patjk Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I'm curious, in different areas of Bangkok, how much the massage places make in income and how much they pay out. At Onnut, they cost 200 baht for 1 hr roughly, and there are like 10+ shops in the area. Each has 5-7 or more people massaging. Anyone know how much 1 massage parlor will make in 1 month? And how much of the 200 baht goes to the employee? I've read a few threads on the forum with people speculating, but does anyone know from experience or by talking to the people? How about the massage places in other parts of Bangkok? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theguyfromanotherforum Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Employees usually get 50% plus tips. As for the rest, there is simply no way of knowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxo1947 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Up in Issan....199 baht for 2 hours Thai at my local.......300 for oil......60/40 split in favour of the girl...................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaiLai Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 As with many things here this simply does not make sense financially. How do they ever re-coup start up costs let alone run a profit?

fey Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) the small ones dont make shat and come and go like the wind depending on who comes into enough money to open the lease and then they leave when broke many of the girls live in the business in small rooms or even in the curtained off areas when the shop closes for the night your question is then why do it if its a sinking endeavor. they dont think in business like westerners do here. its try and if it fails its meant to be, if it succeeds it will anyway.

wump Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I've seen ads for massage positions in Pattaya for 5-6k a month, no mention of any commission apart from tips. They can't get rich from regular massages for 100 Baht an hour, can they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomwct Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Patjk, if your looking for a job as a masseuse, these jobs are reserved for Thai Nationals. I would stick to teaching English with the proper work permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdkane Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I lived next to a very attractive girl who worked at the shop that was raided...she was also a model and actress for print and commercials here in Thailand, and would work "massage" at night...according to her bf, who was a farang, she made about 100,000 a month in tips and salary...I doubted it initially...but he was a young guy, and she took care of him entirely...her plan was to work for five years of so, and purchase a home for her family, and a condo in bkk for herself...

Not at all. Maybe you should check the thai forums where girls are looking for jobs and the MP's post job offers. Starting salaries are 40k and up in proper soapy's. Girls in a Gentlemen-Club makes at least 1,500/night + drinks + tips without shagging anyone. Thats up to them and wont be cheap.

Monkeyrobot Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I was told the employee gets 30 to 40 % commission plus tips. But it depends on how many work there as to how many clients they get a day. In the sukhumvit area the prices are around 300p/h plus 500 for happy ending. Hope you happy with my reply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily exaggerated. I knew one girl who worked in a "massage" shop, and 120,000 per month was a pretty normal month for her. Three clients per day put 3,600 in her pocket, but the tips added up to a large amount. But she was the exception. According to her, the majority of the staff were making between 20k and 50k.

Scouse Twoccer Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I knew a girl who said that the girls get nothing unless ey get extra work or a tip.. That's not unusual in a normal Thai Massage shop, tips only. And there is rarely a shortage of girls wanting to work with that arrangement.

Yup, high demand girls at Massage Parlours make excessive of 100,000 baht per month. If they are a "Model" category girl at a MP, they make at least 2500+ with one customer alone Girls who are good have at least 3-5 customer contacts who provides them with monthly allowance, some even pay for their rent or have a car Gentlemen-Club girls who don't have to sleep with customer easily makes over 40-50,000 if they are a good talker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike324 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I've talked to heathland masseuse before, they say they make around 13-16,000 baht per month...but they are not able to save much money since living in the city is expensive and work hours are very long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
