Popular Post TMax Posted Tuesday at 01:44 AM Popular Post Posted Tuesday at 01:44 AM Just starting the thread now and will keep updating as I go. So on to Plan B this trip. Thai airways didn't let me down as the plane from Perth was late (as always it seems) but the crew, service, food and entertainment were all very good. On arrival (about 10:40pm) and after the long trek to immigration I was shown straight to the priority counter, I flew business class and as soon as they saw that I was escorted to priority and took all of 5 minutes to clear. Rest of immigration didn't look too crowded and maybe would have only taken 20 minutes or so to get through. I still hate that finger print rubbish though, just a thumb print would suffice but hey this is Thailand. Caught a taxi from down stairs, no hassles whatsoever, told him which hotel and he got it up on his mobile phone / maps app. Didn't try to rip me off and he made good time to the hotel so gave him a tip on top of the fare. Booked into Ibis Styles, got to the room and after a quick shower I crapped out for the night, took about 2 minutes to hit sleep mode. As stated before the rooms are small and in my view lacking some minor things (like wardrobe / cupboard etc) but still pretty good and comfortable, thinking next trip will be back at Tarntawan. Breakfast starts 6am but there was a fair crowd of Europeans in there, had a feeling they were in a tour group and getting an early start as there are 2 big busses outside. Hit Foodland to stock up the room. Plan for the rest of the day See if I can get my old Rabbit card reactivated and squeeze in a bit more shopping, this afternoon will be Senso for a 2 hour relaxing massage with extras. The rest will be fairly mundane stuff but also looking at plans for next couple of days. To be continued..... khaolakguy, Raposa, vaughn and 3 others 6 Quote

Papasan at Senso will try to influence your choice and pick for you, but try to stick with your gut feeling and pick the boy that smiles back to you. TMax, reader and floridarob 2 1 Quote

Popular Post TMax Posted yesterday at 02:59 AM Author Popular Post Posted yesterday at 02:59 AM Was too easy getting the Rabbit card set up again despite it not being used for about 5 years, took all of about one minute to get it done and topped up, no need for any form of identification required either. Senso: a bit different since long ago visit, this time the price was all inclusive of massage and boys tip payable on completion downstairs, previous for me was tip the boy in the room and then pay for massage session downstairs. Selected 120 minute aroma oil with a nice looking twink (getting there early there was only a few boys to choose from) and was taken straight to the room. Massage was actually quite good and not the usual oil up and rub all over type, he applied good pressure with a dry massage first before the oil came into play. The oil surprisingly was used properly, he put it on his hands before massaging (they way I believe it should be done) and he used it sparingly so I didn't feel like an oil slick afterwards, so massage was good quality. The afters weren't all that special, I wanted versatile or top but he was more bottom but such is life and he managed to finish the job with a smile and gave a thorough shower after so no lingering oily feeling. Total cost for the 120 minutes and tip was 3900 baht but because of the massage quality I slipped him a bonus upstairs and he was happy. XOne currency exchange had a good rate for the Aussie dollar (or south seas peso) but picked the wrong time of day to change some money there (late afternoon), it was packed (only takes 6 people to pack that tiny room😅) and a couple of locals had them busy with stacks of notes but got it done eventually. Finished up with a nice quiet evening after dinner at The Mango Tree restaurant, sorry but nothihg on the bars as that's really not my scene. vinapu, JimmyJoe, reader and 3 others 6 Quote
Members sydneyboy1 Posted yesterday at 03:15 AM Members Posted yesterday at 03:15 AM Could Bangkok regulars tell me how they rate Senso over Prince? Quote
Verchiele Posted yesterday at 03:17 AM Posted yesterday at 03:17 AM Thanks @TMax. Looking forward to read more reviews! 3900B for 2 hours seems to be in line with VCK Club it seems. But there you can select 1hr for total cost 2500B. How are the boy’s quality at senso? I cant seem to find their photos anywhere lol. This is the only shop that has no online presence at all. Quote

The boys I saw there were all rather good looking and for the most part had toned bodies (probably just the one that didn't take my eye), I would say a good mix of twinks and those with more muscular bodies but I didn't see any big muscular types. Going early, as to be expected, there wasn't too many there but by the time I was leaving quite a few had arrived and from what I saw a very nice gathering indeed.

I recently topped up my card and had to pay 50 Baht extra for a new card. Apparently they have to be renewed every 5 (or is it 7) years. No problem as it was getting a bit tatty anyway. TMax 1 Quote

It didn't look like it but they escorted me all the way to the right hand side, I suppose the fast track / priority counters (there was only the 2 counters there), I just showed them the business class boarding pass and away I went.

This is the only shop that has no online presence at all. I went there recently on a Saturday evening. Good choice of boys in the twink and twunk range. This is a somewhat upscale place so boys here are not rough like you might find in some Saphan Kwai places. Verchiele and TMax 2 Quote
