Thai Leisurely Life (泰悠活) is a Thai themed massage parlor in Taipei. I call it Thai themed rather than a Thai massage parlor because no Thai women work there and as far as I know no genuine Thai massage is offered either. This seems to be a popular model in Taiwan as there are several similar shops including the previously reviewed Thai Happiness nearby.
The Thai Leisurely Life parlor is easy to find. It is located on Minquan East Road which is a main thoroughfare. It has clear signs on the exterior and it stays open well into the night. Since most of the shops around it close earlier the illuminated store front can stand out against the backdrop.
The shop is nice and clean inside. The lobby on the ground floor is open and spacious considering the location and there is a main desk where a cashier sits at all times. While the cashier may only be able to manage a little in the way of English conversation she is perfectly able to point out the price of massages on a printed sheet. As with most massage parlors there are several options available but the most common would probably be a one hour oil massage for 1000 New Taiwan Dollars ($31 USD) which is standard for the area. Two hour oil massages are also available at the discounted rate of 1500 New Taiwan Dollars ($47 USD).
After customers pay the fee for the service of their choosing they take off their shoes and slide on a provided pair of slippers that are quite small. With their tiny indoor footwear adorned they then head up the stairs and into one of several massage rooms that line the hall. The rooms are nice enough. They are of average size and kept clean. Professional massage tables sit in the middle of each room and all the standards like a hook to hang clothes are also there. The doors have small windows in them with one way glass. This seems to be a safety feature more than anything else. The walls around each massage room go all the way up to the ceiling but a lack of music and the way the building was put together mean that customers can sometimes hear noise from other massage rooms especially when a particular customer has a loud voices or laughs a lot.
There are several women working as masseuses at Thai Leisurely Life. They all seem to hail from the Chinese mainland. Most are in their thirties and of average looks. Most are also unable to speak much of any English. It’s clear by their ability to do rub downs that they all either went through some sort of massage training or gained a lot of experience through practical work.
Customers are assigned whichever woman on the roster is next in line though I’m sure repeat clients could request a favorite masseuse by name. Once in the room each customer is given the option of showering in a shower stall down the hall. If they want to take up this offer they must strip down in the massage room then wrap themselves in a provided towel and head down the hall. After they finish and dry off they can head back to the room where they will put on a tiny pair of disposable black paper panties and wait to be rejoined by their masseuse.
Oil massages are pretty much the same everywhere in the world. There is always some variation between individual masseuses but the general process involves the customer laying down and receiving a massage from oil covered hands. If there is anything different at Thai Leisurely Life is would be that things tend a little more toward the healing hands style of massage than a cheap place staffed by underpaid disinterested women working around some tourist trap in Southeast Asia. The women working at this place actually want their clients to feel better when they leave.
People may have various ideas of what being made to feel better requires. In the minds of many people a massage can’t leave a man fully refreshed unless it involves the entire body. Many Chinese masseuses throughout Asia understand this and thus put in the extra to effort to make sure the massage ends happy. The women at Thai Leisurely Life seem to fit into that category.
About half way through oil massage services customers are asked to turn over so that the masseuse can work on the front side of their bodies. It is at or around this point that offers for hand service are usually extended to male clients who seem to be up for it. Those who accept are treated to expert service by experienced fingers and palms. This is followed by a quick clean up and then a more thorough hot towel rub down. After the massage finishes customers can shower again or simply put their clothes back on and head downstairs.
Tips aren’t normally discussed at Thai Leisurely Life. Satisfied customers are free to give their masseuses whatever they think is appropriate after they receive their service but a gift of around 1000 New Taiwanese Dollars seems to be about average and generally goes over very well.
Thai Leisurely Life is a lot like Thai Happiness which I reviewed here several months ago. Both offer nice massages that end on happy notes in the middle of Taiwan’s capital city. Both are clean and staff but cheerful ladies who know how to do a rub down and aim to make their customers feel good. While a person may prefer one shop over the other the objective observer would probably consider them about equal. It is only fair then that Thai Leisurely Life receive the same average two-and-a-half star score as Thai Happiness.

You know I dont think you get enough credit for what you are doing. Thanks to you I’ve got some great places to check out, especially while Im staying in Taiwan.
Thanks for the comment. Cheers.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience. I was there in June 2017 and confirm that nothing has changed. 1000 for a one hour massage is still the going rate. 1500 for 2 hours. A nice ending cost 1000 as well (this did not seem to be negotiable with the girl). I thought the massage was better than OK as I have had much worse in Thailand or Vietnam. The girls there were not really my type but this is a highly subjective opinion so go see for yourself.
Thanks for the detailed report. Cheers.
jus went here while visiting taiwan, total damage 1k +3k for fs after 1.5 hr massage…not bad value although the girl was so so in looks department but dim lighting + not really paying attention to her looks so all was fine…massage was pretty good, girl was chatty n fun, great attitude even though i took longer than expected to finish…all in all, not a bad experience, will prob repeat when the itching becomes real
Thanks for the comment. If they are offering full service that would be much different than what I reported. Cheers.
Awesome. I’ve long had Taipei on my bucket list, ever since working with a Taiwanese gal who was smoking hot.
In my opinion a great massage followed with hand relief is a great way to spend 90 mins. In my experience in Asia, providers sort of accept that release is part of the total relaxation experience. I’ve had women marvel at the mess they had to clean up after I popped, saying “good power” or “now good relax”. To them it’s just part of the ministration.
Thanks for the comment. Cheers.
i think i got fs cuz the girl liked me n was willing since i asked politely but i did go back n see another lady who declined fs and would only do HJ so it definitely depends on gal but if she likes u n is willing then jts definitely possible
Thanks for the comment. Cheers.
As of August 2018, most of the description is valid for this place. Once I entered the premises, there was a sign in the counter with only two options: 2 HR oil massage for NTD$1500 and 2 HR traditional Thai massage for NTD$1000. However the lady in the counter was quick to offer the oil massage which I accepted. I proceeded to remove my shoes and put on the tiny slippers. After a moment the masseuse came down to pick me up and took me upstairs to the first room available. She was wearing a shirt and shorts and her body was slim with an amicable face. I estimate her age maybe in her late 30s or early 40s, I asked with my broken Mandarin where she was from and said from Taiwan.
After arriving in the room, everything proceeded as in the review: the disposable underwear, the shower in the room in the hall, and then the massage started. It was a really decent massage that lasted for a while, and then the warm towel followed. She removed the towels, reduced the brightness of the lights and told me to turn around. Once I turned, she asked me if I wanted a HJ. Before agreeing I asked for the price and she ask me back how much I offer. As two weeks back I had been to the Taizhilian massage, I thought that the same price would be reasonable so I offered $2000 if she removed her shirt. She was quick to accept but before removing her shirt she took a glance outside the window. I don’t know if maybe the masseuses have some limits as to what they offer. Then she proceeded with a very nice HJ using both hands to stimulate all the genital area (balls and stem). After finishing she went to clean up, and when I thought it was done, she continued with the massage on the front side. First she did the head and temples, and then work her way down to the shoulders, arms, and lastly the legs. I was hard again and she asked if I wanted one more HJ for $500 more, which I gladly accepted. As it was the second shot, it took longer and meanwhile she worked her experience hands all around the area. Very satisfying.
After I finished, she cleaned up and ask me if I want to take one more shower which I agreed. When I returned to the room I gave her the agreed amount and she told me her name (Sasa or Shasha, something like that) in case I come back. She even gave me a farewell kiss in the cheek when I left.å
Thanks for the detailed report! Cheers.
Hi, I tried to find the place, but could’t find it(not sure, that google maps show the right place). So can you please give me a hint to find it. A shop beside, nearby etc.? Thank you very much :-)
I published this post almost three years ago so my memory isn’t exactly fresh but I put the address at the end of this post into Google maps and I got this result. Cheers.
Update as of Oct 18. Everything same i went for the 1hr oil one chick really seemed into my love organ so she started carrasing it. This is where its IMPORTANT my fellow english speakers. Idk if its just me. She pulled down my undies started teasing my peepee through my prostate that is every man’s control button lol and then started rubbing me off. I went with it NOT knowing its optional or something. In total I orgasmed thrice in 10mins. She was moaning and couldn’t seem to stop rubbing my penis so i had to stop her lol. She even used google translate to tell me I’m very handsome. They will do everything to get money outta you thats her living afterall. The thing is at the end she wanted a tip and when I said ‘no more money’ using google translate her face switched from jolly to fuck you face. I finished off and went downstairs to make an excuse to go the atm to get some more NTD but this chick legit wanted to follow me there. Lol hookers want their money. Since my flight was in 2 hrs and I had no intention of flippin out and making a scene in a foreign country i gave her 20 SGD(singapore) which is like 400 ntd tip i guess.
So guys, tipping is basically mandatory if you wanna get rubbed off. Be sure to specifically say no if you don’t wanna pay extra.
Thanks for the comment. Cheers.
Lol The same thing happened to me but in bkk. I was told by the chick I could pay the tip by a credit card. But the papasan said later only cash. The chick followed me to get 800 baht.at the atm. She had no change or lied. I didnt gjve her unless I got 200 back and she got her purse gave me the change. Ive been to Taiwan few times but only for hiking and good street food..I should check out this place. ( but I am not so motivated after lots of similar activities in Vietnam which I believe is a best deal for my money’s worth!!!)
are there extra services for women too? or any massage parlours that offers extra services for women in taiwan
I don’t know if this place offers extra to women. Nor do I know of other places in town that do. Cheers.
Nov 2019 and this review and location is still valid!! Easy to locate. Oil massage = ”extra services”. Events followed exactly as described here. The girls want your money, so they’ll behave as if they’re your girlfriend or they are enamored by you or compliment on your great body or your awesome dick. Mine started flirting and leading-on from the get go and it was indication she was ready. Take shower first. Hot towel is the cue before turning over. Communicate and negotiate, she can say no if you don’t have enough cash or limit what she can offer and she “might” ask to see your cash first if she thinks you are lying. Got 2 HJ and she agreed to take off her clothes and also let me finger her. No BJ, no FS, no English (used google translate), very pretty Taiwanese, fake boobs but amazing ones, nice body.
Paid 1300 NTD for massage + 2500 NTD for extras (you can negotiate). This is not a high end spa, don’t expect great ambience, or cleanliness or great service, you’re here for a reason. its a decent place… and oh… massage was decent as well!
Thank you for the up to date detailed report WarmJoe. It is appreciated. Cheers!
Went June 2020 and everything went as reported above. It helps if you speak some Chinese as the ladies don’t really know English. I got the oil massage. Was led upstairs, you can shower if you want. I did, what the hell right? Back massage first. The lady I had was very nice and flirty. She teased my cock while doing my back, so it was obvious early on she was going for extra cash. That was fine with me as I was looking for extra services. When it came time for the front, she was very direct if I wanted a handjob. So no Chinese, no problem. You won’t miss the cue. She didn’t negotiate on prices much. $2000 for HJ with her clothes off. She let me touch and finger her, and while doing that, she asked if I wanted to have sex for an extra $1000. So full service can be had here, but like other commenters said, it probably depends on the ladies and how they feel about you. I’m in good shape and not bad looking so… Many of the ladies live in the building and will offer to “service” you outside of store hours. They probably prefer this as they are technically not supposed to do more than massage and (maybe) HJ. I had a great, though expensive, time.
Thanks for the detailed and up to date report Cowboy. Cheers!
I was there 2 years ago, had a happy ending. It was the first time in my life… I’m probably being paranoid but do you think they have a hidden camera and the videos of their customers are floating somewhere online? Sorry, don’t mean to spook anyone out but I cant seem to shake this thought out of me head. Any advice to this paranoid soul so i can stop thinking about this?? TIA!
Thanks for the comment.
I just came from there today, as described above, almost the same thing happened. I took the 1500ntd package.after the massage ended then the masseuse offered me 1000 for a handjob .. after a whiledia offered me to add 500ntd and he would take off his clothes. so a total of 1500 + 1500. good experience. fair enough at that price. but yes it is true, it all depends on the individual masseuse.
Thanks for the detailed report juki. Cheers!
Visited on a Monday around noon. Very easy to find. As I approached the building which looks identified to google street view, a woman ushered me inside and pointed at a 2 option menu of services. She was friendly and I pointed at the oil massage option for 1500ntd. I don’t speak any mandarin, so my communication options were limited. She guided me to sit down and exchange my shoes for rubber slippers. Afterwards she motioned that she was ready to accept my money and then motioned towards the waiting bench. I was the only one waiting and it didn’t take long before the front desk woman led me upstairs into a small room with a massage table and a shower in the corner. The room was clean and the table had a large sanitary napkin over a towel which filled me with confidence that it was sanitary. I was handed a towel and a small, wrapped, black paper underwear and was instructed to shower. The women left the room and I undressed and rinsed off. The masseuse entered the room while I showed (with the door closed) and began setting up. I put the black panties on and was instructed to lay face down. She put a towel on my back and jumped onto the table where she began working her arms into my back. Afterwards, she removed the towel and began the oil rubdown. As she worked my back, she would run her hands down my butt occasionally. When she moved to my legs, she would occasionally let her fingers run down my crack and brush up against my shaft which was a huge tease and quite the turn on. She instructed me to turn over and while I initially fought a hard on, I got the impression that she welcomed it. She constantly slipped her hands under the black panties briefly as she rubbed my legs and eventually, we got to the point where she lightly rubber my shaft from the outside of the panties. She turned the lights down and asked if I wanted a handjob. I asked how much and she told me 2000ntd. I countered with 1500 and she shook her head and said 2000. So I agreed. She had me slip off the panties and she teased with oil. I asked her to take her clothes off, but she said that would cost 3000. I couldn’t figure out if it was. 3000 total or 3000 extra, so I declined.
She had an ok face and was a little heavier set, but not bad looking. Had she been more fit, it would have been worth it to me to pay for her to remove her clothes. She did however seem open to me caressing her legs and her butt, she also moved my hand up to her breasts. The massage was pretty good, but the handjob was masterful. I shot a load that unexpectantly got on her face and we laughed it off. I got up to rinse off and she let me know that I had little less than half an hour left. I was starting to get hungry, so I politely gestured that I was fine and decided to put my clothes on and paid her the 2000ntd. Since it was my first time, I wasn’t sure if I should tip. She walked me downstairs and waited for me to put my shoes on, but she never pressed me for a tip. Maybe leaving early made her feel that it wasn’t necessary? Overall, I’ll go back if I’m in town. I would have liked to get someone a little more fit and petite, but she gave a wonderful experience nonetheless.
Thank you for the detailed report. It is appreciated! My guess would be that women here consider any payment over the normal cost of service to be a tip. Cheers!
Sitrep-August 2024.
Visited on a Saturday afternoon, place was easy to find from the thread, upon entering the lady with almost no English greeted me and showed me the price list, I asked for an hour service which was $1000.
She led me upstairs to a room where I was joined by the masseuse, she seemed to be in her late 40s, average looking, slightly on the heavier build. She got to work with the standard massage techniques which were pretty average, occasional finger slide on the crack aside, isn’t much to write about, flipped and she massaged a bit more before asking the question, quoted $2000 for a NHJ, I countered with $1500 which she accepted, removed my paper cover and went right at it by using a generous pour of oil, while she was busy pumping the fluids out of my shaft, she let me move my hands on/inside her to my liberty and in a few mins I sprayed and made a bit of a mess, she then asked me to shower again while she cleaned, as there were 15mins left, she did a standard shoulder and neck massage and then set me on my way after a final shower, there in that post-nut clarity moment I thought that while $2500 all up for massage + NHJ is quite the average in Taipei, this would’ve been a bargain if the women were more attractive but as things stand, this is just an alright deal for a standard RnT .
While wearing my shoes downstairs I got to saw a few other ladies working there and none were better than the other so this is as good as it gets I guess.
Thanks for all the comments and reports from earlier; you all are doing a very noble service for all us fellow mongerers.
Thanks for the detailed and up to date report Rider. It is appreciated. Cheers!
Update as of Sep, 2024
(Sorry about my poor English)
Last month I went to Thai Leisurely Life twice, if u choice oil it will be 1600NT for 2 hours, tradition or something like that will be 1400NT (i dont remember it for 1 or 2 hours), and the normal is 1100NT for 1 hour. All of them still have happy ending. The women at here is about 30s 40s, if u want to find a young girl i think this place not for u. The massage with me is about 7/10. HJ still is 1000NT but nothing special.
Today i just find out a place i think if u try it u’ll never comeback Thai Leisurely Life again.
This is address: No. 409號, Linsen N Rd, Zhongshan District, Taipei City, 10451
(Basement B1)
Line: https://line.me/ti/p/EuI0nw7Av0
If u cant find LINE, u can use google map and search this address:
【肯特】台北正妹男士舒壓按摩 (this address not correct but u can have their LINE)
U should contract with them first to ask about prices, service,… (can use English)
It 3500NT for 60 minutes, massage, nudity, and HJ (no BJ but u can have sex and need to deal, i not try yet so dont know about prices)
When you come in, they need to check your LINE. Girls in here is about 20s, young, hot and sexy. One guy recomend me the girl with name is 天羽. When you go in room, u must put the phone in a locker first. Room is clear, not much small, have a bathroom. After 5 minutes take a shower, one girl come in and give give me towel. She look about 24 years old, ~ 165 cm, face 8/10, C cup, have a cute voice.
About massage, i think it just 2/10 but i dont care about that, i come here because nudity. After massage 15 minutes, she started moaning, and kissed all over my back. She told me turn back and she took off her clothes (100% nude). She let me touch her boobs, play with them, suck like kid bla bla… u even can have a nice kiss. She dont rush, just slow down let u enjoy her body. She HJ with low speed and lick my nipple. Being stimulated slowly make me out after 5 minutes. She still let me playing with her boobs while she’s clearning, that really make fell amazing. I go take a shower again, she still there waiting for u. Before go out, she hugged and kissed me to say goodbye. I think 3500NT is well worth it, i’ll come back this place more times.
Once again, sr about English is not well enough to give ur guys a detailed report.
Thanks for the detailed report Tony. Cheers!
