Massage In Malaysia- Fun And Precaution

[Guest Massage Nuts]

With precaution ,like in any other countries ,in particular developing countries, massage experience can be really pleasurable. The least one expects after a pleasurable massage is to get ripped off !

It is useful to know (particularly those newbie to Malaysia) that there were some very recent reports of nasty experiences where money were stolen off your wallet during your massage session ! This happens when you are asked to leave your clothing in a small closet in your personal massage room. Sound safe right? NO !

It is believed that some of these places have secret window behind the closet to work through your wallets while you enjoy your massage ! Watch out for those 'runner' on the streets offering massage services for a song. The catch is , nothing is free. However, it does not cost you an arm or leg to enjoy a massage in Malaysia.

Established outlets in reputable shopping complex like Sunway Pyramid, Berjaya Time Square, Megamall , Starthill, in Kuala Lumpur , or Queensbay Mall and Gurney Plaza in Penang are safe bet. Smaller one along Bukit Bintang are reported to be ok.

Most established massage outlets in Malaysia have a fixed price for the various spa or massage packages offered. In the absence of one, it never hurts and neither rude to ask for the price list prior to the massage session.

To find out where the outlets are in Malaysia, www.1massagemalaysia.com has a good selection. From the last count , they have over 200 outlets listed there, covering boutique spa, slimming spa , traditional massage, Thai Massage and outcall massage to cater to the budget conscious as well as those with deep pockets !

A simple massage cost as low as RM 70 / hour . Spa Packages in boutique spa outlets ranges between RM 100 to as much as RM 800 ( about USD 30- USD 250 . USD 1= RM 3.2) . But bear in mind, you gonna get back the value of every penny you spent.

Have fun folks!

[Guest KL police raids?]

Hi all,

I would like to know if it's safe to visit massage parlours in KL now. I am not sure if KL police have regular raids and where these raids are conducted. Which are the ones that are immune to these raids?

Anyone can share what you know?

Thanks.

Those that get raided are normally the lower end outlets located at shop houses etc. Those located in let say , 3 star hotel or above are relatively safer although the services are the same. Good luck

You may want to check out the listing at www.1massagemalaysia.com . The boutique spa are obviously safe but you know, you need to have deep pockets but you get what you pay , you see.

You can check out the outlets listed under the Health Centers category , Thai Massage or Traditional massage.These cost as low as RM 70 /hr.

If you are into Thai massage, the Thai Massage outlets listed there are safe. Never heard of any raids at any one of the outlets there.
