This interview with a Thai soapy massage worker is long overdue. As previously reported on this website soapy massage parlors are a big part of the commercial sex industry in Thailand. They are perhaps most frequently visited by locals with money and Asian businessmen while oily massage parlors and go go bars seem to be more popular for Westerners.
Interviews with prominent people in the sex industry such as porn stars and producers have waned in recent years. Some have even been taken down by request after the people being interviewed had changes of heart or came to regret whatever they said.
I continue to publish these question and answer sessions as I feel they are an important aspect of covering the commercial sex industry though today I focus more on anonymous interviews with sex workers directly engaged with customers such as blowjob bar workers. I am still open to interview porn stars and other visible people in the industry though if the opportunity presents itself.
This interview does not appear in my “Sex Talk” book series but most of the others mentioned above do. The book compile the best of the interviews published here since 2012 in one easy to read collection.
How old are you and where are you from?
I’m 26. I am from Sisaket.
There seem to be a lot of women working in the Thai soapy massages who aren’t actually Thai. You’re Thai right?
Yes I am Thai. But my mom is Khmer. Sisaket has many Khmer people. I cannot speak Khmer. My mom speaks Khmer.
How long have you been working here?
Almost one year.
Where did you work before this?
I worked at a small bar in Bangkok. At that time I worked at 7 Eleven too.
That sounds like a lot of work. How did you do it all?
I worked at 7 Eleven in the day. At night I worked in the bar. Then they let me sleep in the bar.
Did you make a lot of money?
Not much. I make more money here.
What kind of bar was it?
At that bar they usually have sex or do blowjobs. I only went out with customers one or two times. It was my first work like this so I was scared. We did drink alcohol too.
How did you get into this kind of work?
My auntie. She called my mom and asked about me. My mom needs money. I love my mom. I love my family. I have to take care of them.
Does your mom work?
What? My mom is old. I have to take care of her and my brother. I am the daughter. I love my family so much. I want them to be happy.
Okay. So you send most of your money home?
I send all of my money to my mom. I keep some for my room and my makeup only. I buy makeup and contacts and make my hair up. If I do not look beautiful I can’t get any customers.
Do you make more money here than you did at your previous job?
Yes of course. I make a lot more money here.
How much do you make?
I can make about 1000 Baht ($32 USD) from each customer. Some customers tip. Sometimes I go outside to meet customers. In one month I can get about 60,000 Baht ($1921 USD).
So you don’t have to work at 7 Eleven anymore.
Yes. That’s right. Haha.
How many customers do you get each day?
It is never the same. Some days I don’t get any customers. Some days I get two or three customers. One day I got seven customers.
How was that? It sounds like it could be difficult.
It was good. I got a lot of money that day. I sent the money to my mom the next day. She was so happy.
Is it difficult to have sex with that many guys in one day?
No. I use KY.
Does the sex with customers feel good?
What? I don’t think about this. This is my work. I just make money for my family.
Where do most of your customers come from?
Here there are many foreigners. I have customers from Europe, Germany, France and Arab.
What do you with the customers?
Hey you already know. We take a bath then we make love.
Do you like your job? How long do you think you will work here?
It is okay. I like to help my family. I will build a house for my family and pay for my brother’s school. If I get married someday I might stop work. But one guy loves me now. He told me he will marry me but he won’t make me stop work.
Will you marry him?
Yes I want to. I told him to go meet my family. I am waiting for him now.
I hope everything works out for you.
Yes. Thank you.
It sounds like she used to work at a BJ bar or something similar. Did she tell you the name of her old bar? It might serve as a good lead for your next BJ bar review.
Thanks for the comment. I’ve already reviewed both her past and present places of employment. Cheers.
