If you off a boy from a go-go bar for a few days you pay a fee, but certainly not 1000 a day. You pay the usual off fee (400 or 500 - whatever it is these days) multiplied by the number of days. I think 1000 is way OTT.

Go-go bars and host bars are different from massage parlors. Boys at the bars are only expected to get "offed" once a day (if that). That one off fee is all they are expected to produce.

Massage boys, on the other hand, often do three or four massages a day, especially if it is a small place with limited manpower like Senso.

If a boy does on average just two massages at 600 or 700 baht a day (not sure what it costs at Senso), he is producing 1200-1400 baht a day for the parlor owner. Charging 1,000 baht a day for the loss of his revenue stream is therefore not unreasonable.

Yes - massage parlors often have boys on some sort of salary; if the boy is off the salary cost is zero.

I have read a few posts saying that 1000 Bht a day is way too much and at a go go bar you would pay only 400-500 bht. That may be true but then again, you forget that you can't really get a good massage from the boys from a go go bar. All you'll get is sex.

I like both (sex and massage) and to be honest, is you were to ask me to chose between the two, I would more often than not go for a fantastic massage.

For me this deal works. It may not work for some. I think deal making is all about putting a value to a certain service or object. It is also about both parties leaving satisfied and looking forward to business in the future.
So if the mamasan at Senso is laughing all the way to the bank...good for him. Because I feel that what I got for the price I paid is worth it.

K enough said I guess.
