A few more days in Bangkok

[Nasherich]

Had a few days in Bangkok en route somewhere else, so I thought I'd indulge in a few massage places I hadn't previously tried and I'm happy to share my experiences.

 

First up was Art Massage, a shop along the Surawong road (same side as Tarntawan Place). I chose this as I took a liking to the boy sitting outside. He showed me up to the second floor, with separate rooms (though walls not fully up to ceiling height), and a single shower room along the same corridor. As I appeared to be the only customer, I took a risk at leaving my clothes and money in the room while I took a shower.

 

It was a good massage, with just the right mix of actual massage and sensual/erotic moves that keep you interested throughout.

 

At one point, he asked me if I was gay and then affirmed that he was too. Armed with that information, he shed his own clothes shortly afterwards and the final part of the session was concluded with some mutually enjoyable fun. Overall, an excellent time.

 

For a potentially different experience, I booked a session at Dr Bear in Sukhumvit. Making the arrangements via WhatsApp was easy enough, and the place is upmarket by general standards. In fact, so was the massage, a selection of Ob-orn and Organ II which I selected on the clipboard I was given at the start.

 

For two hours, it was a combination of bliss and some of the unexpected, a truly professional experience. I've had something similar in London for four times the price. Expensive for Bangkok, mind, but I thought it good value.

 

Another day resulted in total frustration: I thought I'd go to S52, only to find when I got to the premises that it's closed with another occupant there. I thought I'd searched around on the forum to check it was still operating and I don't recall any reference to it's closure. As I was in the right area, I thought I'd visit Boys Club, one stop further down the line. But although as it turned out, I was right outside, the lack of any sort of sign, made me doubt, and confused by some out of date addresses and telephone numbers provided by Google, I gave up. After all, you don't want to randomly slide back doors without having some assurance it's the right place.

 

I did, however, return to Boys Club a couple of days later, spurred on by some good reports and useful information provided by other members.

 

When I went, Sunday lunchtime, there was only one boy on duty. I was happy enough although the boy didn't speak Thai or English which made communication a little difficult. I tried to request 90 minutes oil massage (having not been asked or given a price at reception) but after some false starts, the boy said he could only do 60 but 'would try'. This didn't exactly help my mood and I came to the conclusion that the session would be a bit of a dud. His massage skills were ok, but it was lacking any kind of sexual tension which, of course, makes the experience exciting, even though he was also naked from the start. After he'd done my legs and bum, he asked me to turn over, at which point I thought I'd try and move things up a gear. As a trained masseur myself, I got more actively involved, something which got the session going and the boy joined in very enthusiastically. He was a sweet lad (with a great cock) and we both ended up very happy.

 

I think it goes to show that sometimes the best experiences are when you least expect it.

 

In general, I, for one, tend to prefer going to the 'less obviously gay' places (like Art above) where you're not sure how things will pan out, and so you're pleasantly surprised when they turn out well. Plus you're likely to have had a good massage along the way.

Some people are like that. Like to go and not sure how things will turn out. Not me. When I'm spending my money, I want to know exactly what I'm spending my money on. I can see the other side though.

I'm like Nasherich, I like the suspense And I like a good massage, for that matter, so I always leave "happy" one way or another  

 

For everyone's info: Art massage apparently has 2 branches, as I drove by I saw one right next to Soi Twilight, in addition to the one in front of Tarntawan.

 

@Nasherich: who did the massage at Dr. Bear Sukhumvit? I understand that there it's Stephane the (French I believe) owner. True or is there other staff as well?

[Guest whall]

Is art massage the place right in front of tarntawan as you walk to the street? I thought it was green massage?

[Guest whall]

I understand where you guys are coming from. I just like everything to be completely laid out when I'm spending money. So everyone knows the expectations.

[Guest 777ckl]

What is the Organ I or II massage ?

[ggobkk]

Art Massage is to the left of the Tarntawan driveway, where the ice cream parlor used to be.  I has a massage there in mid_September and would agree 100% with the Naserrich's description.

I'm like Nasherich, I like the suspense

me too, sure disapointments happen but overall it's more fun for me to see what will happen.

 

It's why I like to fix time and compensation up front but everything else leave to a gut and a chance, no "what you do", 'top/bottom', 'how big' etc questions, we see all when we close door and undress

It was Stephane. I'm not sure what the other guys do or when.

well yes Green massage is there, too, just adjacent to Art, i.e. a little bit more to the left of Tarntawan driveway.

that's the thing, you don't spend any money in a normal massage shop (other than for the massage itself). I.e. if nothing happens, no extra spending aka tip. If things (aka extras) happen, you will tip accordingly. So no risk of wasted money

[dozzie]

kind of like the suspense and thus far various places (in different cities) have had different results! some disappointing, others... exciting!

[Guest whall]

Decent point about not spending money unless extras. Although, since the extras is all I really want, I really need a sure thing.

[ChristianPFC]

As for places that you can't find or that might have moved: ask other people who are around. Speaking Thai helps, so does a picture of the shop or name written down in Thai.

 

A while ago, it happened twice to me that I went to a sauna to find it closed (some out-of-the-way place with some time and money involved getting there), now I always call (preferably landline) to ask if they are open before I go to such places.
