Now there are 100+ and still more opening all the time. Look at Soi Kepsap...wall-to-wall massage shops...20+ in a very small area. Great for the customer ;-)

I came to Phuket for the first time in 1991, and there were only 2 massage salons in Patong: Hatuvat and Patong Lotus (Soi Post Office). A lot has changed.
