Trentaus - Being charged 700 for a 90-minute massage is not unreasonable for a place like Adonis. As Xfun has mentioned, V-club charges more, and for only 60 minutes. I don't think you even want to know what Senso, less than 1 km from Adonis, charges for 60 or 90 minutes.

Xfun - your description of a V-club experience ties in with mine.

However, I'd like to echo icon513 - my first visit to Adonis, maybe 5 years ago, was a disaster. The second was so-so. It's only the last few where I seem to have hit on some lucky choices. I know I myself have reviewed Adonis positively (based on the more recent visits), but nothing is ever assured in these places.

The only thing one can reasonably control is to choose places that do not charge stratospheric prices, so that even if it's a dud, you don't lose as much as in places like V-club and Senso that think extremely highly of themselves, yet whose service quality is not any better than the rest.

Yes, I agree. My once and only experience at Senso on a previous visit to Bangkok was a disaster: poor massage and no sex!

Went there on Thursday afternoon, new manager, a (real) lady, speaks good English.

Now have curtain right across the area where the boys sit.

Manager claimed they had 24 boys on the premises that day, and 2 were upstairs with clients. Asked to see the boys but she said no, must choose from the photo album, which contains photos of 3 boys (yes this is not very logical).

I asked to see two of the boys in the photos, both looked nothing like the photos and were not interesting to me. Then a young man appeared with a glass of water and I chose him.

Selected boy escorted me upstairs, asked me to take a shower and he would be back. He came back 20 minutes later still talking on his mobile.

Total waste of time, massage was poor, no other action whatever, would not take off his pants, starting asking for 2,000Baht from the moment he returned.

Halfway through the massage he indicated he had to call a friend and disappeared out of the room for about 10 minutes. At end of massage I gave him 500Baht, he asked for more but I refused.

On return to the ground floor the curtain was open but was quickly closed, and indeed they did have more than 20 boys.

Massage fee was 500Baht.

Off my list.

I had a similar experience at GM two weeks ago-- There was no one to help when I arrived-- one of the guys in the book was acting as the host, and eventually he came to help me. He was not available although he was in the book--It seemed only one of the guys in the book was available. A waste of time. I was left alone in a not so nice room--waited about 10 minutes. The masseur arrived. He gave me about 10 minutes on my back and then I turned over. He asked if I wanted to watch him jack off. I told him not really--then he did. After he came, he took a hot shower for about 1o minutes then asked for the tip. Then I could take a shower. The entire experience lasted about 40 minutes.

No more business from me.

Sextile's 99 Climax appeared to be open last night but not sure exactly what was on offer. I had just climaxed at Proud 66 so wasn't all that interested. Round the corner, I was invited to have a massage at Blue Swan massage by a pleasant young lad...but the other staff were ladies and I believe it is a straight massage place. I had a Thai massage with no hanky or panky. It is right opposite Golden Cock.

- I asked for my usual 90mins. & oil-massage and was quoted 400.Bh. - accepted;
- Masseur Saen shewed me directly to the abh-nahm, (thus no fears about leaving my clothes unattended in the massage-room.), the actual shower cubicle is approx. 3ft.x3ft. - there is HOT water! The towel was soft & smelled fresh.

- Masseur Saen was awaiting me dressed in lose shirt over masseur's trousers, wch. he did not remove.
- A good & honest massage without any frills: effleurage, body-to-body or whatever - long & slow strokes wch. did not omit those parts ... but equally didn't spend an undue amt. of either effort or time there.
- Having turned-over onto my back the massage continued UPwards from my feet and then seemed to falter a bit at my groin - an hint possibly? Indeed so; we pleasured eachother manually - most satis. as far as I was concerned - to an HE..
- Some MORE massage before I was rubbed briskly all over with a towel and that was that.
- This clock-watcher noted that it was for a full 90mins..

-- In Recept'n. - over a cup of hot & herbal tea - I chatted with the owner & manageress, an apparently strong-minded women, I thought.
- I was offered their Loyalty Card - attend thrice and be given a free & 60mins. either Thai or foot-massage.

-- Vaut le retour.

Thanks again Sexy. Seems we agree on the intersection location. Your Garmin is set to Degrees and Minutes to 3 decimal places. My reference was in Degrees, Minutes and Seconds...hence the apparent difference.
Even though your were pretty pissed off by the end of your investigations and way too early for opening time, did you finally have the impression that the place was actually about 200 meters east of the junction and findable?
