I had a similar experience at Bandung Spa yesterday. It seems to have been converted into some kind of open air bar or restaurant--not gay.

The massage set there included a nice soak in a big tub--I will miss one of the few massage venues on our side of the river.

sorry for you. yes, indeed in Thonburi or anywhere west of the river there seem to be a dearth of those palces. Did you ask if by any chance they did not move to other premises? That also happens quite often with such shops. They got good reviews on this site too.

-- A couple or so days ago, and acting upon a suggestion rec'd. from a valued friend of mine, I visited PARADIS DAY SPA.,
- addr.: Silom soi 2
Bang rak, BKK. 10500.;
- BTS./MRT.: Sala Daeng, (S2.)/Silom;
- tel.: (02)-632 9730.;
web: > Sesa Cosmetics <

-- ETA. approx. 15.50.hrs.;
- I was shewn upstairs to Recept'n. by a well-built masseur whose English is quite fair; Recept'n. is spacious, clean & has Oriental decor.;
- I looked-at the menu and chose my usual 90mins. & oil-massage - price 999.Bh.!
- I was joined by my masseur: 24YO., hails from nr. CHIANG MAI, speaks enough English to get-by and is the 3rd. child of 7.;
- We went upstairs and into Room #8., wch. is roughly 12ft. x10ft., clean & well-maintained looking; and has a bath with shower against the farther wall; NB.: the walls do not go UP as far as the ceiling, thus it is perfectly possibly to hear conversations from other rooms, as indeed we did: a v. chatty masseuse and her customer! There is the usual massage-table with clean linen & towels; back-gr. music not too loud;
I was helped solicitously into & out of the bath - possibly he was concerned lest this TOF. should slip and injure himself?
- After my shower, whose HOT water was HOT and of a strong pressure, and being patted dry I lay-down prone and the massage started; certainly generous with the massage-oil; long & slow strokes that did not favor any particular part of my body. The masseur told me that he'd worked there for quite a long time; so I asked him where he's rec'd. his massage-trg.? A question that he did not answer but pretended not to u'stand. me - confirmed my opinion that possibly his was OTJ. learning, wch. really I would hesitate to recommend. Standing at my head to massage my shoulders he asked me if I'd like to massage him? His masseur's trousers & pants. were removed in quick time to reveal an avg. length, thick & unc'cised. member wch. soon stiffened to something a little better than avg.+ length and of a good & mouth-filling girth.
- Afterwards I turned-over to lie supine for him to complete the massage; to be fair this time his att'n. to my shoulders was MORE thorough and probing into the shoulders' muscles;
- A final shower, for wch. I was given a fresh & dry towel, and that was that; total time was just over the 90 mins.;
- I gave him what I thought was a fair enough TIP., at wch, he looked and jokingly, (?), said that he expected 2K.Bh.!

-- At that price, (and the expected TIP jestingly, [?], mentioned.), I would hesitate to recommend that particular masseur and would be MORE careful in future to select a masseur from preferably another customer's word of mouth and one who knows how to give a thorough massage. In short I've enjoyed better & MORE thorough massages from say INDRA MASSAGE - Tnn. Than Tawan, off Suriwong rd..

I went there last year and as I wanted a massage without happy ending I said "Up to you" when they asked "man or lady?". I got assigned a girl and after about 3/4 of the allotted time she placed her hand on my un-erect member. When I brushed her hand aside she said "You can have boy if you ask for boy"!!! We ended at the correct time and I gave her what I thought was a standard tip (300? 500? - can't remember), to which she did not object.

have I missed this one before or did you all? On my last eve in BKK I finally did a quick walk around Silom and noted The ADAM SPA in Silom soi 4-just before Telefone. thai =250 and oil=450/hr and only male staff with a comprehending friendly smile.
PRIME had no boys at all sitting outside.
Still wonder what this 66 or 99 place just beside Tawan and that other place does-seen the very same 2 a little older boys all the time-outside, thus not with customers.
Also noted; MY WAY-that overlong surviving ex gogobar on a short soi at RAM IV has closed-building completely under reconstruction.

-- Today, (23 jul.), a'noon. passing by TAWAN CLUB - soi Than Tawan, off Suriwong rd. - I saw that the next door 99 CLIMAX MASSAGE PARLOR - cell: (081)-755 6777. - has CLOSED, moved elsewhere or been taken-over by the TAWAN CLUB.
- Outside there are new signs advertising THE SUN MASSAGE - cell: (089)-058 7340.;
- From looking-at the chalk-board prices look to be unchanged;
-- Passing by in the evening I saw several masseurs sitting outside - all familiar faces andfamiliar invitations;
- So maybe it's a change in mngmnt. and in managing, but otherwise it'll remain much of a muchness?
