Tonight I decided to try some place I have not seen mentioned on these hallowed pages, but is listed on Dreaded Ned - The Fan Club.
It is pretty easy to find - located a little way down on the first soi on the right as you go along Convent Road from Silom.
The place has the look of a post-modern bar from the outside, all chrome and moody lighting. Inside is a narrow room with all the boys (around 20) lounging around just inside. Customers are taken upstairs to a first floor balcony area that looks over the ground floor room.
The mamasan was very friendly without being over the top or annoying. He gave me a price list that ranged from 1hr oil at 400 to 2 hour aroma oil at 1100, although he said I could have a special price of 1000, or if I wanted 2 boys, 1500. They also do scrubs etc, but unfortunately they had run out of cream. He also pointed to the minimum tip giude - 800 baht for 1 1/2 hours if no sex (his words), minimum of 1000 if sex had, he said. Personally I like the idea of a 4-hand massage more than the actual thing so I opted for a 1 1/2 hour oil massage for 650 baht.
The range of boys was good - all standing on the floor below, most having taken off their shirts. I chose a wiry, lean boy called Yo who was 28, from Bangkok and spoke pretty good english.
The massage room was good, roomy, clean and modern. It had a decent shower in it, plus one of those large low beds.
The massage was good, firm and covered everything that should have been covered. A happy ending was offered but declined due to an ongoing battle with personal demons, however the nice thing was that Yo was happy to lie with me in his arms and talk for what seemed like forever. Certainly when I left, it was closer to 2 hours after arriving so there was none of the short changing that you can get elsewhere.
8 out of 10 - was definitely worth a repeat visit.
