I have been visiting local Spa, MP, TCM scene for as long as the past 6 years. Have seen massage prices from $45 per hour increase to $55 per hour, then increase to $68 per hour recently. I am talking about the basic normal body massage now most places are already charging $68.


Worst still, many of this so called SPAs have introduced the bullshit Hot Oil massage/ Bubble massage (whatever they called it) which cost $89 or $99 to massage your butt or lower part of your body, then the ML can offer HJ to you. That being said, even if the ML offers HJ to you, they still charge you 2 blues for a simple HJ with autoroam, and they said this is the standard market price for all Spas. I wondered which idiots set this price.

My last straw is on a fateful day 2 months ago in May. I have been following this regular ML of mine from day 1 she started working in SG. She a PRC who came to Singapore 6 years ago when she was 25. She have hopped around many shops from the $45 per hour till the $89 per hour shop she is in now. So this fateful day in May I visited her, as usual i took up the $89 package as this is the shop policy and after finishing the SOP, I took out 2 blues from my wallet and prepare to tip her, this is when she told me now every ML in the same shop have set the market price to $150 so you have to tip me $150 from now onwards. I lan lan took out another $50 and passed it to her.

6 years of supporting her and yet this is what she did to me. How much money I have spent on her during these period of 6 years. Told my friend about it and he laughed and jio me to venture the Spas in JB with him. I was much happier, the MLs in JB can really play and less money minded. More Nationalities to choose from, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesians. 1 hour of aromatherapy body oil massage cost only RM75, The tips for the MLs for HJ with autoroam depending on chemistry is a mere RM50. The total damage adds up is just RM125. RM125 is equivalent to SGD$36 based on the latest currency conversion. I can get the same thing for SGD$36 in JB compared to the SGD$239 ($89+$150tips) I get in Singapore.

In conclusion, that sums up my thoughts of the worrying local Spa scene currently. I hope the MLs in Singapore can wake up their bloody idea. Bros, thank you for reading, whether you agree with me or not, you can add in your inputs and thoughts below.

Well quite normal for price to increase in Singapore. Not just services, just in general. And also the business owners generally quite greedy not always the fault of the ML but it is what it is.

Although I feel like your regular ML treated you damn badly, really just treat you like a carrot head.

The services being cheaper overseas is quite normal also. Only issue for some people is whether they can spare the time to travel or even allowed to travel since some with wives/girlfriends.

So I think that there will always be a demand for the services here even if the prices do go up.

Spoken to a young viet ML before and she told me that a lot of the customers that are tipping above average are those old uncles or retirees with a lot of money on hand. They have a lot of free time and often visit at non-peak period to try all the Ang pai/syt ML in the spa.

They tend to pay the cheapest entry so they are able to give more tips. The counter usually also won’t hardsell them because of non-peak hours (e.g 9am).

But because of the additional tips, it will cause a snowball effect. Making ML think that we are willing to pay such high prices.

Oh this is true about the old uncles/retirees. I go to one clean massage place for foot reflexology weekly. Always see this one uncle come find one masseuse all the time. And not even to massage...it is to give her food and money. It is quite funny and a little sad, see the girl always brush him off, and try chase him away so as not to be seen together. But of course, she will take the money haha.

That is why need to be financially independent before we cheong. Save money and invest first before cheonging, then after that money will grow money for us to cheong

"Market price" of 3B for what level of setvice? Very happy? Super happy?

You are too kind to the ML. Should have acted blur and say that you only have 2B (or 1B if u want to play punk back at her).

Sound like it is “quite normal” also that you always pay $239 to ML perhaps

150 for hj is just out of hand. she's just disrespecting you and your 6 year relationship. should name the shop here so we can avoid.

Sad case that a 6 years support has to go through this as though how much tip received by the ML is reported. Yes, it is time to move on. As much as she could have told I the policy but she could just collect 2B or maybe +2R instead.

I have encountered that MLs returned the extra "change" or asking me to come and support her during her desperate time telling me that tip will not be required.

Anyway it is not fair to compare ringgit Vs SGD, 10rm is enough for more than a proper meal in Msia but, but U cant even get the cheapest sandwich in local 7-11 with that. Of coz if U have the time, going to Msia to enjoy would be the best. My limit for sg scene is 2B tip unless it goes beyond hj/roaming.

No one can stop inflation de la...
I also dun like going to those 88 spa and knife sharp top up ML.
So just have to avoid and choose wisely lo.
Similarly, if ppl are cash rich and nowhere to spend, of coz they will opt for exclusivity by paying more, human nature mah.

Not sure in what world do these ML and their customers live in, to charge so high.

Can still find $150 $180 all in (entrance+GQ) can get full service already with pretty young viet ML. Now so competitive.
Every other day new ML appearing in shops. A lot come and go. They need to maximize the number of customers they can get before they leave. 10,13,15 customers a day full booking except weekends. Then 3-6 months zao liao with a tidy sum made. Then next time introduce to their other friends to come SG be ML also.

Those stay in SG for many years will take it for granted to chop you more. Those kind sit outside the shop, chill and wait for people to come. They need to chop a larger price to cover for lesser customers. And then not bothering to offer more. And some still justify say if not how they survive

In Chinese saying: you are no victim if you willingly bite the bait
We cannot blame the cost of going to spa n the related cut throat extras because we are the willing party, no matter how long u supported the ML, u r nothing but a faceless customer cos she treated few hundred if not thousands of men the same way, the same reason why so many can earn in sg then bring back the money to buy property/start business /spend, then come back for mor n start another cycle n u r nothing but part of that cycle. To be crude, u r the moving ATM machine who goes to her willingly, she didn’t force u to go did she? Maybe she use WeChat to tell u how much she misses u, for sure she misses ur function as the ATM machine. Everything is transactional n nothing is free, n free of inflation in this case. We can’t compare with Msia cos the competition there is so stiff n local men are happily married, not many are like Singaporean who are sex starved everyday just think of where to get HJ/FJ. So the Msia ML/FL there go for cheap catch cos they dun get much from local men. But compared to JB, u can’t just walk downstairs for a quickie (n pay through ur nose) like in SG, so the local cut throat spas will still survive, with or without ur support.

Ya. Or those in SLG $120-$130 for basic. And condo environment also.
If you tip $50 they will also treat you like king. Below 25 also can find sometimes
Also cheaper than $239 :D

100 for HJ roam is v unacceptable even in today's market price. 80 is the max limit. Some ML will still open 100 just dont give in. Most will accept 50 basic HJ still.

And don't fork out more just because u are regular. IMO supposed to be opposite, regular gets more/better service for same or less money. If not can move on already.

They can continue to increase price, but I can also continue not to support.

All these silly spas are dime a dozen in SG. Their business does not seem rosy too, cos can see all the MLs constantly promoting & asking for biz on WC.

At the current prices they are charging, I will rather go GL legal house for 1 shot. You can a huge proper room, shower facilities, the girl bath and wash you from top to bottom, dun need worry about all the extra charges rubbish

Their only anchor of support now is those silly uncles & retirees with loads of CPF money and free time. But how long can this go on? The younger & more educated customers will rather go abroad to cheong these days as it is so much more value for money.

The exorbitant prices at the spas are just emblematic of the hyperinflation that’s been going on in this cuntry. And there are Sinkies who think the few token vouchers are going to help them offset the rising costs. Keep voting for the same people, not only will you be forced to go to Jb for sex, very soon the womenfolk in your families could be forced to work as maids, and who knows MLs etc to serve foreigners

As many bros have pointed out it is the CPF uncles/retirees with lots of money to spend and lots of spare time to kill that spoil the market.

What to do? Exit the spa scene and go for GL/FL or use KC instead of money.

My viet ML sometimes I forgot to give 1B tip (because it is cat 1 spa and she will exit the room as per protocol) also never ask for it. But I pay double next visit.

THis wouldn't work.

THEy have to pay $89/$99 to have a chance of getting a Paid HJ. If they pay anything lesser, they will not get offered a paid hj.

I am talking about most $89/99 spas. There are very few $89/99 spas that contravene this rule.

Spoken to a young viet ML before and she told me that a lot of the customers that are tipping above average are those old uncles or retirees with a lot of money on hand. They have a lot of free time and often visit at non-peak period to try all the Ang pai/syt ML in the spa.

My take is always ask what their rates. Also gather some intel about the shop.
If they quote me $100, say everyone also ask for this amt or even tell me other customers give even more. I will say I got other better rate elsewhere.
I will reject, just let them hj me and never to visit that ML again.
I will test another ML and if she say the same thing, that will be it for visiting that shop.

But if the ML give me a diff rate than what every other ML is asking ($100) then I will rtm. Of cos I wont go ard different ML in the same shop saying who n who give me cheaper rate.

just my own experience :D:D:D
Read some of the posts in other threads and you will realise many are thinking 80/100/150 is the norm.
Number of mls entering and number of shops have been increasing - supply has been increasing since Covid. Yet rates are also going up. Can't be demand is increasing faster than supply. Have seen many foreigners visiting MP and maybe contributing to the increase in demand, and paying above market rates since they aren't sure what they are.
I just feel that if an ml asked for ridiculous price, don't even downgrade to a lower service. Just walked out. We can't get a 100 fj, we pay 100 for bj. Can't get 80 bj, we pay 80 for hj. Mls still earn. Walk off and they earn 10 tip. Go to your regular ml to release. End of the month, pressure is on the mls to meet their target. Some have dropped their rates to get more customers. Those ang pais one you have no chance to try without paying higher than market.
Easier said than done but I have done that and not return again. Only when more and more customers keep rejecting those rates, will they start to drop. Unfortunately, there are still many prepared to pay higher rates, and the mls are happy to keep asking.
JB is not an easy alternative for most of us. We just want a quick 1 to 2 hour fix. The drive, immigration and the time aren't worth the savings. And more probably not doable for family men.
My sympathy to TS. Unforgiveable but as mentioned in one of the posts- we are their ATM machines

Some said price up due to those silly uncles & retirees with loads of CPF money and free time.
But to me tat is just min
U can read many posts in this sector .... once 1 posted MR with much higher then the nom price to u but still many ask for ctc
Its all down to diff level of play with how deep is yr pocket

Just reject if not yr game in term of pricing just like me ... they will not make a single cent if they insist on their price
There still many at a reasonable price tat suit u
And many openly advertised here for basic need
If not then go those in condo 120 n some will msg u with FN but beware of landmine :)

In near futures when MRT go to JB let us see how the price will be

Read some of the posts in other threads and you will realise many are thinking 80/100/150 is the norm.
Number of mls entering and number of shops have been increasing - supply has been increasing since Covid. Yet rates are also going up. Can't be demand is increasing faster than supply. Have seen many foreigners visiting MP and maybe contributing to the increase in demand, and paying above market rates since they aren't sure what they are.
I just feel that if an ml asked for ridiculous price, don't even downgrade to a lower service. Just walked out. We can't get a 100 fj, we pay 100 for bj. Can't get 80 bj, we pay 80 for hj. Mls still earn. Walk off and they earn 10 tip. Go to your regular ml to release. End of the month, pressure is on the mls to meet their target. Some have dropped their rates to get more customers. Those ang pais one you have no chance to try without paying higher than market.

Well said from a regular Bro. I hv agreed with u 200%.
Im not expert here but here is my 2 cents:-

If that ML's lion mouth so big, if u nego. She said no money dun come out and play. If not, ML always said this is the best price, all other MP also same or higher.

If we adhered to ML's greediness, it will spoilt the Market.
Next bro will be victim under their lioness'big mouth with razor teeth.

Lastly, yes we can move on our usual playgd. ( Im sure most bros have their own favourite play grd, and favourite ML. Some bro will be happy to share, some dun.)
I one of those. If I hv , I share.
I would like to thank those bro who shared with me privately, and I dun shared this. This is respect other bros who shared their ML ctc.

Lets dun blow to those ML's Lionness demand. Our $$$ is hard earned money , not bank printed money.

Not sure in what world do these ML and their customers live in, to charge so high.

Can still find $150 $180 all in (entrance+GQ) can get full service already with pretty young viet ML. Now so competitive.
Every other day new ML appearing in shops. A lot come and go. They need to maximize the number of customers they can get before they leave. 10,13,15 customers a day full booking except weekends. Then 3-6 months zao liao with a tidy sum made. Then next time introduce to their other friends to come SG be ML also.

Those stay in SG for many years will take it for granted to chop you more. Those kind sit outside the shop, chill and wait for people to come. They need to chop a larger price to cover for lesser customers. And then not bothering to offer more. And some still justify say if not how they survive

your ml definitely did u dirty bro. support her 6 years for this. unless something special like hairspa or something im mostly only open to accept ~68 entrance oil massage. was it 150 super happy? anything less than super happy your ml definitely chopping u

v salon in jb 60 SGD can CIM so to be fair is a hard fight

You are a senior and expert bro.
To add - ml would say she asking more because her service is better than the others. "Really? How would you know how the other mls 'service are like? Are you saying those I have visited are ugly and bad?"

Threadstarter has grown too attached to the ML in my opinion. Come out play, don't get emo, you only burn yourself.

There are still $50 to $60 massage shops but you have to dig a bit deeper. Other than that, just refuse to go to those $88 shops. My decision to boycott $88 before covid times and up to today still stands and it's still 1 of the best decisions ever.

I got one ML that moved to an expensive spa too. when they had promo, she also didn't tell me. found out they get a cut from the entrance fee also, that's why they also enthu about us going for 88, 89 or even higher packages. then the thing about saying inflation has raised Hj prices lor, now 100, 120, 150 also can find.

Bro csn share the spa so fellow bros are aware?

I have been visiting local Spa, MP, TCM scene for as long as the past 6 years. Have seen massage prices from $45 per hour increase to $55 per hour, then increase to $68 per hour recently. I am talking about the basic normal body massage now most places are already charging $68.


Worst still, many of this so called SPAs have introduced the bullshit Hot Oil massage/ Bubble massage (whatever they called it) which cost $89 or $99 to massage your butt or lower part of your body, then the ML can offer HJ to you. That being said, even if the ML offers HJ to you, they still charge you 2 blues for a simple HJ with autoroam, and they said this is the standard market price for all Spas. I wondered which idiots set this price.

My last straw is on a fateful day 2 months ago in May. I have been following this regular ML of mine from day 1 she started working in SG. She a PRC who came to Singapore 6 years ago when she was 25. She have hopped around many shops from the $45 per hour till the $89 per hour shop she is in now. So this fateful day in May I visited her, as usual i took up the $89 package as this is the shop policy and after finishing the SOP, I took out 2 blues from my wallet and prepare to tip her, this is when she told me now every ML in the same shop have set the market price to $150 so you have to tip me $150 from now onwards. I lan lan took out another $50 and passed it to her.

6 years of supporting her and yet this is what she did to me. How much money I have spent on her during these period of 6 years. Told my friend about it and he laughed and jio me to venture the Spas in JB with him. I was much happier, the MLs in JB can really play and less money minded. More Nationalities to choose from, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesians. 1 hour of aromatherapy body oil massage cost only RM75, The tips for the MLs for HJ with autoroam depending on chemistry is a mere RM50. The total damage adds up is just RM125. RM125 is equivalent to SGD$36 based on the latest currency conversion. I can get the same thing for SGD$36 in JB compared to the SGD$239 ($89+$150tips) I get in Singapore.

In conclusion, that sums up my thoughts of the worrying local Spa scene currently. I hope the MLs in Singapore can wake up their bloody idea. Bros, thank you for reading, whether you agree with me or not, you can add in your inputs and thoughts below.

Thinking out loud - how has inflation resulted in hj going from 50 to 80 (60%), bj from 80 to 100 (25%), fj from 100 to 150 (50%). GST increase 1%, inflation 10%, extra services 25% to 50%. Real income -10% (Sorry I am no accountant!)

Imo, that P massage top up is bullshit. Prostate massage is better done with her finger in the arse to clear any liquid in the prostate.

If that P means Penis, then it's just a overpriced hand job.

Either way, prices of services have gone up but we shouldn't expect any less level of services like roaming during hj etc. Asking for top up to roam is pretty weird.

There's once I didn't wanna top up and she just mechanical hj me all the way, and I didn't give in easily since I don't cum that easily from her mechanical hj when I can do it better myself 😂

Sound like it is “quite normal” also that you always pay $239 to ML perhaps

Ah I see where I read the post wrong. I actually thought he paid for super happy. Wow if HJ then I no comment...even 2B for just HJ is not worth. Not normal then haha. Even $239 for super happy is not worth but I do see this is how some people here pay anyway entrance + 150.

I myself wont pay more than $58 entrance if I want super happy. I only willing to pay more entrance fee up to $68 if the massage is good. Super happy caps off at $120 for me. Won't pay more since I travel to either Thailand and Vietnam almost every 10 days.

The Greedy Spa owner set the price la. pretty obvious and for the autoroam hj , set by the greedy ML. My take is total boycott and avoid thes $58, 68, 78, SPA , and whatever and support those $50-55 SPA. Only go to those that has 1hr $50 or maybe $55 . That it ! Other than that please TOTAL BOYCOTT $58, $68 etc and up. If all can stick together, in no time, the money greedy boss either has to adjust to our demand or close shop

Visited 3 times spa setting entrance fee 68 and 88 kind. All 3 times the asking was 50 for hj only and 100 for u to touch them plus hj. Got mixture of viet and china ML. Managed to negotiate the viet one to 60 to touch but then she wasnt even pretty
Honestly to pay 88 + 100 is too much for a hj. I rather save the money.

A. She milked u like a goat
B. You did it to yrself, cos, apparently yr vocab does not include the word N.O. and/or you are too small in the balls department to say it, or too desperate.

I am a mere foreigner here. Not a local, so i shud be at disadvantage based on global norms.

* i have literally never paid over 150 to fuk ( total total); usually 130

* i have never paid more than 70 for a full strip handy...tho i dont do handy often

* i have never laid on a massage bed like a wet flounder waiting for this weird local thing called GQ...(btw, tis idea is also weird aka unknown to most of my local HK, loxal PRC pals in the scene);

I go in, speak to the lady i want directly, tell her wat i want & my price.

Outcome 1. She declines, i walk.
Outcome 2. She accepts, i enter, we shag, i depart.

Just dun get why people here struggle with this concept.

Ok..intg response...but..hear you..but mate i am not talking geylang option ( looked a couple of times in past tbh, but usually not doable types IMO), Dome mebbe an option but always also the issues of attending the location, making a time and mebbe discovery of ^not fit for purpose^ upon d door opens! Been there/done that.

No, wat i am saying is...one goes to a lot of d type of places about which u r writing ( generically speaking not specifically), and one has not tis problem.

All i am saying is if i, as a foreigner ( ergo, i most countries disadvantaged vs locals), why are locals saying they hv such issues.??

As in being unable to just say no and/or getting milked like a Friesen cattle?

You not bored having same meat for 6 years? Definitely like to know who this ML is that can charm and milk you for 6 years.

For her to ask for 150, she is treating you as a carrot customer.

In the 6 years, what ROI you get?

My humble advice to brother here.

1) DO NOT think with your small head, you can ALWAYS reject.
2) DO NOT go with the mentality that you are going to fuck the lady/have special no matter the cost, you already lost half the battle if you think that way.
3) Don't be naïve, if you think by tipping well, you'll get "exclusive" treatment from her. Whatever service/attitude the ML can provide you, most likely they have done it with someone else too.
4) Let the ML know that you visit other MP or even tried out her colleague too, let her know that she has competition.
5) These are just commercial transaction, DON'T BE NAIVE to think that you are yan dao or special, is your wallet that they are attracted too.

I have been visiting local Spa, MP, TCM scene for as long as the past 6 years. Have seen massage prices from $45 per hour increase to $55 per hour, then increase to $68 per hour recently. I am talking about the basic normal body massage now most places are already charging $68.


Worst still, many of this so called SPAs have introduced the bullshit Hot Oil massage/ Bubble massage (whatever they called it) which cost $89 or $99 to massage your butt or lower part of your body, then the ML can offer HJ to you. That being said, even if the ML offers HJ to you, they still charge you 2 blues for a simple HJ with autoroam, and they said this is the standard market price for all Spas. I wondered which idiots set this price.

My last straw is on a fateful day 2 months ago in May. I have been following this regular ML of mine from day 1 she started working in SG. She a PRC who came to Singapore 6 years ago when she was 25. She have hopped around many shops from the $45 per hour till the $89 per hour shop she is in now. So this fateful day in May I visited her, as usual i took up the $89 package as this is the shop policy and after finishing the SOP, I took out 2 blues from my wallet and prepare to tip her, this is when she told me now every ML in the same shop have set the market price to $150 so you have to tip me $150 from now onwards. I lan lan took out another $50 and passed it to her.

6 years of supporting her and yet this is what she did to me. How much money I have spent on her during these period of 6 years. Told my friend about it and he laughed and jio me to venture the Spas in JB with him. I was much happier, the MLs in JB can really play and less money minded. More Nationalities to choose from, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesians. 1 hour of aromatherapy body oil massage cost only RM75, The tips for the MLs for HJ with autoroam depending on chemistry is a mere RM50. The total damage adds up is just RM125. RM125 is equivalent to SGD$36 based on the latest currency conversion. I can get the same thing for SGD$36 in JB compared to the SGD$239 ($89+$150tips) I get in Singapore.

In conclusion, that sums up my thoughts of the worrying local Spa scene currently. I hope the MLs in Singapore can wake up their bloody idea. Bros, thank you for reading, whether you agree with me or not, you can add in your inputs and thoughts below.

Wow 6 years of 'relation'sgip down into drain, perhaps you may know by now its never a 'relationship'.
Meaning you've been her regular for years paying 2B for HJ, can tell shes really worth that or youre really into her. No judgement but similar to many bros said, for only HJ i wont pay more than 1B and another 1B for entry. But yes the entry may varies 50-60 depends on your own preference of accesible/location, shop condition and other facilities etc.. and most importantly if the MLs offer good massage.
Even for ridiculous market rate nowadays i believe we can still find 2B-3B for very happy and super happy services. Yes JB is definitely one of the great option but im sure cheongster like yourself understand very well the difference of most aspects

If just want happy... go to the wellness chains? 105 all in. :D:D Not the cheapest but not the most expensive.

Was about to say this. I only go to all those alphabet wellness. 105 is considered cheap because they will actually massage you properly before the hj. If feeling rich can still tip 30. Only downside is sometimes when she touch you till the fire is lit you cannot put it out by sticking your stick in to the honey pot.

Brother, I feel your disappointment and frustration. I gave my support to one ML back when she started working here post COVID, always gave her the same amount when we did stuff, She'd be like "we're friends,no need to be so calculative".

I did tell her to let me know if I'm not tipping enough, mind you I'm not shortchanging her - 2B minimum, and if I feeling generous because of a great session, I add one or 2R. This is on top of entrance.

Fast forward to her jumping a few places, to the current one. I visited her, and the exact thing happened to you happened to me. Took out 2B, then she gave me this outraged face like "what?? It's 3B!" I was stunned, so I said "I thought last time is 2B?"

Her reply made me leave and never come back: "last time is last time. Now is different". Wow 5 years of friendship, and this is the type of attitude that was shown.

Moral of the story - no matter how they behave or treat you, ML will not become friends. They are only in it to make as much money as they can, as quickly as possible. I know there are exceptions, but they are rare.

Excuse my rant; your post brought up many memories for me.

I remember seeing somewhere in the forum.. a great pragmatic quote... something like " whore are for fucking.. done ur deed and leave." Something along this line..

The relationship is in the first place transactional and based on money. shdnt have any hope that it is anything else. Imagine ur long term ML have 2 request from customer from same time slot. the other customer is usually paying more like 1B more. who do u think she will turn down? Straight forward right?

Hope u r able to find your peace :) cheers

well we have to face the reality of price going up but i believe those that gave cut throat pricing will face problems in the future. less customer flow and danger of getting complains. i know some chongsters do not want trouble but to be honest, some customer will send an email to complain.

those shops really got checked more frequently and closed.

usually for me i checked pricing before going in. $55 entrance i will give 60 - 70 extra to ML. keep it within 120. for city areas those really chio ones only go for Fj which comes to around 150-200 + entrance.

So i can only say those newbies who don't know these got cut in their wallets paying more. cause we know we can get Dome 3 ladies with the above higher price

What I learnt over the years is entry prices can't really help unless like OWO. Extras prices is really up to the girl. If you long term regular with her, and she so hung on the increase...that's a sign to give up la. Actually not even an increase, if she always want more from you even if 1R/2R...give up and change. Remember you are just one guy to her, she confirm got many other guys so think with your big head.

Real kind of so called good relationship usually won't ask from you more, still same service. Even if move, can charge you the same because reality is how her colleague know? I can only think of is the boss take a percentage of the service then maybe she lose out. But then again, if she tell the boss you only take a lower service, what can she do.

Anyway the real ones, some time give you extra for free, or meet you outside do the deed etc. I had a few before, will want to meet outside or give extra for free because they want it. So I plead if you got regular go to, at least get some actual benefit out of them, not listen to their sweet words. Remember, you are just one of the fish in the sea for them.

Anyway it is not fair to compare ringgit Vs SGD, 10rm is enough for more than a proper meal in Msia but, but U cant even get the cheapest sandwich in local 7-11 with that. Of coz if U have the time, going to Msia to enjoy would be the best. My limit for sg scene is 2B tip unless it goes beyond hj/roaming.

Well said bro.
Can't really compare using RM. Here Cai Fan $4 we said expensive liao. In msia cai fan RM10 is also super ex, just that sgd is strong and it work out become sgd2.9. Sure worth it.

In jb there are also wl who ask for RM200 to RM300 for fj de. Just that jb has competition as well so many actually just take what is "market rate". In Vietnam, some wl also expecting USD50 for hj.

There was once I frequent a jq lady almost very other month, so far we did fj a couple of time, no asking tip. I merely pay the usual price for massage and jg fees.

My suggestion to TS is, just move on, there are many places we can go, but offcourse sometime nice ones are rare where we would like to return.
For me, if merely hj+roam, max I budget 1b+2r. Same like u unless is more than mere hj. There are many wl asking 1b2r for hj only but there are still some who just ask 1b for hj+roam. Not sure if they ask for more now as I did not visit them for more than 1yr. Because plus the stupid ent of 88 or 89, tip another 1b is like 140 liao. Where 3b can gt fj at few many places. So I rather go for that additional 1r instead.

I agree with one bro here... They can charge that amount and i can choose not to pay also no matter how clean the massage joint can be or how skillful the ML is. Some bros dont have the luxury of going JB. Personally i havnt got a chance to go JB and try the scene there too and i believe there are definitely better places in JB at a more reasonable price. I guess its about demand and supply.. The 88 joints are florishing because there are people who are willing to pay. I think the 88 joints also know that men in sg is living a stressful life and need constant release that why the boss and ML laff their way to the bank..😃

Actually still have pretty ML giving good massage at good prices. Like St☆r of Queensway area available for $55 + $50+$30. The last +$30 part can skip because she doesn't have much boobs to roam also. Massage skills 7/10.

But no advertisement done on social media and shop is ulu until few people know it exists. Business is poor until she is sleeping in the same at 8 pm. If you know where, go support her. Not interested in promoting her business so please don't pm me. Just making a point that reasonable prices are still available if you look around

My humble advice to brother here.

1) DO NOT think with your small head, you can ALWAYS reject.
2) DO NOT go with the mentality that you are going to fuck the lady/have special no matter the cost, you already lost half the battle if you think that way.
3) Don't be naïve, if you think by tipping well, you'll get "exclusive" treatment from her. Whatever service/attitude the ML can provide you, most likely they have done it with someone else too.
4) Let the ML know that you visit other MP or even tried out her colleague too, let her know that she has competition.
5) These are just commercial transaction, DON'T BE NAIVE to think that you are yan dao or special, is your wallet that they are attracted too.

Was about to say this. I only go to all those alphabet wellness. 105 is considered cheap because they will actually massage you properly before the hj. If feeling rich can still tip 30.

Been there/done that.

No, wat i am saying is...one goes to a lot of d type of places about which u r writing ( generically speaking not specifically), and one has not tis problem.

All i am saying is if i, as a foreigner ( ergo, i most countries disadvantaged vs locals), why are locals saying they hv such issues.??

As in being unable to just say no and/or getting milked like a Friesen cattle?

When these 大洗盘 happens it would also meant that rare and hard to find good ML again and soon.. ppl will start keeping for themselves then those sohai will try to "outwin" thus increasing tip/norms then the cycle repeats.

Its all part of the game.

I think the thing that kill the scene most is the shop entrance fee. Nowadays they want charge u 60 plus and above for one hour of massage. And we all know we are not there for the massage also. So adding up the entrance fee and the special can easily cost u 100 plus to 200 for just a hj. Even those tcm shop with curtain, some of their entrance fee also will cost u more then 50 already. Things are definitely getting sky rocket high these days.

Well quite normal for price to increase in Singapore. Not just services, just in general. And also the business owners generally quite greedy not always the fault of the ML but it is what it is.

Although I feel like your regular ML treated you damn badly, really just treat you like a carrot head.

The services being cheaper overseas is quite normal also. Only issue for some people is whether they can spare the time to travel or even allowed to travel since some with wives/girlfriends.

So I think that there will always be a demand for the services here even if the prices do go up.

Spoken to a young viet ML before and she told me that a lot of the customers that are tipping above average are those old uncles or retirees with a lot of money on hand. They have a lot of free time and often visit at non-peak period to try all the Ang pai/syt ML in the spa.

They tend to pay the cheapest entry so they are able to give more tips. The counter usually also won’t hardsell them because of non-peak hours (e.g 9am).

But because of the additional tips, it will cause a snowball effect. Making ML think that we are willing to pay such high prices.

The $68 entrance fee paid by customers goes entirely to the owner, not the massage ladies (MLs). This fee is a significant source of income for the boss. The MLs themselves are primarily dependent on tips, which explains their efforts to encourage higher tips from customers. I have close relationships with a few MLs, and some, particularly young and attractive Vietnamese women who are new to the business, are willing to accept as little as $30 for a handjob (HJ). In contrast, Ah tiong MLs tend to be more street smart and savvy in their dealings.
My regular ML informed me that on a slow day, she might only see 3-4 customers.

Let's consider a worst-case scenario: if an ML serves 4 customers, each paying the $68 entrance fee, that totals $272 ($68 x 4). If there are 6 MLs in the shop, the daily gross revenue from entrance fees alone would be approximately $1,632 ($272 x 6). Over a month, this projects to a gross revenue of around $48,960 ($1,632 x 30 days). Even after deducting expenses like rent, utilities (water and electricity), and supplies such as baby oil and showering liquid, the owner can still expect to generate a substantial five-figure profit, likely $20,000 or more per month.

That is what consumers are paying for.

I think it depends on different bosses ba. I also heard from some of the ML, that they will also draw a certain amount from the entrance, that's why they ask u for a top-up from 68 to 88 or 108.

Spoken to a young viet ML before and she told me that a lot of the customers that are tipping above average are those old uncles or retirees with a lot of money on hand. They have a lot of free time and often visit at non-peak period to try all the Ang pai/syt ML in the spa.

They tend to pay the cheapest entry so they are able to give more tips. The counter usually also won’t hardsell them because of non-peak hours (e.g 9am).

But because of the additional tips, it will cause a snowball effect. Making ML think that we are willing to pay such high prices.

Lol i heard same story from a viet ML from a shop along Balestier rd. She told me there is this old uncle who comes every week, every time he will tip $200 with minimal services required. Sometimes he also called 2 3 girls to the room and tipped them one by one haha. I take it with a pinch of salt but u never know there such uncle dun how to spend monthly cpf money.

Previously I got a regular ML, she mentioned to me that they all have a monthly quota they need to hit otherwise will have penalty. So that might be the reason they want to upsell more expensive package.

But thats their business, no reason for us to pay more for entrance unless you are also looking for longer massage.

My regular in the end ask me to take up 2 hour package and foc HJ cause business really too poor (one reason might be due to her not syt and not ang pai). So we have to stay strong and not let our small head take over. Any shop entrance more than 70 i straight ignore even if other ppl say the ML until heaven, there's always other fishes in the ocean.

Haha 😂 I heard such stories too! My regular ML told me a senior Ah peh in his sixties, who visits at least once every week and reportedly gives $200 for a HJ.(Shes from CAT 1 MP) He also apparently tried to "unlock" her by inviting her to a hotel for a massage, which she politely declined. The girls apparently refers to him as "老头子”

This senior man’s ego probably believe money is the only way to gain favor with the women, as a smaller payment $30-$50 wouldn't make him as "popular”

There are also other wealthy clients that will buy house (pay for several hours example:5 hours at $68/hour, totaling $340) just to take a ML out for a meal, and then pay extra to "unlock" them.

The ones who suffer the most are "average Joes" like myself, who can't afford such high prices and therefore "lose out on many opportunities”

"CASH is really king."

That is why I always call out not to support greedy owner ! go support the 50-55 + 50 type of spa ! The 68 and above type is the greedy owner who wins it all !

6 years of supporting her and yet this is what she did to me. How much money I have spent on her during these period of 6 years. Told my friend about it and he laughed and jio me to venture the Spas in JB with him. I was much happier, the MLs in JB can really play and less money minded. More Nationalities to choose from, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesians. 1 hour of aromatherapy body oil massage cost only RM75, The tips for the MLs for HJ with autoroam depending on chemistry is a mere RM50. The total damage adds up is just RM125. RM125 is equivalent to SGD$36 based on the latest currency conversion. I can get the same thing for SGD$36 in JB compared to the SGD$239 ($89+$150tips) I get in Singapore.

In conclusion, that sums up my thoughts of the worrying local Spa scene currently. I hope the MLs in Singapore can wake up their bloody idea. Bros, thank you for reading, whether you agree with me or not, you can add in your inputs and thoughts below.

that's why i only go JB for massage.

that's why i only do these activities in JB.

Even under now weaker exchange rate still under $60 SGD.
i can get 90 mins proper thai massage + Hj + full roam.
