BTW Still waiting for a report about this place from other cruisers.

Had a foot only massage at Magic Hands yesterday. Got there about 5pmish. The usual gentle complaints about no customers for 3 days or something. Couldn't really make sense of this as during my massage some 30mins or so later a couple of EOQ's descended from the upper floors having clearly just been done! I was on the ground floor where there are about 3 massage chairs. These are exceptionally comfortable being wooden with fabric cushions. The ambience is very pleasant, lots of warm orangey, yellowy autumnal colours. Dried or artificial chaenomeles branches sheilding you from side view.
My masseur was an exotic looking fellow. Tiny moustache, and goatey, swooped up rug atop... No talking at all so I don't even know his name. I should have asked. Had the foot massage with aroma oil Bt300 and gave Bt50 tip. Massage was OK but never ventured above the knees. That suited me well.
The ?owner/manager is a very obliging fellow (could be irritating if let go) but gave me a discount slip for next time. They also offer out calls at no extra cost and of course a much larger range of digital manipulations.. As the outcall rates are the same as a visit this seems very generous.
Definitely recommended.
21/35 Soi Ngam Duplee. About 2 mins walk from Pinnacle Hotel away from Rama 4 pretty much opposite Soi Goethe
