By popular demand I am assembling a short list of foreigners friendly anma massage spas in South Korea. This list of shops that is known to accept foreigners is not exhaustive or exact by any means.
I had to try to pull together the information I have into something cohesive. If I get more info, I will try to report it here. Anmas are among the most popular options for adult entertainment in Seoul. Most of them do not accept foreigner customers. Yet the Anmas are concrete both literally and figuratively. So they contain to intrigue.
In many ways they are like the Korean massage parlors in the United States. But they usually offer a little higher level of service. Anmas exist all over South Korea, as do various sorts of massage parlors like these ones near Seoul-Incheon airport , barbershops offering erotic massage, and high end jack shacks like the previously reviewed Belle , Cool , and Jinju Massage.
Anmas differ from other shops in the type and quality of service offered. As a customer, you receive a nice table shower, a decent massage, uncovered oral, thorough full service and most likely a little more. Many anma offer food, drinks, nap space, soapy massage, hair washing service, or tubs for soaking your tired bones.
While Hooker Hill in Itaewon basically caters to non-Koreans, and open minded independent escorts abound, a lot of the other places will simply turn foreigners away. These are three anma around Seoul that have accepted foreigners in the past. Whether they still do or are even still open is unknown to me at this point. All were up and running at the time of writing, but things do change.
