If Pumarin sunk to the bottom of the muck, no loss! That place was already scummy!

Had return trips to three massage venues in the Silom area last week.

Arena Massage:
I have been here several times. Usually have a good experience here, sad to say, this time it was not the case.

The number of staff to select from was certainly down from other visits. Perhaps due to the flooding, staff wasn't able to work. There were a few guys though that were certainly a possibility for me. However, while I was talking to the host/manager/captain, the guys just started to walk away. Apparently tired of waiting for me to choose. Quickly the guys in the line-up went from 7-10, to 5-6. Of course the few that I were considering were among those that had walked off.

I hate the line-up, selection process. It's embarrassing for me and for the staff, so I usually try not to look them up and down and back and forth while selecting. Rather, I try to take a quick look and then chat with the captain or look at the menu while deciding versus continue to stare at the line-up.

Anyway, after most of the staff walked off, and I was left to select from no one that interested me, I told the captain apparently they weren't interested in a customer today and left. He looked confused, and I am sure he was. I was surprised they were allowed to just walk off.

I'll be back, i'm sure. One bad experience won't keep me away.

Senso:
The most expensive place in the area, but I have never been disappointed by a massage there. Don't care for the management, their attitude, or most of their policies. But, I know I will find a guy that I like (although usually not many to choose from) and have a good massage experience.

The other reason I come back to Senso are the rooms. I love the large clean rooms, all rooms have a large shower, comfortable for two. Always like to shower before and after with the guy. And I love the large mirrors. Other places have mirrors, but they are too small or positioned wrong. Love to relax with a good massage while watching the guy's beautiful body in the mirror.

Had another good, albeit over-priced massage here.

Adonis:
Like the manager here. Usually they give me a small bottle of water when you arrive and a survey when you leave. This time they did not, perhaps due to the water shortage.

They had a small selection of guys working there. But, I selected a guy I liked and had a great experience. I was only disappointed that it was my last day in BKK. If I had been there longer, i'd have gone back to see the same guy again. When I find a guy I like I like to go back so they remember me. I also find that I get even better service on return visits.

I do wish the rooms were a bit nicer here. I usually ask for the room with the large shower. Most of the rooms have small, corner showers. It wasn't available this time, but they usually accommodate my requests.

I'll be back. Hopefully soon.

RIVERHOUSE massage, Chiang Mai.
Good marks from me for a guy named Few (Fill in the book) a 23/24 yr old farmersson from Lampang, working there for 4yrs and indeed having good experience. When presented he looked quite scruffy, but he has a well-trained soldier/athlete type body, quite dark skin and wolly hairy legs. I asked for someone to give strong massage and force he does have. Can do strong with 1 hand and tease softly with other. he seems to take his job quite seriously and as I think a good masseur is also a good observer, he does look and adapts to what he sees. When he reaches upper legs. ask him to don his underwear+rolled up phaakamaa and he will use his 11th finger as well. Very good in alternate hard/soft strokes, a bit of tease in stopping short and then coming back and a very extensive treatment of your hip-area. Sometimes like Malay-style Barin=of all your private parts too. Spent all the time ordered and came after to shower without asking and did some soapy massage too and even dried me off. Seemed utter pleased with a little more as the advertised min. tip of 600.

Many thanks for the excellent directions. Have visited in the last few days. Arrived at about 2.30 which I thought would be too early but there it was all up and busy.

Apart from the turquiose there is also a sign Ramakien style head with Baan Tewa on it...

Was given a catalogue on my arrival. Had a quick flick thru and made my pick who happened to be the guy who was my assistant... How photos can deceive.

Ordered a 90 minute aromatherapy 750 baht. Taken upstairs to an excellent room, showered and received a more than adequate massage. Very relaxing.

Got what I was really there for from my Thai std issue masseur who tipped for his efforts.

This is a quality outfit and a definite return is planned. Given a 'loyalty' card with no expiry - Buy 6 get on free (BISXGOF)

-- Not having visited BAAN TEWA MASSAGE-PARLOR - S.Sathorn 7/1. for MORE than 3yrs., and having an olde & complimentary card for an aroma massage I decided that y'day., 25 jan., late a'noon. would be a convenient time to visit;
- Much to my relief my complimentary card was accepted, wch. gave me a 90mins'. & aroma massage for free - saving me 750.Bh.!
- Looking through the book of masseurs' photos. I chose masseur Smooth, who happened to be the YM. on duty at that time;

-- After showering solo Smooth joined me, dressed-in a tee short over shorts;
- Masseur Smooth, shortish but not too stockily built, hails from NONTHABURI, is 23.YO. and has a 23YO.companion who doesn't mind him being occupied in his present job; speaks quite acceptable English learnt at school and OTJ. - 'The latter being the better place.', as I told him;
- After the room's light was dimmed a towel was placed over my UPPER body and the massage started - quite a smooth & thorough massage, wch. I found pleasantly relaxing;
- Time to massage the Upper body, at wch. point I indicated that there would be no need for the towel - Smooth accepted the hint!
- Working his way up he made his feelings plain, so I allowed my fingers to do some exploring while he continued to massage: pleasantly surprised;
- Standing at my head - the better to massage my shoulders - I saw that he was au naturel and thus decided that it was time for some MORE & intimate pleasures. His cok swelled-up to about an avg. length, with the 'skin. rolling-back quite easily to reveal & pinkish well-developed hua-kuai; had I not known then I might have thought that he is c'cised.. After a pleasant period of pleasuring we achieved that 'Maxwell House.' moment!
- Then it was time for the final shower; although we showered together there was little mutual soaping and washing-down.
- From entering the massage-room to leaving the time was just LESS than 80 minutes; fair enough seeing as it was complimentary!

-- Downstairs a small cup of lukewarm & herbal tea and that was that.
- There having been no mention of a MINIMUM TIP. I gave my masseur was I thought was appropriate for his svces..

-- I shall return, but not in the immediate future.
