Spa Sathorn

[DivineMadman]

Spa Sathorn is an M4M massage spa a short walk from Chong Nonsi BTS station.  It doesn't seem to get reports on this forum.

 

I got there about 6:30 on a weekday evening and there seemed to be about 8-12 or so guys milling about. I was ushered into the front room and the manager was very nice and promptly showed me a tablet with photos to select from.  I think overall the guys are typical for the larger locally-focused shops - better looking than average, but not all necessarily model looks.  Mostly more manly types.  

 

There was no price list or menu - which may simply be that there wasn't one in English or that they just don't have one, or that they just didn't show it to me.  I knew what I wanted so I didn't really care.  One hour oil massage 700 baht.  No mention of minimum tip.

 

The facilities are a tad bit run-down/basic, but the towels were clean and large and nice quality, water in the shower hot.  Massage table in room with shower.  Shower alone before and after.

 

The masseur entered wearing a towel, he dropped before starting the massage.  During the massage he was naked throughout and used all the appropriate opportunities to let his junk rest/brush against me when he was giving the massage, which I like and wish more guys did.

 

Massage started with legs, as usual.  Paid more attention to butt/glutes than most.  Very nice.  

 

Flip over and move to "special services" were excellent.   There's a review on travelgayasia.com that says the masseur was more interested in his own happy ending than the customer's - in may case I would say it was more like 50-50 equality on that front, which was nice.  (At some of the more high-volume shops I think the masseur will often try not to come so he can quickly go back into the pool.)

 

There was no mention of a minimum tip so I gave I think 1,200  (1,000 for a basic 1 hour massage plus extra because I liked the extra effort he put in.)

 

Overall I liked the place.  It's not fancy at all.  But, like Arena, is just a simple no nonsense place for manly men having man sex.  I would recommend being extra clear up front what you are looking for at the time of selection (top/bottom/both).  

 

Location:  I've submitted the correction to Google Maps, but note that travel gay asia and other maps seem to have the location wrong.  It is on the first cross alley running parallel to the main drag, not alley 10.

This spa sounds like an appropriate place in my next trip to get initiated into getting massaged.  I like the idea of a nude masseur making frequent contact with his (nice) junk. 

 

I even think that spas should offer "instructive mutual massage" where customer can get some exercise repeating on the nude masseur whatever technique he uses on him, like a teaching by example, with the mutual massage progressively becoming more intimate until it ends in pure happiness

Thanks for continuing to be the "Michelin" of Massage.

Thanks.  Sometimes I hesitate to post because, with massages as in most rather intimate experiences, "individual results may differ."  So any reports I make I best relied on for big picture, rather certainty that every masseur follows same techniques.

'individual results may differ'!

 

How true that is.

How true that is.

still it's good to have all those leads so we can go and try for ourselves

Yes, starting nude is a good start. I like skin-on-skin contact much better than clothes in between. And instant access.

 

In Pattaya, I once had a massage and towards the end the masseur, still fully dressed, was above my knees, out of reach, and asked if I want a handjob. Not at all my idea of happy ending, so I declined.
