You can check your bearings at this point with reference to Banana Club, another man for men massage place. Banana Club is located at this elbow in the soi.

-- 'THE BANANA FITNESS CLUB.',
41/9, S'vit. soi 11.
- contact: (02)-651 0002-03.
- From their advert. in the freebie 'MAX. Magazine.', VI:69., they're offering: 'Massage 1 hour - get 1 hour free.'; but for previous offers of theirs respondants in SGBOY.COM have been LESS than pleased with the masseurs' efforts, alleging that the 2nd. hr., or whatever is supposed to be a bonus or free, has been cut-short with a variety of excuses etc. etc..
- It is a long, long time since I visited there.

If it's the comments of Singaporeans, I'd take them with a grain of salt. Knowing their national characteristics, they probably took a stopwatch in there.

I've always had good experiences at Banana Club. I don't watch the clock, but my massages and "afters" there have never ended before I was fully satisfied.

Ditto. While I can't say I'm a regular at the Banana Club, visitng just once a year or less, I've always been satisfied. I've never felt rushed, and I'm sure I had well more than 60 minutes' of attention on each occasion, if not exactly 120 minutes' worth.

As from today V-club will have a new owner, don’t know if they renovate the place or not but definitely all the management and staff got booted. Hope the new team will restore V-club to it’s former glory.

I always understood that V CLub and Chakran were owned by the same people. Anyone know if this is the case? And if so, does that mean Chakran will also be under new ownership? I have not been for a couple of years but it used to be one of the loveliest saunas in town.

In reply to Stuv's query where Hero is, take BTS to Nana station ... get to Soi 11 and hop on one of the motorbike taxi and tell them you want to go to Hero. They all know where Hero is and you need only pay them bht20.

-- Last monday's evening I went to 'INDRA MASSAGE.' as usual.
- I was allocated to Khun Tip - mid-20s.; from Chiang Mai; on the short side and well-covered but w/o. being plump.
- At my request he removed his shirt and masseur's trousers, and after a while his u'pants..
- Quite a fair massage, but I've enjoyed better both there and elsewhere.
- The usual uncut and std. TH.-boi issue, wch. he was more than happy for me to smoke.
- For a pleasant change he spent time massaging my head, about the only one there, sofar, to do that.
- The above was my last visit there, and also to saunas, bars etc. until after Easter - after wch. 'Normal svce.' will be resumed - ha!

Anyone been to Body Club recently? Have been going on and off since it opened. Went soon after New Year and very few boys and Mamasan not that helpful and non of the boys I had had in the past there. Boy I took not that good. Thinking it was due to the New Year I went two days ago and only about 10 boys working again and no-one I recognised. Had a boy "M" - massage not that good and not at all erotic and then said ok massage finished. Actually then after that he was not that bad. But this is not how the place used to be.

hcmpp - I assume you are you referring to the Body Club on Sukhumvit Soi 8 in Bangkok (and not the unrelated one in Pattaya).

I have been going fairly regularly, perhaps once every 2 months or so. The massage quality at Body Club has never been consistent; much depends on the boy. This is unlike the skills found at Candle T Spa, for example. So I think nothing of it if on one visit I get unremarkable massage service, so long as the "aftersales service" is satisfactory.

What I have liked about Body Club has been the type of boys they had on offer.

My most recent visit was 2 weeks ago, and something unusual happened which i didn't think was a good sign. When I arrived, the mamasan was missing. The boys said he had just stepped out. Nonetheless, one of the boys took charge and the administrative prelimaries were settled without difficulty. There were about 15 boys in the line-up which didn't strike me as unusual. It has generally varied from say, 12 to 24.

When I finished and came down (about 6 or 7 pm), again I didn't see anyone behind the counter. Was the mamasan not back yet? I stood there waiting to pay and nobody seemed in charge. In fact, there was nobody in the main lobby. My masseur was making a cup of tea at the back and the other boys - goodness knows where they were.

When my guy appeared with a cup of tea, I asked him, "So, do I pay you?" which I knew from previous visits would not be the custom. There would usually be a cashier or the mamasan himself behind the counter.

The boy said "no", handed me the tea and swung around to a heap on the couch covered with a blanket and shook it. And lo! there awoke the mamasan. Perhaps he was ill that day. But if he wasn't, I thought, he would be setting a very bad example for his staff. Once discipline gets out of control, service standards would be very hard to maintain.

And yes, despite many visits to Body Club, I have never seen the same guy twice, not even in the line up. So there may be something in your observation that they cannot retain staff.

I read on a forum (I can't remember which one) that there was a European (I think Hungarian) masseur working at the Banana Club). Is this true? If so what is he like? Comments appreciated.
