Sukhumvit Soi 22 alley adventures

Sharing one of my favorite haunts in BKK - relatively affordable bonks at the massage joints compared to other places. Girls may not be the youngest nor slimmest but you get what you pay for. Services so far has been pretty good for me.
Just a little contribution from me to the forum, and would be really happy if some bros could also share their experiences and hidden gems with me! I know this area isn't that unknown for some experienced bros but perhaps some folks might not know about this place.

Pros
- Price! It can be as low as 900 baht for 1 hr massage with HJ, or 1000 baht for 1 hr massage with prostate massage.
Example: https://www.paradisemassagebangkok.com/services-2
Some places have a table with a "glory hole" where there's a hole in the middle of the table for you to put your dick.. and they would be able to massage it easily with you facing down.
- Some of the shops further in provide FJ at 2500 baht for 2 hrs/2 shots, I've not explored all the shops but it does seem like the price varies a bit.
- They accept credit card with 3% surcharge - it's frankly quite reasonable and great for bros who don't carry much cash or ran out of cash while outside, and just wanted a good bonk.
- Location is quite central though not very near a BTS, there are a lot of massage shops along the way to this shop so you can get a nice 300/350 baht foot massage after your bonking session no matter what time of the day.

Cons
- Closes somewhat early at 1am, last call probably 12 mn depending on the shop and you can only get 1 hr session at that time.
- If you go a bit too late (like 11am), you end up with mostly older or chubby girls, and not many options late. However their service is likely going to be quite good as they're happy to get one last customer before closing up for the day.
- Rooms are not the most luxurious compared to those 5000/6000 baht places, but this is good enough for me.


FR
For this trip I tried a new shop further in called Sky Massage.
261/28 Sukhumvit Rd, Khlong Tan, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110, Thailand

Turned out to be one of the better (best?) experience I've had in recent memory but YMMV as it really depends on the girl.

I actually went there 2 times to find the same girl..
Basically you walk in, mamasan would sit you down at a sofa and ask the available girls to sit in front of you. I picked the one that caught my eye - not the most pretty I've seen for sure but she was petite and suited my taste.
Paid 2500 baht for 2 hours, and was led upstairs.

Once in the room, started with a shower. She entered the shower with me and we spent ~10 mins inside. Really felt like GFE as we took turns to shower and fondle each other, while frenching. She even gave me a BBBJ at the tail end of the shower to warm up me somemore.
Sky high GFE continued after the shower as she sat on my lap while continuning to hug/french. After about 10 mins of that, I pulled her onto the bed where we continued with our foreplay - tons of hugging, fingering, frenching etc. Eventually she went on to BBBJ, it was great as she kept looking at me seductively while doing it.
Finally she asked if I was "ready", and the condom went on (kind of thick, might want to bring your own thin ones).
FJ was really sensational, 30-40 mins of hard/soft fucking in a few positions, she was very responsive all the time with cute moans, and I suspected that she came a few times. Eventually fired my 1st shot in missionary, we hugged for a few minutes before I pulled out.
She cleaned me up a bit, went to shower on her own while I laid and rested.
We laid side by side hugging each other, and had some quick conversation before we started frenching again. Her English isn't great but it's enough, I suspect Google Translate might work better but I'm always too lazy to use it.
Progressed onto fingering her, I actually fingered her for like 15-20 mins lol. She really loved it and was guiding my finger to her most sensitive spot.. really felt like a session with my ex.
Made her cum a few times I think. If I didn't stop myself, I think we would have gone on forever here.
Anyway, we then went on to the usual BBBJ then FJ, but I think I was already quite spent and we fucked for about 10 mins before I suggested finishing off with a HJ. Her HJ skills were OK, I had to guide her a little bit on what worked for me but it was all good. She was very hardworking and never complained at all, even when I took 15-20 mins to cum as I became soft a few times (no thanks to the alcohol before that)..
We finished almost at the 2 hr mark, didn't feel any time pressure at all and 2 hours felt like a long (but very, very good time).
She was the last in the shop so she opened the back door for me to go out. I promised to return

And I did return after 2 days.. experience was 80% similar to the above but this time I decided to go down on her. She really loved having her pussy licked and I think she went crazy haha. I'm not skilled nor experienced but could tell she managed to cum a few times as her body quivered..
Also I took really long (like 1 hour?) to cum for my 1st FJ shot and I actually felt bad for her to be honest, I wanted to cum but just couldn't, and we were both getting a little sweaty at some point. However she did her best to make me feel good, and she was worried that I was getting tired as I was pumping her in missionary for 15-20 mins at first. In fact she suggested that we went back to cowgirl so I could rest.. really sweet of her.

Promised to find her when I return to BKK in the future, and I certainly will.
Sorry got carried away writing my little "journal" but hope this post in general helped some bro!

(Her pic isn't too flattering from this angle and lighting but I think she looked quite good to me - just over 30, good figure, most importantly GFE was max)

Even the high class Marriott there also let them colonized already.
I wonder how those cheapskate afford the rooms as prices are not cheap.
Likely some guided tour cheap packages arrangement as they come by the bus load.
I siam the hotel buffet now even though it used to be my favourite.

Re: Sukhumvit Soi 22 alley adventures

On my latest trip, went to Sky Massage almost every night..
each time I take 2 hrs (2500 baht, no problem if you can do > 2 shots but 2 shots was the max I could take).
This is now my favorite joint because prices are reasonable and service is usually good, if not great, BUT the girls may not be lookers if you go too late.

1st bonk, got a nice girl called Nana, from Isaan. Looks quite pretty to me, body shape may not be super slim though. She has a fairly popular tiktok account because she's actually a farmer back in her hometown and films her day-in-a-life videos - she was showing me her tiktok videos where she carried heavy sacks of rice grains. Anyway, very passionate girl who loves frenching a lot and initiates frenching numerous times during sex. I really F-ed her brains out (2 shots) and left very happy. She does go back to her hometown quite often though, so you may not find her there all the time.

2nd bonk, got another girl called June. She actually worked in SG before in various roles such as hotel manager etc, speaks fairly good English (naturally) and even studied in the States. Doing this job to build capital in order to start her own business. Not that young anymore (so may not be everyone's cup of tea) but very fun-loving, and pleasant looking. I wanted to have a nice chat with her to learn about her life but our 1st bonk ended up lasting > 1.5 hours so it was almost times up already if we include shower time. I was pretty spent after that and didn't go for my usual 2nd shot.

The last bonk was with a girl called Mimi I believe, frankly not that pretty and has a slight tummy, but she was really hardworking. I think my dick power was completely spent because I went to a really good massage place in the afternoon and spent 2 shots there.. but wasn't able to cum into this girl even after smashing her for an hour. She wasn't very responsive during FJ but I managed to make her cum and shiver while she was riding me on top, so that was great. I finished my 1st shot with a HJ from her. She then gave me a decent massage and I'm surprised she actually asked if I wanted a 2nd shot, because the 1st shot took so long and I was actually feeling quite bad for her. But I agreed to the 2nd shot.. again she was really hardworking and did not complain at all, even though she HJ me for a good 30 mins.

All in all somehow this shop seems to have girls that provide good service and never ask for tips at all, and do not shortchange you timewise as well. Not the prettiest girls (even a few large ones sometimes that you'll likely reject...) but I've never had a bad experience here yet.

Re: Sukhumvit Soi 22 alley adventures

https://x.com/pinksoda2323/media

bell is back in soda pink

Merlin and aiko here there too, both give great blowjobs and rimjobs

does a rimjob to remember, i told her to gather the good girls for our double rimjob season and i told her to train the new girls up, she does it with thai duty and dedication that is not seen in the younger gen.

its nice to see my balls on her nose but she is a trooper. she darts me non stop and usually with another girl, she is clearly in control and does not stop until i am completely done.

I'm not sure if you know but Sky Massage is the second store opened by Snow White massage.

Re: Sukhumvit Soi 22 alley adventures

Rozé Nuru Massage is a new place on Soi 22 in Bangkok. It opened in September 2025. The lobby is big with high ceilings and shiny lights.

There are pretty, young girls who are nice and smile a lot—about 10 now, but more are coming. You get a shower, then a fun, slippery massage for 40-90 minutes.

It starts at 3,400 baht, but there’s a discount right now that saves 500 baht.

After, you get free food like spring rolls and drinks like whiskey in a cool upstairs room. It’s fancy but chill, great for a fun night.
