Could someone here do me a huge favor. Can someone tell me if this KTV offers any "extra services. ".

I allowed my Thai girl to work in Taiwan for 2 weeks. She was in need of money and her friend had told her that it was easy money and didn't involve any sex work. The friend had only worked at this KTV only once and did not recall the location for me to look up beforehand. I come to find out it's located in Wanhua and in an area that is very questionable. After working there, she assured me that nothing sexual goes on. That it's strictly entertaining. I'm not disregarding what she's saying but I also don't want to be blinded and in denial. The KTV is located in Sanshui St Ln. 106. It's located on the second alley West of Bangka Park on Sanshui St. The sign of the business is blue and name of the business is

There are a lot of massage places in Shipai near ZhiYuan Park. HJ only.

I am aware of only two spas in that immediate area of the park. If possible, please inform us further.

In Mingde, along the MRT tracks, traveling towards Beitou, right before the Shipai station is an active spa. Sometimes you will see the young ladies outside getting air. Attractive. I haven't paid them a visit yet.

Prices vary. I see 90 minutes for $1500 in many. And, sometimes 2 hours. There is another spa directly across from the Shipai MRT. By all appearances, it looks to be 100% legit, and therapeutic. The Thai spas have more leeway. Of course, a man butt naked on a bed can often turn a sterile massage into an erotic pleasure.

But, in that Shipai enclave, on both sides of the MRT tracks, I have seen three or four spas vanish.

Not a lot of options on JFK for Shilin, also can't really tell if the non-chain spas in the area are he or legit. Anyone with recommendations? Will be staying in the area for about a month so would prefer somewhere really close.

I imagine that the bust is primarily related to election-year politics and that the brothel in question was targeted because it had foreign workers. I don't think that anything beyond this is going to happen.

Haven't taken a trip to Wanhua for a while, but just happened to be nearby Saturday afternoon. So I thought why not take a quick stroll.

First checked out Bangka Park opposite of Longshan Temple. There was the usual selection of Taiwanese grannies, plus a couple of younger Thai ladies who had set up shop near the subway entrance. I remember seeing some of them working on Xichang Rd. Before, so they were probably not caught in the bust.

Walking down Xichang Rd. I noticed none of the Viet girls who usually walk around on the left side of the street were to be found. However all of the usual Taiwanese ladies were available. From experience most of them reject foreigners though, so I didn't bother.

The right side of Xichang Rd. Was noticeable more empty. Usually there were 2-3 flocks of Thai girls with 3-4 girls each, but I could only spot 3 of them around. Again, all of the Taiwanese providers were available, also in the dark alleyways which lead to the diamond building. The building itself seemed pretty deserted though, with none of the usual action downstairs or on the stairs.

So it's probably not business as usual (yet), the selection of SEA talent is currently much smaller. Still, there's plenty of local providers available.

Stay safe!

In light of the most recent events in Wanhua, I felt it necessary to view the crime scene in the aftermath.

Expecting widespread depletion of female attendants, I was quite surprised to find business as usual. Plenty of ladies lining the streets, but of meager quality. (about the same).

The Taiwanese freelancers were present, seemingly unaffected by the the gangsters importing exotic ladies from foreign lands.

Made me realize that probably of the 44 captured, they were probably not street walkers, but younger ladies being managed by pimps and agents in more private brothels with access by more prearranged means. I am sure that some hit the streets when activity is slow, though, but usually more protected. Except in this instance.

Anyway, I approached a few, half-heartedly, but they were not worth the 2 k they were asking.

Being satisfied with my work, had some overly salty soup, and left.

As a side note. Aside from the mating activities, it was a Saturday night, and a very vibrant, bustling night, with plenty of vendors and happy citizens enjoying a cool October night. It was a very pleasant evening. After which, I headed out to the Yangmingshan hot springs for a late night soak. Especially after a long night of investigative journaling by foot, and producing this immediate investigative report, I needed some are&are. (LOL).

Same story in every part of the world. Try to hide crimes that are in plain sight, just before elections. I don't understand that in the year 2023, who exactly gets fooled by this charade? Gather evidence? What a load of bull. It takes 1 day to watch, surveillance and video tape what happens. If they're really interested, they'd catch and prosecute the owner of the building / apartment in open courts. Diamond building will become a children's daycare next day. But of course, it'll kill their source of monthly payments.

That Taiwan News article doesn't have many details but it's been in local press.

Diamond Building on Kanding. Mentioned here throughout the years.

It's sort of interesting that a lot of background was provided. Apparently, a guy who had been involved in all sorts of organized crime activities through the years began renting apartments in the building 7 or 8 years ago (not sure about dates) eventually obtaining 50 apartments that he paid $11,000-14,000 per month for.

31 girls. Four Taiwanese, an Indonesian, and the remaining Vietnamese. Were arrested along with eight guys who worked in the operation.

If you're wondering, the girls received $1,500-2,000 based on 'quality' and gave the owner $700 for each.

Bust was late Wednesday evening. Something like 100 cops participated in it.

I guess there is a method to their madness.

Seems like Law Enforcement gathers information and surveillance over extended periods of time before they perform a carefully strategized major sting.

I mean, I walk those alleys with the girls and police so frequently, and it appears so safe, no agenda, almost as if the police are maintaining a safe red light district for the girls to prosper, and the johns to get relief and live out their fantasies.

And, then, like this, and times prior, a well-orchestrated sweep comes down, capturing anybody and everybody who are found, unfortunately involved at that particular moment, definitely ruining their day, to say the least, and possibly even their life.

But, hey, "There but for the Grace of God go I. " Because, I was there a number of times this week, in those alleys, carefree and nonchalantly meandering amongst the ladies and the police, feeling protected under a false confidence that all is well. My only concern was not overpaying by a few bucks.

Then again, I am sure the strip is up and running again. They are probably more concerned with the criminal organization, rather than prostitution itself. Because, the tearooms are allowed to operate and remain open, to protect a Taiwanese cultural tradition and social activity for senior gents.

Thank you, Exile for the valuable reporting. Be safe, gentlemen.

I wasn't aware of a bust. Any details, a news link that you can provide. Real news and information is not always readily available, and usually very basic, lacking elaborate details. Thank you.

Always MR. I've posted quite a lot in the past.

Hmm, I've been hit with bait and switch 3 times in Taipei.

1) it was my fault. I actually caught them and called them out! (via reverse image) But the handler was so brazen and simply said. I guarantee this is me. If it isn't, just leave. Well, they tricked me. And I guess they're just hoping that you'll be too in the moment to care. The bait was a 10, the switch was actually a very cute 8, but her personality was a 10 and we exchanged contacts. Not sure if I'll ever see her again but I liked her A LOT and wouldn't mind. I wrote back to the handler in a mock angry tone, calling out the bait and switch. They left me on read.

2) I think, but not entirely certain, that I was talking to an actual girl who may have been using a real photo. And to be fair, I often end up stringing the girls along (not big time but just within reason) with a maybe until the time is right for me to commit to a last minute meeting. So I totally understand when girls cannot accommodate my last minute requests. But this one did, and so when I arrived I was a bit upset to get a message that she was busy and was sending me to meet her friend. This was a bait and switch but via phone so I at least had a heads up before going into the hotel. The new photos were not as appealing, but the price was proportionally reduced enough for me to decide proceed. Original photos were a 10, I'd say the new photos were 7. 5 and the actual girl was about a 7. It was fine. What was crazy was afterward, and I had returned to my abode quite far away from the rendezvous, I sent a message asking if she was real and just got called to another appt at the last moment. Or if she was just a handler. She said she was real and asked me to come now as she was available. Umm, I can't do back-to-backs I'm sorry so I told her that. And very weirdly, she wouldn't take no for an answer. Kept asking me to come back and even getting oddly angry in her messages that I wouldn't return. I basically filed this away in my head as a lucky miss to avoid this psycho person, if she is in fact real.

3) Third bait and switch happened very recently. It was almost a combo of #1 and 2. I made my usual tentative agreement with a girl for a particular evening, but then I found something in one of her old photos that made me question her authenticity. So when she asked if I was coming I told her no and explained very matter of factly why, including links. She replied by offering a video call to prove who she is. I accepted. And even though she wasn't the same girl in the pics, she was still quite beautiful. So I followed through with the appointment later on and the bait and switch happened at the door of the room. The video call girl was maybe an 8. 5, the girl who opened the door was a 6. "Sorry, my friend is busy now but she tell me to meet you. Still very good sex. " I told her no. She said something a couple times to try to entice me. I again said sorry, no. And walked away. Weirdly, when I left, the busy girl was able to message me immediately asking me to stay and go see her friend. I told her no. (Thankfully I had a backup so all was good, just annoyed about having traveled about 30 minutes out of the way) 90 minutes later she tried to call me, tried messaging me, saying she was available now. I ignored her. Maybe she was legit and just had something come up at the last second, or maybe she's a handler who happens to be very attractive.

Anyway, that's the story of my bait and switches, which I'm fortunate to say are not a very high percentage. I'm also really glad I had the cajones to walk away from the third example, which was my first time ever just walking away from an appt. Had she been a 7, I probably would have just settled.

You using JK or some other forums for these?
