Macau also has some and those are more reasonably priced (you can buy a jetfoil-boat ticket, round-trip, WITH a soapy experience in Macau, all-in-one package at the ferry terminal in HK). Best bets for scrubbing clean fun is in China: the Red Rope Lounge in Shanghai is unforgettable. My information says that the soapy originated in Japan (there are still plenty there, the term "soapland" is used) and the first soapy in Thailand opened near the Patpong area in 1956. But I haven't researched this extensively. Chaophya 2 has been operating since at least 1986, though by the look of the place it seems to have opened in the 70s. As I like retro that's not re-manufactured, I dig the place, and have had some great times there since my first visit in the late 80s. There are plenty of places, though some are farang-unfriendly (any place that overtly practices double-pricing can forget about my business). As always, speaking as much Thai as possible, smiling and joking makes the whole experience more pleasurable. JtB There are soapies in HK but they’re pricey.

Obviously tourist prices. Rub-n-tug may have been available, but I wasn't looking for it.

They are nothing like the bkk ones and I don't think they are soapies. Nor do they appear to be as farang friendly as they are in bkk. DJ, if he is reading, will know more.

Smitty was there more recently; perhaps he can spill the beans, if there are indeed beans to be spilt. Didn’t see any soapies, or even any gogos for that matter, when I was in PP in ‘06.
