Re: Bangkok Field Report
**** NEW PETCHABURI ROAD - near Sukhumvit Soi 3 ****
The first 5 places are near the Sukhumvit Soi 3 junction (Mit Saphan) with New Petchaburi Road, but on the other side of the road starting from the Prince Hotel near the Makassan Road intersection.
Plaza is an entertainment complex that is located (back entrance) at the soi that leads to the Prince Hotel on New Petchaburi Road, across from the Soi 3 (Soi Nana). The main entrance is at the L-bend on Makassan Road. Within the Plaza there are 3 places (Cupidy, Sherbert and Delia) that offer girls sitting in fishbowls and/or sideline girls sitting in a lounge.

Cupid’s Massage (Cupidy)
Cupid’s (Cupidy) is located on the ground floor of the Plaza, you will directly pass the entrance to Cupidy if you enter via the Petchaburi back entrance to Plaza. There is usually a portable neon sign on Petchaburi road advertising this place.
Comments: A largish bowl with 50 or more girls, the price being 1,900 baht (Dec 1999). The price in March 2000, was 1,500 and 1,700 baht for massage girls, and 500 baht for girls in the traditional massage section. Similar to its neighbours Vilunda and Atami you probably should avoid coming here with a taxi or tuk-tuk driver. The staff here are quite aggressive to the point of being somewhat obnoxious.
Cupid’s Massage (Cupidy) Experiences:
Got to be one of the best selection of massage girls in Bangkok. Shame the staff up front are not a match for the talent in the fishbowl. Mike - San Francisco
Took 2 new friends to Cupidy yest. As we approached the place we discussed the merits of visiting the other 2 Soapy's inside Plaza Entertainment. They were all for it. However after about 5 mins inside Cupidy all those plans were forgotten - especially since these 2 mongers like to squeeze the most possible fun from every stang. I was disappointed at the number of girls on offer. We hit it at what used to be the prime moment 6:15 pm. There were about 10-12 girls in the fish bowl & about 20 sideliners. We had a good look up close & personal. I was totally falling in love when some German grabbed the object of my affection. Number 435 I think she was. I told the boys that if they could wait 2 hours she would be back sitting in the same place. By the time they had made their selection we counted about 10 girls sitting in the fish tank applying make-up (late comers). Tiger said that prime time is now closer to 8 pm but I tell you those young tourists were cutting heifers out of the herd rapidly.
Yes Posiedon has the name but value for money Cupidy is a 4 star place with loads of nice looking mid 20's cuties to while away 2 hours. According to Tiger 1800 for fish bowl & 2200 for sideliners gets you 2 hours in the room.
Cupidy Plaza is very convenient near the corner of Soi 3 & Petchburi Rd. Biggest knocking shop I have ever seen.
I've been to Cupidy my first trip lovely girl good time, but I was taken for the only newbie ride. Annies just doesn't compare to them, but Ive had more fun at annies, the girls don't come near to cupidy but great fun factor. i'm a fan.
Sherbert Massage
Sherbert is on the 2nd floor of Plaza and is advertised as a kararoke place, if you enter Plaza via the main entrance you will enter into this place.
Comments: At Sherbert you will find a mid-size fishbowl with about 30-40 massage girls, cost 1,900 baht for massage girls and 2,000 baht for body massage girls. There is also a lounge area near the entrance with sideline girls, cost 2,700 baht. Unlike at Cupidy’s the staff here are quite civil. However, there is a surcharge of 1,000-1,500 baht for non East-Asians at Sherbert.
Delia’s Massage
Delia’s is on the 6th floor of Plaza and is a member’s type club, although you don’t need to be member to enter.
Comments: At Delia’s you will find some very attractive sideline girls (supposed ‘models’, students, office workers) sitting in the lounge area, costing 3,500 for locals, Asians and 4,500 baht for non-locals. The staff at Delia’s are very personable.
Embassy Massage
Embassy is on Soi 39, and is part of the better known Embassy Karaoke establishment.
Phone #: 252-0393
Comments: The Turkish Bath and Massage part of Embassy appears new as of 2000. The entrance to the massage parlor is at the end of the soi. The bowl is small with about 15 girls. Cost was 1,200 baht, although after I showed no interest the attendant lowered the price to 1,000 baht. The price in February 2001 was 1,200 baht for girls in the fishbowl and 1,500 baht for the sideline girls in the cafe lounge area.
Vilunda Massage
Vilunda (also known as Angara) is on the soi 41 just before Atami. It appears this place may have changed it’s name to Oscar massage.
Phone #: 251-6222
Comments: The girls here are in 3 sections traditional (500 baht), body and massage (1,500 baht) and superstar (2,000 baht). Similar to Atami, it is also a favoured place by taxi drivers and street touts. In Dec, 1999 the price was 1,500 baht for all girls of the soapy variety. When I was there in August, 2000 the price was 1,500 and 2,000 baht for the massage girls but after showing no interest and was heading towards the door the attendant lowered the price to 1,000 baht for any of the fishbowl girls regardless of star class. In February, 2001 I was quoted 1,500, 2,000 and 2,500 baht but after showing no interest the papasan asked me to name my own price.
Halem Massage
Halem is located on Soi 41, opposite side of the soi to Vilunda (Angara) massage. It is owned by the same group who run the nearby upscale Plaza Entertainment complex.
Phone: 625-7926
Comments: The fishbowl is fairly small (20 girls), the cost being 1,500 baht. Sideline girls sitting in the cafe were available for 2,500 baht.
Atami Massage
Atami is at 1573 New Petchaburi Road (after Soi 41), and quite close to the corner with Nana Soi 3 but on the other side of the road.
Phone #: 252-8907-8
Comments: Atami is a favourite with taxi drivers and touts on the streets and hence the price is variable depending on whether you go by yourself or are taken by a tout and probably your bargaining skills. The girls (~80) are in 4 sections, traditional massage (500 baht), massage only and tora body massage (both 2,000 baht) and superstar massage (2,500) one Monday night in early April 99. A week earlier, the price was 1,500 and 1,700 baht respectively ! In Dec, 1999 the price was 2,000 baht for all girls of the non-traditional massage variety. The last time I was there February, 2001 the massage girls in the fishbowl were 1,500 baht, while sideline girls seated in a lounge area across from the fishbowl were 2,500 baht.
