Why didn't you want to book the 2 hour session? 

Is it worth to get the 4 hands session at Prime?

The feeling might be great as one massaging your lower limbs and the other one on the upper body. Or one is licking your nipples and the other one is giving HJ 😆

1000 is ridiculous. would never give that much unless u so much rich. tipping is not really in their culture. Gino even returned my 200 but i gave him the 100 back saying he can buy a drink with it instead. i have only ever given 300 maximum and that's for a 120mins service of which the masseur already has a big commission. too much tips will eventually spoil the market for those who aren't able to give as much. let's keep it that way. 

1000 TWD is about 41 SGD, which is not expensive.

Cannot compare to Thai cost of living, theirs is much lower.

Is the internet at miniinn stable enough for me to do remote work (taking calls) there during the day? It’s my first time going to this type of hotels. Many thanks 🙏🏻

Internet is OK. But when you're video calling, some naked people may appear behind you if you stay in the gay friendly floors 🙃

Nooo are ppl walking around naked ok those floors? 😭 I thought the cruising part is in dorm cubicles or in the toilet?

 

anyway I’m getting my own room so I guess that’s not on the gay friendly floors right? If that’s the case can I still visit the floors that are not my room’s floor? 
 

Tbh I’m excited but nervous at the same time 🤡

Thank you! Just 3 meetings but they’re one hour each. Maybe looking for a cafe during the days is a better option.

I went quite late after visiting NingXia Night Market, around 8plus. It was crowded with young Taiwanese.

Nice. Thinking of doing the same when I go in May. Btw, what's at basement 2?

Yes people walk around naked on these floors. It's not only in the beds and bathrooms. You can only access the floor where your bed or room is.

B2 will be their dark maze and rooms for …

 

By the way, Soi13in is not foreigner-friendly as they charge double for their entrance fee for foreigners. 800NTD.

Yea, I read about the pricing too... but the crowd seems to be good on the eyes so hopefully will get some good fun with the locals...

 

There's another popular one called Han's but the crowd seems to be older? Did you go? Any thoughts?

I visited Hans during my recent trip to Taipei. Hans is located in the heart of Ximending, with a mixed crowd, mostly bigger sized guys. Since I wasn't there for fun, the crowd didn't really affect me as I was there to use the dry sauna. However, I still managed to make some friendly twink friends there. One positive aspect of Hans is that they provide unlimited towels in the bath area and do not charge extra for foreigners. It costs 400 NTD.

 

Another public hot spring that you may wish to consider is the Jiaoxi Hot Springs, known as the 森林風呂. You can find many like-minded Taiwanese twink friends there as well. The entrance fee is 200 NTD. Please remember to bring your own bath towel.

Are Taiwanese guys friendly with Indians and south Asian? planning a trip there and unsure if they accept Indians as clients at the spas and massage places?

don't think they really know much about Indians enough to form particular opinions the way many Singaporeans (probably) do.  it's just not a group that they're as exposed to.  so how they treat you will likely be based on your own merits (or demerits) and not to be confused with racial prejudice.

Anyone going soi13 this weekend? Is the best time to be there after dinner? (730-8pm)

Heard from those twink friends I met there that Saturday is the most crowded day. Many people are disappointed because they need to queue outside when all the lockers are taken. The long waiting time is unbearable since you don't see people coming out until late.

Yes but tourists wouldn't mind

And it's best to go at the time when locals get discounted entry price

Unfortunately, I won't pay 800NTD (approximately $34 SGD) for this purpose when I can easily get it elsewhere at no cost.

So serious need to be jailed? Thought such services is common in Taiwan?

[Swimfun]

It's common for any country to license unethical services but they need to pay for a special license that comes with strict regulations and requirements. For example, all sex providers must undergo monthly screenings/tests, and pre-medication is compulsory. These services are only allowed to operate in designated zones, such as our Geylang area.

 

Typically, the license fees and obligations aren't cheap, and in many countries, additional under-the-table payments are common. That's also why you end up paying more for that type of massage.

 

As a result, many unlicensed sex establishments will disguise themselves as massage parlors, when in reality, they are providing prostitution services. Once they become well-known and attract attention from direct or indirect competitors, they are reported to the authorities for not paying the correct licensing fees and under-the-table payments. This often leads to raids taking place.

 

The funniest part is that unlicensed establishments, without applying for the correct license due to costly fees, still charge high prices as if they were licensed.

Makes perfect sense.  The whole point of not getting the license is to cut cost and increase profit margin, not to cut cost and pass savings to customers.  🫡

[Guest Taipei visitor]

Hello, I plan to book miniinn based on feedback in this forum (thanks!!!).  But how do I know which room is good fro cruising?  The website offers two kinds of male-only door room, including one which has double bed and is more expensive.  Does anyone have any advice about where the best crusing happens at miniinn?

your experience may not be the best if you will be assigned to a room that is not gay friendly. REQUEST for a gay friendly room. You may note it upon reservation and make sure to confirm it with the reception upon arrival. I made a mistake last time and it was a mess because they cannot transfer me since gay friendly rooms are always fully booked

Government owned hot spring but run by appointed agency. Better facilities as compare to 皇池. Bigger space and better crowd, met a few Taiwan twinks there. Entrance fees 200NTD. Remember to bring your own towel and some coins for their coin-operated lockers. If you intend to stay long, do bring some snacks or bento.
