These are great tactical tips from @BSR. To locate a spa/therapist, Twitter/X is your friend. Here is an account to get started, look at the spas he has posted / reviewed and you can go on threads to find all sorts of good intel: https://x.com/simplyme101486?s=21&t=Jjav7G7JkhBBn9koO9cv6w
 

In theory, yes, but …
First, make sure you download the app eGovPH and have it all filled out before landing because doing so will greatly expedite your passage thru Customs — I’m assuming you will have to go thru Customs if you’re exiting the airport.  Población (the gay district in the neighboring city Makati) is only 15 minutes from the airport without traffic.  In traffic, I’d figure more like 45 minutes.  Mapping out a worst case, if you hit traffic going both ways (45 minutes x 2), Customs drags out (another 45 minutes), and security takes a while going back in (another 45 minutes), that’s 3 hours “in transit,” with 2 hours  to squeeze in a massage.  There are a bunch of gay massage spots in Quezon City, but don’t even think about it because QC is kinda far even in light traffic.  If you hit heavy traffic, you’re dead.
You could “order in” and host in The Wings, a transit lounge in Terminal 3 that offers private rooms.  I gotta think you’d have to pay a hefty deposit since no working guy is going all the way out to the airport only to get stood up.  Try the Remitly app because others like PayPal or GCash (most popular cash app in the Philippines) require a Philippine bank account.  Note that you will likely have to start the Remitly transfer several days before meeting because for first-time users, they require you to speak with an agent to ensure the transfer is legit.  It’ll take ~24 hours for the transfer to alert their fraud dept, then you have to speak to them during West Coast business hours, then it takes another 24+ hours for the transfer to clear.
So it’s up to you whether you’d rather deal with the risk of getting stuck in traffic or of paying a deposit to an escort/masseur you don’t know.
PS:  download the Grab app and set up an account before landing.  Uber doesn’t operate in the Philippines; their equivalent is Grab.  When we were looking for a taxi to my aunt’s place, the cabdrivers quoted 1200 pesos, and my aunt asked in Tagalog!  They eventually gave the “real price,” 400 pesos.  I can only imagine the crazy ripoff price they’ll quote a foreigner.  Also, on the way back to the airport, it’s basically impossible to hail a cab in the street.  You’ll need to use Grab (which can e-hail both Uber-style private cars and metered taxis) to get back to the airport.  Note that you can only tip in cash in the Philippines.  10% rounded up to at least 100p (90 cents) to your driver is fine.  The currency exchange at the airport gives a good rate and charges a fair commission.

Encourage folks to not talk like that when we are speaking about people now working at a legit spa, puts both the spa and provider at risk.

I missed the reply here and wanted to circle back for anyone searching for info on this guy. I have met him several times and he is amazing. I’m not sure why he keeps changing his profile or what is going on in terms of the pictures back then… the pics on this profile on RM are more current and are accurate:

This info is available in other threads, but Sparadise Wellness Spa in WeHo, Sparadise La Brea and The Sense are other good options. Anyone know any others?

I’m not sure why there were no responses here. There are a number of old threads and some threads specific to one spa or masseur, but nothing very recent on the overall LA spa scene and the LA threads don’t tend to stay very active. I was going to post a new thread but figured I would revive this one instead (if I am missing something, please let me know).
I think there is a lot to be experienced right now in the LA spa scene. ☺️ I don’t want to speak specifically to anything like extras in a forum like this, but I will say I have had consistently fantastic massage experiences in LA spas.
Some of the best experiences have been at spas like these:
The Sense Massage and Wellness Center (WeHo)
Sparadise Massage and Wellness (WeHo)
Sparadise La Brea
Candle Spa (Studio City)
YoLo Foot Spa (Glendale)
I have had mediocre (but somewhat eventful) experiences at spas like these:
Prince Mens Spa
Silver Lake Wellness Spa
Ananda Spa
Wilshire Foot Spa
There are still a number of spas I would eventually like to try, among them The Rhyme Massage and Wellness Center (new and discussed in another thread) and Totally Smooth Skin.
I will give a big RIP to Blue Moon Thai Spa (now Silver Lake Wellness) and Samaran Massage TT (North Hills) where I had some great experiences in the past.
Anyone else care to share updated thoughts on the LA spa scene? I think it is having a bit of post-COVID resurgence.

Sounds like you were happy in the end with his selection. 😉

Both Thai Wellness (East Hollywood} and Thai Massage Time (Echo Park) are parlors with younger guys. 
I know of an older, burly Asian guy who is very strong with his technique but he works out of his home in Silver Lake. You can DM me for his info if you're intested

Conversely I am looking for younger, twinky guys in OC or LA, if there are some new/random spots anyone has found. 🙂 Don’t want to steal your thread but maybe we can find both.

I tried four spas.  My best experience was with Hogan at Mudan Spa (https://www.muddan.com/) - I actually felt terrible because I had hella jet lag and fell asleep and missed the masseur the first night, so I arranged with them to make it up to him and he came back the next day. Was an awesome experience, highly recommend if you are a top 😛

Second favorite was Meiji with O2 Spa (https://www.otwospa.com/),such a genuinely nice and cute guy and the better massage of the bunch.  Enjoyable ending

My only negative experience of the four was with SSB Spa (https://www.ssbspa.com.tw/), but honestly the masseur was super new and I think that was the issue.  Was still sorta enjoyable, but not worth repeating.

Can't wait to go back to Taipei. 
 

I have to say, I am visiting Taipei this week and have had three massages from spas/masseurs I found via gayspa.tw.  I think Taiwan is totally underrated here and in other forums, I have been having a wonderful time.  Here are the reasons I’ve really enjoyed it…
Most of the spas have photos and stats of their masseurs, including body pics and face pics.  Diverse types of masseurs available.  In my experience, both in a previous visit this week, the pics have been accurate.   You will likely have to use a translator on the websites, but this is easy to do via Chrome or Safari.  Pro tip… I find if the spa has a little bit of English on their site (even if it’s just here or there) they tend to be more accommodating to foreigners, including speaking English on Line (see more about that below). Quality massage and extras… in every case I have had both an at least decent massage (including body to body in every case) and fun extras. Spas are very easy to communicate via Line, similar to Thailand.  In most cases the people responding to Line queries are very friendly and willing to discuss your desires and needs and recommend the right person.  Other times they just want you to pick from a photo lineup, but they will still answer questions. On language barrier… some spas speak English over Line, some you have to use a translator.  Same with masseurs, I had one that spoke solid English and two that did not, but it’s relatively easy to use a translator and they seemed used to it. Option of in call or outcall with similar pricing On my last visit I did mostly in-call and most spas have unmarked facilities or apartments where the masseur greets you outside and takes you in, similar to the setups often found in Japan. This visit, I have done outcall every time and had the masseurs come to my hotel.  I think I prefer this, so much easier than me having to travel and they always bring oil. While I miss having a table, I can use pillows and all I need is an extra towel or two from housekeeping.  In every case, the masseur has asked me if they can use my shower before the massage (I showered right before they arrived) and all three have helped me shower afterword. Typically no down payments or anything are required, and prices for two hour comprehensive service are about $90-$110 USD, with no additional tip expected or asked for.  In some cases I rounded up for the masseur, but never spent more than $125 USD for a 90-120 minute session. Anyway, I wanted to share that Taipei is pretty fantastic.  I think I have time for two more massages so 5 is a pretty solid sample size.   will report back after I head home.

Gentlemen,
Just a reminder: Avoid posting any details about your massage  that could possibly jeopardize the licenses of the Spa and Masseur. That includes using “HE” and “MT” in your messages.
If you need more information on the masseur and what services he offers,  you can contact the member privately. 

I think it is my mission in life to try the new entrees of prime lol. So I had Matt, I don’t think I’m coming back for him again. First off, he looks like a barely legal teenager which scared me, average looking asian. Second, he has a decent massage which mostly concentrated at the back and not any other parts at all, which means I didn’t experience any sensual touches in the sensitive areas, if you know what I mean. The only saving grace is that when it’s time for the HE, he has hands that has a really high potential for ed**ng. It’s like the same hands my favorite masseur has back in my country that kinda magical, very warm and kinda soft and moist a bit. If only he knows how to use it, it could have been an explosive ending, and not just a nice one lol. 

More fun than massage

I like grandee as you has the whole place to yourself.  The secret beds were a rush. See my DM.

Thanks for this, I wondered. 

Yes, Theo is working at Energy, at least for now. 

I just tried Theo at Energy, assuming it is the same guy because this description was perfect @urbanfetish  I never made it to EMS to see him, but glad I visited Energy tonight.

Troy is at Batman Spa on 14th.
 

where is Troy and Simon?

Pretty much what I thought. lol 

It happens when you enter language into a translator and then hit copy on the entire field and not just the text. Common practice among spa owners pretending to be users methinks?
