-- Having located the self-styled
'Luxurious Home SPA.' EIGHT & AN HALF MASSAGE - Srinakarin 45.
, (see above #
1,373.), I thought that yesterday might be a good time to put it to the test;
-- ETA.: Approx.
16.oo.hrs.;
-- After waiting some
ten minutes an heavily-set & youngish man emerged from one of the back rooms and joined me. He spoke
no English, but between us we agreed on a 90 mins. & aroma oil-massage at
700.Bh.; he reminded me that the MINIMUM TIP. is
1,000.Bh. ! Then he
OPENED the sliding & fly-screen doors,
CLOSED the glass ones and switched-ON the overhead lights so that I could see the
four and young men lined-up; I decided that I prefered the heavy-set man;
- However, I was shewn upstairs and into the massage-room by one of the other four;
-- The clean, neat & sweet smelling room is approx.
11.x
13.feet; there is a standard-sized & massage table,
no cut-out for one's head, covered by a clean cloth, with a looking glass on the wall at its foot and a small table with facial tissues at its head.
NO locker/safe for one's valuables - but just an hook & a clothes' hanger.
-- Shared bathroom/toilet; mouth-wash provided; electric & water-heater but of LOW pressure.
-- Back in the room the same young man, a towel around his waist, awaited me. His name is Noom, but as he speaks
no English and my Thai is limited there was
no conversation between us;
- The massage was acceptable,with enough attention being given to
'Those parts ... .' to let me know what it's all about. After I'd turned-over onto my back
not much more time was spent on the massage before he began the business of the day; his appendage is uncircumcised, average/short but quite thick; but as the 'skin. didn't retract all that easily I found it LESS of a pleasure to smoke - however, both of us achieved what we wanted;
- Afterwards a final shower on my own.
-- Seated outside I was brought a cup of the traditional herbal tea - lukewarm.
- There I chatted with the owner/manager,(?); I mentioned my initial &
ten mins. wait and was told that possibly the man on the desk was busy elsewhere, the other masseurs were eating, resting and so on and so forth.
- However, as the total time was but
70.mins. I was charged only
600.Bh..
--
Verdict:
1.- A long way for a massage with extras;
2.-
Not having the
masseur of my choice there was
no chemistry between the young man and me;
not as wholly satisfied as I would have liked.
3.- Applying Billinbk's
three strikes' rule I must give that time a thumbs DOWN:
