Many Taiwanese men visiting Taiwan often try the ‘Thai Bath’ to experience the local culture and see how Thai women differ from Taiwanese women. The Thai Bath is considered an ‘entry–level’ adult service in Taiwan. Although it has seen a decline due to the pandemic, many tourists remain curious about this industry.
If you’re in Taiwan and want to try a bath but don’t know where to start, it’s recommended to check out the guide compiled by Ryan. Do your homework and compare options to avoid overpaying!
What is a Thai Bath?
The ‘Thai Bath,’ also known as the ‘Fishbowl,’ combines bathing with adult massage services, mainly found in Taipei and Pattaya. These establishments are referred to as ‘bathhouses’ in local slang, each with its own style, including different facilities, staff, and pricing. If you’re not interested in the full experience, these places also offer ‘pure bathing services.’
What are the features of a Thai Bath?
The main difference between a Thai Bath and Taiwanese adult massage is that in a Thai Bath, you can directly engage with the staff, and the service is more comprehensive, typically lasting 90 minutes per session.
Regarding the space, Thai Baths usually offer spacious rooms with a bathroom and bathtub. More upscale rooms might include an air mattress, sofa, and mirrors covering the walls and ceiling, which some find exciting.
In Taiwan, adult service establishments provide private rooms, which may include a bathroom but are generally smaller and lack mirrors, making the experience different.
Additionally, rooms are categorized by level, with VIP rooms available for group experiences. If you’re not shy, sharing the cost with friends can be more economical. During the massage, you can order food and drinks for an extra charge, and tipping the staff for delivery is customary. So, remember to bring some 20 or NT$ 50 bills when visiting a Thai Bath.
Summarize the main features of Thai baths:
- Offers transactional services, allowing for protected interactions with the attendants.
- Service duration is longer, typically 90 minutes per session.
- Rooms are spacious, equipped with a bathroom and bathtub.
- Rooms are decorated with mirrors to enhance visual stimulation.
- During and around the massage, you can order food in the room or the establishment’s lobby.
- Tipping the delivery staff is customary.
Pricing for Thai baths
Thai baths are generally categorized by price, with higher tiers offering better quality attendants, possibly including models or influencers. The market rates are as follows:
- Low price range: NT$ 2000–4000THB
- Mid price range: NT$ 5000–9000THB
- High price range: NT$ 10000–15000THB
The above is the basic service fee, which converts to about 1800–5000 TWD. Additionally, you need to account for dining expenses, tips, etc. Generally, a tip of about NT$ 20–100THB is given. Room charges are not extra, but if you choose a VIP room, you’ll need to book for 2 sessions, extending the service time to 3 hours–

How does a Thai bath differ from Taiwanese erotic massage?
The price range for Thai baths is broad. If you’re just looking to experience it, the mid to low price range is indeed cheaper than Taiwanese erotic massages. The massage techniques, facilities, and services are more upscale, and the service time is longer. However, the quality of the attendants varies. High–end places guarantee quality, but mid to low–end places can be hit or miss. Overall, the quality of Taiwanese attendants is more consistent, and even the cheaper ones aren’t unattractive.
Experiencing a Thai bath is essentially about being treated like royalty, which is why many tourists feel pampered after a visit to Taiwan! There’s even talk that some people tip the attendants generously, and the attendants, happy to earn extra, smile brightly. Although Ryan doesn’t recommend this, it does provide a sense of prestige that surpasses Taiwanese erotic massages!
Thai Bath Service Process
The service process for a Thai bath is very straightforward, and the whole experience is quick and to the point!
1. Enter the establishment
Staff will guide you to the fishbowl to select an attendant.
2. Choose your companion
Each girl will have a number tag on her. If you see one you like, just note down the number.
3.Quote
Tell the staff your number tag, and they will give you a quote. If it’s not suitable, you can change it. If you have special requests, mention them at this time, and they will provide an additional quote.
4. Pay
Once the quote is confirmed, the staff will take you to the counter to make the payment.
5. Services
After payment, the girl will take you to the room to start the service and first confirm if you have any specific requests. Then, you’ll take a shower, followed by various oral and intercourse sessions. After finishing, she’ll help you clean up. If you finish before the time is up, she’ll offer a body massage or you can have a meal until the time ends.
Things to Consider When Visiting a Thai Bath
1. Regardless of the duration of the service, you can only finish once.
Under normal circumstances,During the service time, you can only finish once. Once you’ve finished, there’s usually not much service time left. The lady will be eager to move on to the next client to earn more money, and typically won’t allow a second round. Unless there’s a mutual attraction and she’s willing to offer extra service, you’ll need to ask her first if you want more. You can’t force it.
However, some places might promise you two sessions to attract customers, but in reality, they don’t deliver, and you end up losing out! It’s recommended to agree on the number of sessions before paying to avoid being taken advantage of.
2. No kissing the lady during the process.
Thai ladies highly value respect and prefer to reserve kissing for someone they love. Therefore, during a Thai bath, kissing is generally not allowed. However, similar to other situations, if the lady likes you and considers you a good client, she might be willing to kiss you.
3. It’s common to cut time short in Thai baths
As mentioned earlier, each session in a Thai bath is supposed to last 90 minutes, but it usually doesn’t. Some attendants, eager to earn more, will rush you to clean up and get dressed after you’re done, then hurry you out. This is typical. To avoid this and not waste your money, it’s advisable to carefully choose the establishment and check online reviews from experienced patrons before visiting.
Common Questions About Thai Baths FAQ
Can You Have Multiple Partners in a Thai Bath?
Of course, but you need to arrange it with the establishment in advance. For example, Ryan often has groups of friends who book a VIP room for a Thai bath, inviting several attendants for a group experience with their close buddies.
Can You Catch an STD from a Thai Massage?
High–quality, upscale establishments ensure regular health check–ups for their staff, but there’s still a risk of illness. So, it’s advisable to use protection when visiting a Thai bath, just to be safe.
Can Women Enjoy Thai Spa Baths Too?
Of course, but it depends on whether the establishment accepts it. Some attendants may not be willing to serve women, and in that case, there’s nothing that can be done. However, well–known influencer ‘Kwai Ting’ has personally experienced it, and women can still enjoy it. Thai attendants will use various techniques to make you feel comfortable and will also help you with a bath, making it a very unique experience for women.
