-- Y'day.,(
12th.), evening, having read a favorable note from
Khun Yannawa and having heard
ditto from
Khun Billinbk. - and also as a nod to the Silom-centric readers who might consider my trips to BKK's. suburbs to be both a waste of time & of money - I resolved to visit
CHANG FOOT MASSAGE & SPA. -
- addr.: BTS. Sala Daeng Station, (business card.);
- loc'n.: On Tnn. Si Lom at i'sect. with soi 2/1., opposite to NOODI REST'T. and across the rd. from SILOM COMPLEX SHOPPING PLAZA;
- Google co-ords.: roughly 100-32-03.E.x13.43-43.N,;
- tel.: (02)-662 632 7871.;
- web:
http://www.changfootmassage.com > (
NB.: I was unable to download that & was directed instead to Google's search-engine - most of its entries were lacking in any useful & hard info.),.
-- ETA.: approx.
19.30.hrs.;
- Recept'n. space looked neat, clean & well-maintained;
- The English-speaking
receptioniste shewed me its
Menu: the usual std. svces. & prices for
60. & for
120.mins'. svces.; I chose my usual
90mins. & oil-massage for
750.Bh.. I was asked if I'd prefer a
masseur or a
masseuse? Being my 1st. visit thither I requested a
masseur who's comfortable with a
farang who speaks but little Th.;
- While awaiting my
masseur I was offered a choice of drinks. I replied that I'd prefer to wait until after the massage.
-- My masseur & I walked-UP
2 flts. of stairs to room #
4.: approx.
12x15ft.; neat & clean;
2 std. sized massage-tables; air-cond. & soft bkgd. music; 3x4ft. shower, (just big enough for 1
farang but sardines for him &
masseur!), HOT water was scarcely tepid;
no hawng nahm
en suite, (I forgot to ask for it so as to check it - apologies.).
-
NB.: While the walls extend from ceiling to floor the room's door is
not solid but is a fold-up type.
- My masseur is called
Khun Tam:
23YO.; mother & sisters living in ROI ET; dk-skinned, short & stocky build; is single & shares his acc'n. wth a friend; speaks fairly ltd. English.
-- After my shower I asked the
masseur to remove his shirt & trousers, he looked a trifle doubtful so I pointed-out that I was naked and that I was sure that he didn't want to get massage-oil on his good clothes!
- The lts. were dimmed and the massage began;
- A lge. towel was placed over my LOWER half through wch. I was massaged to ensure that all water was removed prior to the oil-massage, that was repeated for my UPPER half. The towel was then replaced before the masseur started on my shoulders - a good & firm massage without being heavy;
- As he massaged my LOWER back I asked for the towel to be removed;
- Plenty of time, with fingers & thumbs doing their own exploring, was spent in massaging those parts
'Upon wch. the sun ... .';
- After time on my thights, legs & feet it was time to turn-over;
- Really a MINIMUM time on my chest before moving farther SOUTH, at wch. point I decided that my own fingers should start contributing; uncut, of avg. lengthy but thin and with a decided downward bend nr. the base. that part of the massage was
not hurried and was artfully done to out mutual pleasures!
- After rubbing me all over with a towel to remove the surplus oil I had a final shower for wch. a fresh & dry towel was provided - such a blessing!
- O'all. I'd rate his perf. at
8/10..
- From entering room #
4. to my leaving was just about
80mins..
-- At recept'n. I paid my bill and noted that I was
not offered any post-massage refreshments.
- I enquired how many staff they had and was told: '
Many.'; I had noted
2 or
3 giving foot-massages and some
half-a-dozen masseurs & masseurs were lined-up at the door as I left.
- From its business card I see that there are some
seven other branches.

'Vaut le retour.'.
