-- 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.
