shops, no neon signs, and girls who aren’t burnt out from tourist turnover. You won’t always score, but when you do — it feels like a secret you don’t want to share.

Found a small shop in Ratchada where the girl offered a full hour of sensual massage and never looked at the clock. No neon signs, just real service. These quiet spots are where the magic happens.

Head north to Nonthaburi or out to Jomtien—you’ll find shops that cater to locals but welcome farangs. Less attitude, better pricing, and sometimes shocking extras that rival red-light areas.
