visited K-why with friend for massage service. It was like application of cream( Nivea) on your body without massage. Think I can do that myself. Anyway, the whole thing last about half and hour. The boy ask for B1000 and the charges for room B500 and lockerB150. Anyone have the same experience or is it normal practice. Will definitely not visit the place again. Any comment guys or am I expecting too much.

well hotbob, the idea is probably not too xpect too much for the massage itself. As many of the male massage parlours hire guys with very little or no xperience et al in giving good massage. However, you should tell them upfront if you are indeed want a massage instead of just cream application, sometimes they do have one or two guys that better in rubing your muscle the way you like it.
From my experience you should try SANCTUARY. It is run/owned by few guys who previously work @ the infamous Oriental Spa. I think the masage and service is just great and worth your baht! Its not far from Lumpini stadium. Small but Very clean and cozy interior.

Just so there's no confusion, I want to stress that The Sanctuary is NOT a sex place. It is for serious massage, nothing else.

(I agree, K-Why sucks!)

yes if you want a great masssage and traditional style then go to Sanctuary on Rama 4 soi across from Lumpini Tower (252 8846) ground floor first condo building on right.

By the way, I still believe that Khun O-lay at Hero gives the best massage in town -- whether "legit" or not. Not a bad bj, either!

Well, I did make known to the manager that I want a good massage. He assured me that this particular boy is indeed very good in massage. So, what can I say but dishonest.

It seems to me you were taken for a ride at K-Why. The usual fees at massage places seem to be 500 for a room, 500 for a massage, and an extra 500 for sex. Its not clear whether you got any sex. If not you should only have paid 1000 total not 1500.
And even if you had paid 1000 you obviously got bad value.
My Thai friends tell me if the service is not up to scratch, especially if your "on site" you should complain and decline to pay, or pay less. However sometimes this is hard to do, as you may not want an argument.
Your comment re the Captain illustrates something that is common at Massage places and Bars. The Captain's often have favourites, guys who give them kickbacks or sex, in turn for a recommendation.
This is very frustrating for a number of good guys I know, who tend to take the matter into their own hands and introduce themselves to a customer. Needless to say the Captains don't like this.
My impression is that many guys in bars and massage places are not getting that many customers at present, given that the service they provide should be value for money. It seems it is up to us to make our thoughts known directly also to management, in the hope of some improvements.

I;ve been trying to locate Sanctuary for ages but still couldn't find it. Is it actually on the same side of the road as the Lumpini Stadium or the Lumpini Tower? I have looked around on the same side as the Lumpini Stadium, in a soi opposite across the street of Lumpini Tower, which has a lot of street vendors---is it that soi??? Thanks!

Otello, yes it is on the same side of Rama 4 as Lumpini Boxing and it is the soi with all the vendors across the street from Lumpini Tower and Bangkok Bank is on the cornor. go down that soi and Sanctuary is on the right, ground floor in the first condo building (Rama 4 House). if it helps, the phone number for Sanctuary is 252-8846

Thanks a lot foreplay! That really helps! I hope I can find it today!!! Cheers!

I have finally tried Sanctuary. Not bad, though I agree with icon513 that the best massage I ever had was really at Hero with O lay. And it is not true that Sanctuary is a totally serious massage place, cos the massuer did actually played with my dick delibrately and jerked me off and let me play with his dick at the end. Though of course dont expect anything more than that I guess!

Otello, was it willa that gave you the massage at sanctuary? the guys also gave massage service at the silom city health club.

I don;t know his name but I gather that he used to work at the Ambassador Hotel's gym about 1 year ago. He is medium dark skin and pretty fit. So Bulging, tell me more about this Willa please......
