And do real estate agents refer to boys as "bois" or "boyz?"

Incidentally, concerning your use of "yourself" and "ourselves," since you enjoy commenting on other contributors’ use of English...


“Yourself/myself/himself are reflexive pronouns that have a very limited correct use. We use them when the subject and object of the verb are the same person, or to emphasize that a person performs an action alone.”

Looks like some trolls have moved over to this board to harass some of the useful posters. Got tired of causing trouble over at Sawatdee?

-- While in PATTAYA recently I went to the following massage parlor -

NARCISSUS.,
- addr.: 329/39 moo 10., Pattayaland 13/1. Second rd.,
BANGLAMUNG, CHONBURI, 20260.;
- tel.: (038)-710 863.;
- e-mail: [email removed]
- hrs.: daily, 13.-01.oo.hrs.;

- After I'd sat-down about ten masseurs - none of whom is eye-candy - sat-down opposite. They were wearing white & numbered vests over white shorts.
- The price list is for 60. & for 120.minutes services; however, and after a bit of haggling, the Mamasan - quite fair English & chatty - agreed on 90mins. & oil-massage for 500.Bh.. There is a MINIMUM TIP. of either 500. or of 700.Bh. - I forget which.
- I didn't ask the M'san. for any guidance and chose masseur #26.: Khun Tew.
- We went upstairs to the massage room: approx. 7x11ft. PLUS a bay window and with the standard massage-table with clean sheets; the wall to the next room was cut-away to allow both rooms to share a common air-cond..
- The 4 common showers are in what looks like an extension/out-house - but clean and with running H&C. and liquid & scented soap. Khun Tew & I showered separately.
- Khun Tew is 27YO.; comes from SOUTH of CHIANG MAI; speaks quite fair & conversational English; has been there just a few weeks as in his previous job - waiter in a BKK. restaurant - was too much hard work for little pay.
- Khun Tew started by wiping both of my feet with a COLD & lemon scented cloth. After that he spent MORE than 30mins. on my legs before moving up to my back which rec'd. LESS time before it was time to turn-over. Very little attention to those parts 'On Which the sun ... .'.
- He mentioned that he's a TOP - uncut & aprox. 5ins. LOA. - and doesn't really like to be smoked; just as I added that 'Hand jobs.' aren't really my favorite form of release. However, when it came to my sitting-up for him to massage my shoulders events conspired to prove us wrong - ha!
- I'd rate the massage at about 6/10; the after massage was pleasant but nothing out of the ordinary.
- After the end-of-massage showers I went downstairs and where I wasn't offered either tea or water.
- After giving Khun Tew his TIP. I was embraced & hugged warmly, and left with his and the other masseurs' voices pressing me to return soon.
- Overall impression is that the place is clean - but it pays to select one's masseur. The next day my farang friend went thither and chose the blonde-haired masseur; he vowed that he would not be applying his usual 'Three strikes' rule.' as a result.

Thank you for that helpful report. I've walked past that establishment many times, but somehow never tried it. I should make an effort to do so next time I'm in Pattaya.

I've been meaning to ask for a long time - what does "LOA" stand for?

As for your friend and his blonde choice, not applying the "three strikes rules" can mean two opposite things: It's so bad there is no second chance, or it's so good, the testing scheme is waived. Which is it?

-- Khun Sloot,
- LOA. is an abbreviation for Length OverAll; you may have come-across it when buying your luxurious sloop which I see moored in the bay - ha!
-Thank you - the overall massage and afters were so bad ... .

English Grammar: Reflexive Pronoun Always glad to assist, though Googling "reflexive pronouns" would probably achieve the same end.

So can the Pattaya people offer any news on the local scene, please.

Especially the two new go-go bars, and massage venues.

Thanks.
