The Captain Does Kaohsiung!
Hi, everyone! Quick introduction about myself: I'm a youngish white guy who's in good shape, speaks conversational Mandarin Chinese, and has extensive experience traveling all across Asia. I'm a sucker for "budget" mongering, and I like getting into gritty areas and looking around. This is my first time in Kaohsiung, and after reading through this here thread, I hit up a few of the places regularly mentioned. And I got to say I'm not very impressed.
After reading many reports of easy Filipina girls at the bars near the Ai (Love) River, I decided I'd check them out first. I first made my way to Boracay Pub on Wufu 4th Road (Google Maps: 22.6210942, 120.2883213), which is a small place with a bar downstairs, and a karaoke machine upstairs. As I walked in, several youngish Filipina girls were playing some card games together on one of the tables. Two other older Filipina women were sitting at the bar. I ordered a beer and chatted with the older women for a bit. It didn't take long for them to start hounding me for lady drinks, and then it hit me that this place was yet another hostess bar, which I have zero interest in. Leave that overpriced crap in Japan where it belongs.
Since one of the ladies was being very touchy with me and seemed a bit interested, I figured I'd just buy her one drink and see what I could do. Maybe I could get something free out of it after all. Her face was not very attractive at all, but her body looked half decent. She was a 5 at best. Her lady drink was 400 TWD, which seemed extortionately expensive, but maybe that's the true price. Hard for me to tell. After she got a drink for herself, I invited her upstairs, as there was no one up there, and she happily obliged. We sat on one of the sofas together, and I immediately started to feel her up, as I knew she wouldn't resist. She eagerly showed me her tits, and she had HUGE nipples, which was quite a turn off, but whatever. I pulled my pants down, and she played with my dick for a bit. She said she's suck me off if I bought her 5 lady drinks, but I didn't go with it. Way too expensive I think. And I figured I could get something for free if I was persistent enough.
She played with my dick for what seemed like 15 minutes, but I wasn't making any progress. It seemed like she would have to be much more drunk for me to get anywhere, which means I would've had to keep buying more and more expensive lady drinks, which I felt wasn't worth it at all. I eventually gave up, paid for my beer and her lady drink (520 TWD total), and left. Those girls were still there playing cards when I left, and they didn't seem the least bit interested in me. Unless you want to drop tons of dollars paying for beer and stupid lady drinks, I suggest skipping Boracay Pub. Maybe if you went late in the night and the girls were drunk enough you could get something for free, but I'm doubtful.
I later walked to Manila Disco Bar on Qixian 3rd Road (Google Maps: 22.623425, 120.280903), which is only about a kilometer's walk east of Boracay Pub. Once entering, you immediately walk downstairs into a nightclub. It looks like a proper dance club once you enter, but in fact it's yet another damn hostess bar. Only working girls seem to go there, not regular everyday girls. No thanks. As soon as I walked in, it was dark, there was loud dance music playing, and there were a bunch of Filipina girls sitting tiredly on a sofa together. I could see a table full of Bangladeshi-looking guys with a few hostesses by their side. I'm quite sure they're probably seamen, as this whole area is apparently popular with them, as they've been out at sea for so long and just want to relax and have fun.
I ordered a cola from the bar, which was 100 TWD, just so I could survey the place. I sat at one of the sofas, and a young, half-decent looking Filipina came to sit by me and chat. She handed me a small plate of nuts as a snack. She looked sleepy and mostly disinterested, but she had a job to do. I knew it was only a matter of minutes before she'd start asking me for a lady drink. Not wanting to waste lots of money to be teased yet again, I finished my cola and left after about 10 minutes. The environment was dull, but some of the girls were good-looking. Nobody was dancing, and it didn't seemed like anything fun was ever going to happen. I was there around 11 PM on a Wednesday night, so maybe that was too early or the wrong day of the week. Anyways, it wasn't my kind of scene at all, so I can't recommend it to others. I have no interest to go back. Seems like a place you'd drop a lot of money and get very little in return for.
So I decided to end my fruitless night by going to Green House (Google Maps: 22.6289533, 120.3005870), the ever-so-popular massage place that keeps getting mentioned on this thread. To be clear, it doesn't say "Green House" anywhere on the sign, rather that's just a translation of the place's Chinese name. It's only a few minutes walk from Formosa Boulevard MRT Station, and it's located on the 8th floor of a relatively tall building. Just plug in the Google Maps coordinates I mentioned, and it should be easy to find. As soon as I walked in, I greeted a youngish guy in Mandarin, just to show him I could communicate easily. It seemed like he probably knew a bit of English though. He explained to me the whole "half-service" non-sex thing, and he told me the price was 1,600 TWD.
I went to my private room, which was actually fairly nice and big with a private shower and TV. There was 90's pop music playing in the background. Two ladies came to my door, and I was to choose one. I picked number 58, a good-looking middle-aged Taiwanese woman from right here in Kaohsiung (at least that's what she told me). The other was also middle-aged and had a nice body with big fake boobs, but she had a deep smoker's voice, which is a massive turn-off to me. I first took a shower by myself while number 58 waited in the room for me. When finished, she told me to get naked and face down on the massage table in the middle of the room. She massaged me with her hands for a few minutes, and then she got completely naked. She did a body-to-body massage for maybe 5 minutes, rubbing her medium-small tits across my back. I love that feeling of boobs sliding across my skin!
Eventually she had me turn over, and she put a condom on my dick and sucked me for a few more minutes. After that, she took the condom off, put some warming gel on my dick, straddled me like in the cowgirl position, and started to give me a handjob. I came after a few minutes, and that was that. She took a quick shower, then I took one alone right after. We chatted (in Mandarin) for a few minutes while I got dressed, and she asked me several questions about English grammar. She also said lots of foreigners go to their massage spa. She was nice and all, and her service was not bad, but the whole experience was just way too fast for the price. From the moment I entered the spa to the moment I left my room to pay the front desk guy was maybe 25 minutes, and half of that was just waiting for the women to come to my room.
It was nice to finish my night with a bang, but I have to desire to return to any of the places I mentioned above. If I were on a long dry streak, Green House would do, but it's not a place I'd visit often. A handjob for what amounts to US $50 just isn't worth it to me. Not in Asia. I'd give Kaohsiung a 5 on the budget monger scale. I didn't see anything that noteworthy or cheap, but it wasn't awful either.
Is Alice Spa still around or operating?
I scooted by looking for it but building was covered. So I'm wondering if they are still in operation.
Time to give a little bit back to the community.
Hi everyone,
This forum has been useful to me for my first steps and now I want to contribute a tiny bit too but, there will be no story, I'll try to keep it sweet, short and packed with useful information:
I visited a dozen of places during the last few months:
20-25 minutes driving from Kaohsiung Downtown:
"Fengren Road" - As advised by someone long time ago, this street is full of "cheap" Vietnamese massages parlors, I went to 3 or 4 times, and only one provided FS while all the others offer 1000-1500 NTD HJ. Girls are very so so and the rooms and bathroom are just. Filthy:
Avoid: 22.680308, 120.356056 (Red Board with 2 smiley girls and pink board just beside).
Go: 22.690449, 120.350617 (Blue board with mermaid, right across the gas station) - Good but I can't remember wether it's the one that offered me FS for 2300 NTD.
Kaohsiung downtown:
HJ: Many spa on Jiuru Rd and Sanduo Rd.
FS:
1/ 22.615093, 120.308029: Sanduo Rd, Pizza hut across the street, Blue lights and windows, looks neat and clean: 2000 NTD.
(So so girl the first time, better the second time but overall pretty standard, the men at the reception are friendly, I use English and very few word of Mandarin).
2/ 22.633871, 120.311854 / Qixian 1st Road, in a corner, you can't miss it, there are some flowers patterns on a giant board and its written SPA: 2500 NTD.
(Smokey room, OK cleanliness, Ok girl, pretty standard, nothing fancy).
3/ South of Airport, Hongping Road, on the right side when heading East, I can't find it anymore base on google street view but I need to go back there anyway so I will update later. It's not written spa on it but there are some blurred windows. It'a small building. (3 or 4 stories).
The guy said 1800 and then tried to increase to 2300 or 2500 but I threatened it to leave cause he wanted to change its price at the last minute: it worked! I got it for 1800 NTD.
Decent girl, so so room and cleanliness.
By the way, on the way back to Kaohsiung from Linyuan big Bridge (beside factories), on Yanhai Road Section 1, 2, 3 and 4 , you have some SPA on the right side of the street, I tried 1 or 2, it's either quality massage or HJ.
In the end I still have my best memories at the Romantic City on Jiuru 2nd Road, a few years back in time. May be because it was my first time getting that kind of services or. Because of the big main stair, carpet floor, security men and girl leading you to that dimmed "porn chic style" room? My memories can also play me a trick ahaha, I was pretty drunk.
Does anyone knows if it's operating and as good as in my memories? The price was about 1800 if I am not mistaken.
