Hi,

Thailand has these places called "entertainment complexes"[1]  that
offers bathing + massage services and quite often the expectation is
that there will be sexual services offered. However, I don't want to tag
them as brothels as prostitution on the premises is legally not allowed[2].

I propose to tag this as leisure=massage_parlour since that's what the
Thai English dictionary calls them[3] but I don't want it to be mistaken
for more family friendly establishments in other parts of the world.
Colloquially these places are called soapy massage so perhaps
leisure=soapy_massage? :)

One reason why they should be mapped is just how prominent they are as
landmarks in general. For example, here's one called Utopia

Defense http://www.mapillary.com/map/im/ho84IFdUxupke-6pwrWW3g and
Colonze http://www.mapillary.com/map/im/469ttdMVw4_1o3vkuvE_xw

Any thoughts?
