Is the sofa massage around Soi outside Patong better than Patong gogo bars?

Yesterday, after having brunch and walking on the beach, I remembered and wandered around a few alleys outside Patong. The smell and music weren't loud, and the atmosphere was calm. In a few small massage shops, they mentioned nuru and full service, but most are freelancers, so if you choose well, the cost performance is decent. However, it looked cleaner and the water quality seemed better than places crowded with freelancers like Walking Street. A recommended tip is to go before 9 PM to choose directly and check out the small shops on the left side of the stairs first. It's easy to get ripped off, so if they suggest a lady drink, it's better to pass immediately. One place had a shower room in a jacuzzi style, which was surprising. If you want a short time, negotiating is advantageous, but if you want a full course, you need to confirm the conditions beforehand. I hope this helps a bit, haha.
