Guest jimnbkk Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 I just had a nice massage at a gay massage place in Jomtien Complex. I guess it's not kosher to name the place, but it's near Dick's Cafe and the boys wear white shorts. The massage was good, but when I went to retrieve my clothing out of the "locked" locker, I discovered my wallet had somehow migrated from my right rear pocket to the front left pocket, in with my cell phone. I had (stupidly it turns out) hit the ATM before my massage, and when I discovered my wallet in the wrong pocket, I checked the money and found 2000 baht missing (at least maybe more, but I hadn't counted for sure before I went in there). Of course, the proprietor denied that there was another key to the locker, and he was adamant that money could not have gone missing. I paid, tipped the boy, and left. Now, here I am, really annoyed and feeling stupid. If you go to that place, be careful, they aren't a "nice" as they would like you to think. Quote

I have never been to that particuar place, but I have been to the other one on the next soi. If/when I go again I think I will take my own lock with me. Can't be too safe! Or is that paranoia? Quote

If/when I go again I think I will take my own lock with me. Can't be too safe! Or is that paranoia? Better be safe than sorry. I hate people stealing , even if it is a penny. I just can't stand it. Sorry it did happen But I am totally believe it can happen.....that's a sad part... Quote
Guest jimnbkk Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 On "the other board" I've divulged that the massage place was Duo (just in case somebody hadn't figured it out already). Somebody also suggested we boycott the place for a while. Maybe it's a good idea? Show them we don't like being taken advantage of in quite such an intrusive way. We get it every day one way or another either from a boy or from some venue that charges farang more than Thai. I can live with this more subtle form of theft, but not the blatant kind I was subjected to at Duo. Quote
