Is this thread dying? I hope not - I am not sure that I can inject a lot of life into it, but I will do my best with 2 reports from this week...
Prime - once again, no offer to choose my masseur. I took the 2 hr oil massage for 650 baht. The room was on the 1st floor with a somewhat grubby but acceptable shower room at the back. The massage was not actually that great - the boy started with his shirt off, trousers on, but for some reason slipped his shirt back on just before asking me to turn over. His English was as non-existent as my Thai, and his massage skills were also rather limited, seeming to consist mainly of long strokes with no manipulation or strategic pressing. I guess I will go back to Prime soon enough but that was one encounter that will not be the one to encourage me back. I also visited Fan Club this week for the first time in a couple of years. It remains exactly as I remember it - lots of bare concrete and pressed steel. I cannot remember whether this place or Suvarnabhumi opened first, but certainly one seems to have influenced the design of the other. As the last time, I was led up to the first floor with its large picture window overlooking the gym area. About 8 boys lined up for me to choose from. I choose a small, athletic lad called Ta for a 90 minute salt scrub and cream massage. His massage was not bad - just not one of those that leaves you feeling relaxed and that you were treated by a professional. His other skills were much better, and he was enthusiastic towards making me happy. After the massage, I was led down to the ground floor and I suddenly remembered why I had not been for so long. As with the last time, I was basically led into a group of lads who were playing 'confuse the farang' - lots of laughing and joking around me in a very small room, one guy asking for 1000 baht for the massage - more than was on the original menu, but I could not remember exactly how much the original price was. As the chatter increased, I decided not to challenge them but paid up, plus 1200 for a tip for Ta. Maybe I will check it out again in another couple of years.

Strange experience! I have been there about 8 times over a few years, and never had anything but usual behaviours, both in and out of the rooms. The mamasan (Bobby?) seems to try harder and be more genuine than many, in my experience.
