-- A few days ago my enthusiastic, middle-aged & American friend went to BENTO MASSAGE -
- addr.: SILOM TERRACE, 57/155, Soi Saladaeng 2.,
Silom, Bang rak, BKK. 10500.;
- loc'n.: SILOM TCE. is on opp. side of Soi S'daeng. to backside of SILOM COMPLEX SHOPPING PLAZA, (SCSP.), and nearer to SWISS LODGE HTL. on Soi convent; roughly facing SIVADON EXECUTIVE CARS & a multi-storey car-park bldg.; BENTO is right next to a drive-through into SILOM TCE.;
- dirn's.: from Si Convent is approx. 69yds.; from rear ent'ce./exit of SCSP. is roughly 85yds.; there is a pink on yellow BENTO sign over doorway;
- Google Earth co-ords.: roughly 100-32-04.E.x13-43-38.N.;
- tel.: (02)-630 4669.;
- web: Bento Oriental Spa & Massage @ SaLa Daeng
- e-mail: bentospa@msn.com
- hrs.: 11.-06.oo.;
- advert.: freebie & monthly MAX Magazine - IX.#85..

-- My friend arr'd. during mid-a'noon. to find but four masseurs on parade;
- The Recept'n. area is v. clean & comfortable - up-mkt. looking with fresh flowers and other similar touches;
- A gracious MamSan listened to his usual requirements, ('Masseur must have a big cock etc. etc.'), and asked wch. masseur would like to serve him?
- None volunteered, instead a discussion broke-out amongst them; eventually the M'San. detailed one of them - Khun Ex. - to go with the customer;
- Massage room just big enough for the std.-sized table with small surrounding space for the masseur; room contained a hand wash-basin. Good en suite ablutions & toilet area with running H&C. water, good sel'n. of soaps & suchlike; clean linen on massage-table; clean, soft & fluffy towels!
- A so-so massage;
- Afterwards the masseur had to be 'smoked' to achieve an erection so as to be able to put-on a Condom - for wch. he had to leave to room to obtain. A short session of about one minute before the masseur achieved an obviously faked orgasm; the Condom was whipped-off v. quickly before being tossed into the garbage bin.
- The masseur did not join his customer for an after-massage shower; but, having brought a cup of ginger tea, waited outside.
- Afterwards the M'San. was nowhere to be seen.
- My friend paid for a 60 mins. massage and was In & OUT in LESS than 50 mins.!
- NB.: I cannot remember whether my friend mentioned if there is a MINIMUM TIP's. policy there?

-- E&OE. as reported speech. --

-- Today, (08th.), morning I chanced to be in SILOM 64 Bldg. -
- loc'n.: on opposite side of Si Lom rd. to SCSP. & roughly opposite to the large 7/11. Bldg.; connected by a skybridge to BTS. Sala Daeng, (S2.),.
- Outside SAKURA HOLIDAY CO. is a stand for brchures wch. contains a brochure for BENTO MASSAGE wch. offers bearers a 15%. discount.
.

-- In SILOM 64 Bldg. is also THE BEST MASSAGE, (3rd. fl.), wch. has featured in this thread quite some time ago - I think that Khun Yannawa might have mentioned it.
- I dropped-in there to ask for a Business Card.
- While writing I noticed 4 prs. of shoes outside the door, so presumably there were 4 masseurs on call?
- The recept'n. area looked clean and smelt fresh.
- The 2 masseurs whom I saw are both on the younger & twinkier side of life.

Yes, I have mentioned Best a time or 2. Sometimes and now almost never, they have some cute lads outside. Lately they have not been outside except for a smoke. They are pretty much the only functioning business on that floor..strange that with a direct bridge to the BTS, this floor never thrives. Once the phony religious-stone-round-the-neck craze faded out a year or so back, it has been almost empty.
Usually the boys would be up for a little smoking inside during a Thai massage..certainly it would appear to be a better bet than Bento... financially at least.
One of my current favorites is Tantarwan(?) massage...one of the pair of foot massage places almost opposite Meridian on Surawongse. A new lad there gives good service (no name as this is not a sex massage place..officially).

Apparently this is a new massage venue although it is already showing some wear. Anyway, my Thai boyfriend and I each chose someone from a limited lineup of about 6 boys out of a possible 16 or so (according to the photo album initially shown to us). My choice was easy because the chemistry was mutual and instantaneous. The boy's name was Eak. Check him out on the web site River House Massage --- For men by men. I chose the 2 hour special massage including a scrub and then oil massage. Eak was very good. Maybe not as good in the massage department as the boy I had at Babylon a week earlier, but nevertheless still good. He stripped down to underwear for the first hour or so, but when it came to the oil massage, he was naked and quickly became aroused. Apparently he is a bottom, but I did not have the energy for active participation, so let him finish me with his mouth. I think he may have been a bit disappointed after an apparent build-up from my Thai boyfriend's briefing. And I may have vaguely promised to perhaps try him again the next day. He also mumbled something about me having a "Chiang Mai" boyfriend as well as one from Bangkok. Good heavens, these Thai boys are keen. Must be the smell of money.....

Thanks for the links to the gay pub / disco / coyote dancer show in Soi 8 and of course there are many venues (mostly straight) in the road linking Soi 8 and Soi 10.

I recently saw an add for a man4man massage venue within this complex but I was too slow to put it in my favorites. I'll go to Soi 8 and 10 on Friday evening and try some on the spot detective work.

Thanks again .

This web page shows a rough map:
THAIPUAN.COM A Community Magazine
But not sure how up to date it is as it shows V Club in it's old location.
The is no soi 10 anywhere close to the north east exit of Cultural Center MRT...or none that I could find. My Bangkok CD map shows soi 10 up north of and across the road from Robinsons...ie far from soi 8...after the angled T junction.

-- Seeing that I was there, (time being roughly 15.45.hrs.), I resolved to enter, ask to look-at their price-list of svces. and to ask for their Business Card.
- But no sooner was I seated than a pleasant looking young man brought me a refreshing & cool drink, and the Mamasan, Khun Detch, - plumpish & middle aged, speaks fair enough English - plumped himself next to me and started to extol the svces., the masseurs and so on and so forth.
- Well, what's one to do in such circumstances except to yield gracefully to the inevitable? 'When rape's inevitable open your legs ... .'.
- So I asked the M'san. for a masseur who's relaxed with farangs, who is prepared to give a good 9O mins. & oil-massage -price 7OO.Bh. - and enjoys the after-massage pleasures.
- The M'san. opened the photo.-album and shewed me Khun Wan: 29YO. from Lao. Far be it from me to dispute the M'san's. recommendation.
- The MINIMUM TIP. is 800.Bh.;
- The massage room - up a few steps - is aprox. 15'x15'., std. sized massage table with clean bed-linen upon it, no hole for head but towels folded-up as a small pillow, some other furniture, an air-cond.; a small room off for the shower with H&C. and with a soap dispenser - no hawng nahm en suite. Towel, clean smelling & fluffy;
- Khun Wan stripped-off - a muscular body in good shape but facially not eye-candy!, large tattoo on RIGHT shoulder & smaller ones on chest & on back - had a shower, turned-down the illumination, and started to massage me.
- We chatted, his English is fair enough, he used to work in FUTURE BOYS - Soi Twilight - and has been working as a masseur for about 1 month. Is a king/Man/top and is equally happy with either a man or a women.
- I'd rate the massage at say 6/10..
- I'll allow the hand of discretion to draw the veil of silence over our post-massage activities.
- Afterwards - a full 90 mins. - we showered together, something wch., I gathered, few others of his customers do.
- Back in Recept'n. a cup of hot tea and a chat with the M'san. who enquired solicitously about the massage and my satisfaction?
- Presently 10masseurs on strength.
- Nearly all customers are Thais.
- I left, resolved to walk-along to MRT. Huai Kwang, (ent'ce./exit 2.), with ringing requests for my speedy return!
