Hey bro's I'm looking for some help.

I am travelling through HK on a business trip soon with a straight laced colleague.  We are catching up with a supplier in TST during our brief stopover and I was hoping to find a place where we could get a good veggie massage for him and a good veggie massage with a tug for me.  Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.  

send a PM to twiceAweek. he is the guru for massages in HK

  That is so funny.  I had actually written out a PM to twice then thought that I should post this on Q&A.  This feels like a circular argument.  Hopefully Twice will respond anyway!

don't have time right now ... will advise you tonight

No problems Twice.  Look forward to your thoughts!

he responded all right!

i wonder if i should neg twice for a one-liner......

OK wacko ... there is a problem with what you want ...

Having fun and having a great massage don't go hand in hand ... 99% of the time in HK !

When you say you want a veggie massage with a tug I believe you mean you want a good
massage with a happy ending ? I also need to know how often you and your friend goes for
massages (anywhere). I ask this simply because your definition of a good massage might
be different then mine. I know of many bros who's been to FS saunas who's said they got
good massages when I know it can't be the case ... it was simply because they aren't
experienced with getting massages.

Back to your question ... for a good massage you need to go to a veggie sauna but its unlikely
you'll get a HE there the first time you go - very unlikely !  In veggie saunas you need to build
a relationship with the girl before anything may happen, the most you'll get MAY be just some
'unintentional' touching.

Sands Sauna have some girls (actually old women) who does massage only but from what I hear
their massage is not that good. You can go there and arrange for your friend to get massage only
while you get one of the FS girls. Important thing to remember is you must get separate
rooms for you and your friend !!!  

Alternatively, you can go to GFS where the standard of massage is a bit higher then most
non veggie places. But things needs to arranged for you and your friend before you go.

If you opt for a veggie sauna let me know and I'll give you advise on which ones to go to.
If you opt for GFS let me know and I will need to make arrangements for you.
If you opt for Sands, PM bro Payload and he should be able to help but he's not here
in this forum most of the time.

1) Are these masseuse licensed or certified by the government? In the US, one has to have enough hands on hours and pass the state exam to be certified/licensed.

2) Where in HK/Macau do you get the best massage?

3) Do they offer different massages such as Swedish, deep tissue, Shiatsu, sport massage, etc?

4) Do they have the hot stone treatment?

5) How much do they cost per hour?

1. Yes, girls working in real saunas needs th be registered in HK. No, they don't need qualifications

2. Subjective ... how can I answer this properly ?

3. Almost all gives a HK massage in HK - similar to deep tissue, some do thai massage

4. No, not in HK unless you go to some spas

5. Different saunas very different prices ... also different price for first hour then for
    subsequent hours, also different prices for different times of the day,
    also, in any veggie sauna you are expected to tip per session which you don't in FS saunas ...
    too many variations for me to answer properly !
    Overall, the cost of going to a veggie sauna can be more then going to a FS sauna ... depending on where you go of course

Thanks for your input Twice.  I need to make sure this answer extends past one line otherwise I will be flamed.  I think that I am getting cold feet on trying to attempt a rub and tug when my colleague just gets a rub at the same time.  It looks like this would be fraught with danger and the fall out could be too great.  I think I might have to wait until we get to Germany where I will have some more space to move without any detection.  Having said that we might find ourselves with some time to spare in HK and wouldn't mind getting a good massage to ready ourselves for the remainder of our flight.  So I will go with your first option.  Could you please PM me some good veggie massage sites in TST?

Cheers.

I hardly think you'll get flamed in your own thread !!!   

TST has only one real veggie sauna ... Daily (or Tin Tin) Sauna
you'll get decent massages there but the women there are old and the facilities also pretty old.

There are many good veggie massage places on HK side though ...

Sauna Lotto in Wanchai - O'Briane Rd
Oriental Palm Spring in Wanchai - Gloucester Road
Windsor Spa near Fortress MTR station

All 3 saunas have discounted price if you go before 2 PM or after 11 PM - about HK$450 for 2 sessions
and you are expected to tip $100 per session if you feel you got a good massage.
Best facilities is in Windsor.

If you want to go to any of these 3 saunas let me know which one and I'll tell you which girls to look for !

Thanks for the info Twice.  Based on what you've said I think the sauna in Windsor sounds the best.  We will probably be passing through after 2pm and definitely b4 11pm otherwise we'll miss our flight.  Could you pass on the address for me?  That would be great.

Sorry about the cheap comment regarding flaming but I sense an angry mob mentality gathering here and I don't necessarily agree on the strategy.  But that's only me.

I would pay no more than HK$450 for an hour of professional massage in HK/Macau. The spas at the hotel probably charges premium for it because they can and people will still pay for it.

On the other hand, I have been paying about US$35 or HK$273 for student massage in the US. I have to say that is the best buck for the most bang =)

There is no 'angry mob menatlity' ... just bros who wants to get things off their chest and blow some hot air

if you go to windsor (250 Kings road, 3/F Fortress Tower - MTR Fortress station exit B)
during normal hours the cost should be about $550 for 2 sessions (1.5 hours) plus tip
Give me a shout and I'll PM you the girls # when you get here ...

reading this thread just shows how much in the know these bros are.

twiceAweek has this down to an art form!

Oriental Palm spring has a branch in TST near Jordan on Parkes Street, I had a very good massage there! I got the 90 minute massage for about 750...also got a dinner out of it too

could you please pm me the # of the girls you recommend at windsor spa? thank you so much

Twice, can you recommend a RnT place near mong kok with some younger girls, like in their 20's?  I will probably try gfs but after reading a few reviews doesn't seem like the girls are that attractive esp compared to the receptionists.   Thanks in advance
for any advice or recommendations!

Oh I'm used to getting a massage once a week so I would like to get a semi decent massage if possible even tho you have already mentioned
that it's usually one or the other and I can't have both...
