How to get a Jomtien Masseuse to your Condo for Less

Hello, I'd love to get a REGULAR non-naughty oil massage by trained talent for 2 hours in my condo in Jomtien (near Dongtan police box on the beach) for maximally 400 THB per hour. There are many massage shops almost next door, but while on the premises they ask 300 THB per hour, they demand 500 THB for massage in my condo – and they demand 1000 for 2 hours in my condo! No discount.

I need this massage only around 1 or 2 pm, in the hot hours, when massage shops aren't that busy and chock-full of idling talent. Occasionally I talked a manager down to 800 for 2 hours in my condo, but when I actually needed the service, they did ignore my messages or talked themselves out of it. (I believe I am polite, non-smelling, Thai-speaking, not looking like a menace.)

There are outcall massage phone numbers for a rub at home, but they are very expensive. Thai ladies on Thaifriendly offer massage at home, and I may accept that after vetting by video call. But I find them very difficult to track down and to arrive at the time I want, at least in Jomtien at noon (ymmv).

Hanky pank: I want ONLY a regular oil massage in the bright quiet cool of the condo (and not in a chicken shack massage store with broken shower), only starting around 1 pm. I like a masseuse chatty in the first 15 minutes, then rather quiet (she may calmly sing). If the masseuse then offers extras, I might consider (hopefully she isn't pushy). I am aware of the potential mess of an oil massage.

Any tip? Thanks!

You want convenience and home service it will be extra..... unless you strike up a friendship with one who you like the service of in her shop, and see if you can get her to visit after work. I suspect she will not be keen unless you make it worth her while.

You could give your favorite girl your LINE ID or ask her for her LINE ID.

Don't expect a discount from the boss. Talk privately and in secret with an individual person.

Hi all, thanks for your suggestions!

 

I had indeed offers already of massage ladies to visit me after business hours, say starting from 11 p.m., for the same price as in the shop, including the oil. But with a half-ok massage at 11 p.m. and in my home, i'd immediately fall asleep - no good. That time of day is better for live music (the kind that doesn't send me to lala land).

Sure, but what do they believe? If you have been here a while this should be very easy to accomplish... As Celsius says, don't book through a shop. If there is someone who likes you, they might circumvent the shop, but many are loyal to the shop, a quality that many seem to appreciate when in their favor.

The increased price might be down to you wanting the masseuse to cart around a karaoke machine with her....

For all the people saying cheap charlie - if the condo is next to the shop (no significant transportation time or cost), there really is no need to charge 1000 baht instead of the regular 600. That's a huge markup for no real reason. If there are tranportation costs sure charge 100-200 more but not 400. But yes- the obvious solution would be to find someone private willing to do massage at home for that rate. I wouldn't bother with the shop employees as they cannot leave the shop during business hours - you want a freelancer massage girl (that isn't looking for extras).

I do not think you should ask for this service at the shop. You are litterally stealing the workforce from the owner and it is probably something that is frowned upon....hence no interest from the staff.

Well all the shop-managers readily quote "500 Baht" for 1 hour of oil massage outside service, it seems a well-established standard price they are willing to offer, just as the 300 Baht for incoming customers. (Last checked Feb 24.)

They can leave very well for 500 THB/hour, they even have little plastic baskets to bring their equipment. And the freelancers i found utterly unreliable and sometimes there were language problems. Also i'd generelly trust them a little less than a masseuse that is connected to a shop.

So you've already got it sorted and know how it works for 500 baht per hour in your condo. But you want it for 400 baht per hour. Are you just negotiating for the sake of it or is that 100 baht really going to kill your budget?

 

I'm thinking being that tight over 100 baht you probably leave a very small tip (if any), so girls wouldn't want to come back for repeat business anyway?
