"VCK Cool Space" is the rebranded name of the former V Club 7. It's on Soi Ari 4, about a 5-10 minute walk from the Ari BTS station. It's connected to Chakran Sauna. (Chakran has a reputation for being not particularly welcoming of farang. I can't confirm that, but beware. However, I certainly felt welcomed at the massage shop.) They are active on Line. website I am 100% sure VCK has it's fans. It just happens I'm not one of them. I used to live in the neighborhood and really tried to make a go if it. I keep trying, but it's just not for me. The good news is that they've spent a bit of time and money renovating the sauna and the lounge area. Now you enter in the front through the same entry as the sauna, and you will get ushered into the lounge/bar area. The back of the room is a tiered area where the guys are there for your selection. On a weeknight at about 6:00 there were 10-12 guys. All about mid-20s to early 30s. Not a twink in sight. Some shirtless, some not. I had previously booked a guy on Line. The booking was handled efficiently if ultimately unproductively because the guy I booked didn't go in to work that day. An hour or so ahead of time I was informed of that and picked a different guy, no less attractive. Now for the bad news - the room/house charge for a basic room is comparable to other high-end shops, but the minimum tip is substantially higher. ABOUT 30% HIGHER. Tip for a 90 minute massage at Prince is 1,500. At VCK it's 2,000. (Basic room is 950. At Prince it would be 1,100 for a slightly larger room.) I think the minimum tip for 1 hour at Prince is 1,200 and at VCK it's 1,500 - so 25% more at VCK (!!!). When I made the 90 minute selection I looked the manager in the eye and asked him if he was sure the guy I had picked could really do a 90 minute massage, and he said yes. Aaaaaaaaaargh. Getting to the actual massage room is a hike with lots of stairs. Because the whole thing is jumbled up with the sauna, it's a bit of maze to get to the room. The rooms are perfectly functional with a pad on a slightly elevated "bed" that completely fills it's little nook. There's a mirror on the wall and a nice shower. Shower alone before and after. Long long wait after getting showered for the guy to get back to the room to start the massage. Naked throughout. The massage was pretty much the definition of mediocre. Wasn't horrible. Was not good. Very soft. A bit of contortion stretching which is ok but just wasn't done really right. I think this is the sort of massage you get from guys who learn by watching a couple of youtube vids and maybe, just maybe, get a lesson or two. Halfway through the guy took another bathroom break (that's an observation, not a complaint).. Then flip over, a little bit of leg work and an ok happy ending. Showered alone after. The guy was very cute. Naked throughout. Nice personality. Didn't use too much oil. All good. The bad is the massage was barely mediocre and I was out on the street in 65 minutes. After showering, long wait for him to start, then showering and dressing and getting out, that left about 45 minutes max for the massage. And this is very much consistent with the other times I've been there. (Yes of course I could get out my watch and tell him no another 30 minutes, but he had exhausted his repertoire of limited massage skills and, frankly, why hang out when you know he thinks he's done.) If the shop charged less than the others, I probably wouldn't mind. But if you are going to charge a premium price, then you have to offer better services. It has to be a good massage, or -- as far as I am concerned -- a mediocre but enthusiastic massage for the full time. I don't expect these guys to be great. But you can't be mediocre and short-change. Here the charge was 30% more than Prince, but I've never felt so quite short-changed at Prince. Because I had specifically mentioned the 90 minutes to the manager, and got his assurances, I sent the manager a Line message pointing out how short the massage was. He couldn't be bothered to answer. A simple answer like "Ooops, we'll make sure you get the full 90 minutes next time" is all he needed to do. But no. (This also makes me wonder if my original so-called booking (no show) was just a fake. But that's just speculation.) So the manager's good at booking but not really at follow up. And had he followed up with me, I probably wouldn't written this review, or would have given it a different spin. Or, all he had to do when asked is say that the guy is better for just a 60 minute massage, and I would have done that and been happy as a clam. A more pleasant example to the contrary: The other day I was over at Sanctuary Spa and was making my selection and we had narrowed it down a bit and I mentioned to the manager that I really wanted to be sure the guy could give a good 90 minute massage. He thoughtfully changed his recommendation and the guy turned out to be great. He knew that some of his guys might not have the skills for 90 minutes, and because he's a pro and wants his customers happy, he actually took it into account. Every time I go back to this place I have the same negative experience there. Now that they have raised their prices to be so much more expensive than any of the other shops - and still providing crappy mediocre service - I just give up on the place. Skip it.
