Went to Janpa this afternoon at 5.30pm. Two customers were leaving and one arrived just before me. Busier than 69 was before. Had a photo book to select masseur. 1hour massage is Bht500. No mention of minimum tip. I had 30 min scrub with 1 hour massage. Masseur's clothes came off during massage - no asking of what tip I was going to give - Hero/ Albury type service and showered together at end. If anything we ran over time. Hot tea and water offered at the end. I will be back.

You got better service than I did. I wasn't showered.

Hoping to do some clean-up/housekeeping with my blog this morning, I'm just wondering if anyone knows whether Andy's Man (Silom) is still in business? It was such a dump I never went back since my one and only visit in 2005.

-- Today, (05th.), forenoon I rec'd. a 'phone.-call about a visit made y'day. late a'noon. to FAN CLUB.:
- Tnn. Convent, (off Si Lom rd.);
Bang rak, BKK. 10500.;
- loc'n.: down small sub-soi roughly opp. to MOLLY MALONE's Irish pub.;
- (09)-631 1442.;
- http://www.fanclubmassage.com
- Sala Daeng,(S2.),/Silom..

-- The well-endowed khun BEE was requested and was avail.; but he was no longer 'fresh.' at that time of day.

-- Gen'l. impression is that that estab. is in a state of some disrepair, several lts. not functioning;
- Shower area smelt of urine, as though it was used as an hawng nahm;
- Maybe as many as 8 masseurs avail.; but there was another asleep who was left undisturbed!
- Three strikes rule was applied - NEGATIVE.

As places nearby on Silom and Surawong charge about half these rates I'm guessing (but it's just a guess mind you) that this is an excuse for hanky panky!

Did anyone go there in its previous incarnation and can report on the cleanliness of the facilities etc.?

-- Others, apart from myself, have visited and reported upon TUARUS MASSAGE - the reports are all there.

This is not related to sex ormassage but it might be useful to those who frequently visit Thailand and buy a sim card to use there. I remember reading posts about you guys having to buy a new sim card whenever you arrive Thailand as the old one is already expired. I used to do this too but on my recent trip to Bangkok, I went to the DTAC counter at the arrival level. I enquired the boy working there if there is anyway I can extend the validity of my sim card. I was told I can do this by paying 2baht per month and the longest one can extend is 1year. Later, you can do the extension again. I am not sure about those using True or AIS but I think it can be done if you check at their counter in the airport.
So, now I am rather happy as I can give my mobile nbr to the boys and not worrying if it will be still serviceable on my next trip.
Cheers.

it is definitely a sex massage place, cold water only in the one communal shower, lockable drawer in room, massage bed is actually thin foam mat on bare concrete floor, all masseurs "do everything" though some not very willingly, some youngish guys hanging around - I assume they are in training for when they come of age!

That's what I was after. As several posters had commented on the "refurbishment" of Tuarus, I didn't think going back and reading what the Tuarus facilities were like would provide sufficient information. However I did find one post that mentioned 2 hot water showers as well as 1 cold water shower. It certainly does not sound very inviting - a bit like the upstairs rooms as several of those Soi 6 bars. I guess if I really like the look of one of them I can arrange for a massage in my room at Tarntawan Hotel (arrive 18th).

Any place that states a minimum tip must have hanky-panky. [Problem is you won't know what hanky-panky is involved, and sometimes (often, in fact) the boy is not into hanky-panky.] In such a place, the tip is all the boy gets. He gets nothing from the establishment. I have also heard that some places require the boy to pay the establishment for the customers they get.
