I noticed on the Utopia site that they mention a place called X2, in Silom Soi 6. Is this near Solid? Has anyone been there? I did a Search of the thread but came back with no results. Is that the one called Tuarus that sextile mentions?

X 2 info on Utopia, I think, is old, but the same location as the sauna it talks about is a new go-go bar...I forget the name. It is in the same building as Tuarus massage, but with a restaurant stuck between the two....all more or less opposite Nature and next to Golden Cock. I believe an X 2 sign or two may still be around from years ago when it was also a go-go bar and massage place on the upper floors. More recently it used to be an after-hours disco also.
last night as I walked by, there were massage boys in the street and go-go boys also in the street urging passers-by to go in. I like some of the boys in both places.
Both places are no more than a few yards from Solid.

Thanks. I'm staying at Tarntawan Hotel after New Year so I'll drop by both places - it saves having to cross Suriwong Rd and-or fight through the Patpong touts and beggars.

-- This evening, (05th.), I went to SILOM MASSAGE -
- addr.: 16, Tnn. Si Lom,
Bang rak.;
- loc'n.: opp. to SILOM COMPLEX SHOPPING PLAZA and by the BTS's. escalator;
- pos'n.: 100-32.192E.x13-43.758N.;
- tel.: (02)-632 7008.;

-- I chose a one hour's foot massage, priced at 250.Bh. PLUS TIPS. to the masseur;
- ETA.: 20.45.hrs.;
- Not at all busy;
- I was assigned to Khun PHOO, who - I would say - would be the type of masseur who would recommend an oil-massage etc. etc.; even although SILOM MASSAGE is not that type of place that would encourage any hanky-panky.

It may not encourage any hanky panky but you can quite often get a happy ending and grope the masseur. However it is not guaranteed and I do go there just expecting a good massage ..... but sometimes things just happen.

-- Agreed!
- In my experience of going to SILOM MASSAGE Khun JOHN is 100%. straight - so it's no good expecting or asking for any extras from him;
- Khun ART. - or so I'm told - greatly prefers other Thais and then other Orientals; he will not do anything extra with Westerners.
- My prefered masseur - until he left to become Mngr. of BAAN TEWA* - was Khun KOB, who eventually used to visit me in my app't. for massages there.
- Possibly I'll try my y'day's foot-masseur: Khun PHOO sometime in the future?

-- This a'noon., (08th.), I decided to visit SMART BANK.

-- from Tnn. Si Lom I caught 'bus. #163.; fare 11Bh., time approx. 30mins. -
- THE MALL - THAPRA comes-up quite visibly on one's RHS. - there is a largish sign on its front.
- The 'bus. from Si Lom stops in front of a branch of KASIKORN BANK and straight across from THE MALL.
- A bit further along is a pedestrian over-bridge into THE MALL.
- From THE MALL walk back, (as though one was returning to BKK.), for approx. 300yds. to Tnn. Ratchada soi 12.; as mentioned in a previous posting there are clearly visible signs for SMART BANG, [sic]! SMART BANK is a few yds. further down soi 12 on one's RHS. - look-up for a dk. blue sign.
- addr.: 189, Tnn.R'phisek., soi 12.,
Thon buri, 10600.;
- pos'n.: 100-28-48.060E.x13-42-38.340N.;
- tel.: (02)-476 7776. -- (01)-4900 777.;
- web.: there is no web-site;
- hrs.: 09-02.oo. daily.

-- I was welcomed by a pleasantly spoken young man with adequate enough English; after chitter-chat of 'Where am I living in BKK.?' and 'How did I get to hear of SMART BANK?', I checked on their svces. - they don't offer a 90mins. oil-massage, their nearest being a 2hrs'. cream massage for 900.Bh., wch. I accepted.
- Masseur Doh no longer works there and Masseur Id had another customer; I thought it unusual that the young man did not know those things himself but had to ask one of the other boyz there.
- I was invited to chose a masseur from their album of photos. In the end I chose one at random: masseur NUT, (whose photo. shewed him as clean-shaven but who sports now some fashionable facial hair.), 21YO. with a small and neat body - no excess fat - from I-San who speaks very little English.
- The massage room is approx. 10x20ft. - half being for the raised massage bed, (roughly queen-sized!), and the other half for the step-in bath, wardrobe and so on.
- There was no soap provided for my pre-massage shower; but mouth-wash was available.
- An initial rub-down with some exfoliating cream, wch. was followed by a shower.
- Then to the cream massage: plenty of att'n. to my feet and I was starting to look-fwd. to a good and a thorough massage; but as the masseur moved-up so the qual. of the massage deteriorated.
- After somewhat LESS than an hr. the masseur judged that it was time for the expected Happy Ending. His **** erected rapidly: of avg. Thai boi size and uncut.
- My questing fingers explored his sweet and little *rs* wch. is firm and neat; however as a result I wasn't too sure about his pers. hygiene - either that or he has a problem in that area?
- Even although mouth-wash was provided I decided that I'd use my own Listerine - just to make MORE certain of my oral hygiene afterwards.
- Even although I had three showers never once did the masseur join me; although he did give me a fresh towel for my final shower - a PLUS point.
- I gave the masseur what I considered an adequate enough TIPS. for the massage and for the time, although his face shewed me otherwise.
- From entering to leaving was approx. 75mins! So much for a two hours' massage,
Not wishing to be judged a Whingeing Pom. I said nothing at the time, but made a mental note for the future.
- Interesting that their welcoming young man wasn't avail. as I was leaving. Instead some shorter and rougher looking character entered and brusquely demanded the 900.Bh. - I noted that although I'd given my masseur his TIPS. he had moved-around to behind that man and between me and the front door.

-- From their Business Card they offer:
1.- Smart Facial Treatment;
2.- Smart Body Scrub;
3.- Smart Body Massage;
4.- Smart Body Bath;
5.- Smart Body Shaper;
6.- Smart Secret's Men - to INCREASE and to strengthen ... .

-- Candidly I've rec'd. better massages and apres-massage delights from INDRA MASSAGE.
- From that one visit- I would hesitate to recommend SMART BANK.
