midkemia Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Magic Hands review: I was told the original Thai owner Chatree has sold his business to a Chinese Indonesian. The place is oldish near to Pinnacle. The masseur started sensual right after the warm up. His English was quite good surprisingly but the massage was mostly sexual in nature than therapeutic. Skills - 5/10 Ambience - 6/10 Value - 5/10 Quote

Silom Road. 026351953 and 0996494992. Was looking at the soap heaven shop opposite and they have no guy therapist. The staff told me there us 1 one opposite with guy therapists. Went in and realized it's a man by man massage place... 400 bht for 60 min oil massage. With attached bath. Not luxurious place but for that price OK... Skill OK. I tried Best Massage and to me, best it was not at all. The place looks run down. The shower area had no lights. The door to the room could not close properly. The massage was mostly slathering of oil on me. Will never go again. Quote
midkemia Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 S'Sense massage review: Tried a newly opened (3 months' old) shop. I've had the owner massage me before last year and I knew he wanted to open his own shop. It is quite a distance to walk from the nearest BTS Sala Daeng - a good 15 mins walk until you know the direction, it would be faster your way back. Location is bad unless you take a bike or tuk tuk. The owner is very friendly. 1000b for oil, 1300b for aroma for 2 hours. Comes with private room with attached bathroom. The masseur's English was poor but adequate. Skills - 6/10 (nothing like the owner's style) Ambience - 7.5/10 Value - 5/10 (lowered due to poor location) Quote

bkkuser Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 many thanks for your helpful massage reviews! One small comment on S'Sense though: 1 hour ago, midkemia said: S'Sense massage review: Value - 5/10 (lowered due to poor location) You are right it is a bit far from the BTS, but easy if you take a motorcycle. Also, Suan Phlu is a very lively and lately trendy neighbourhood, so some people would even say this is a great location, not a poor one! Quote
Sudu Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 A quick google, u can cut short walking time if u take bts to chong nonsi and then take the brt, one station only. Quote

Yes I could have taken the bike which I am grateful for not taking as it poured down like crazy suddenly so I would have been caught in the rain on the bike. Also witnessed a pillion rider fall off a bike just the night before. Didn't know Suan Phlu is considered a trendy neighbourhood. Just my personal opinion it is not that accessible. I personally don't want to walk that distance to pay more. Locals probably know more transport options. bkkuser 1 Quote

I chatted with the owner online on the shortest way to get to his shop and he said Sala Daeng on a bike or walk. Not taken BRT before so that's good to explore if I want to go back. Quote

sdniw Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 any advice for a solo traveler to bangkok ? heading there 25-28jun. ha how safe is it to walk around at night ? Quote
Garyl Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) Hi all, r3 still closed last weekend. not sure what happened. Silom is somewhat quiet then before: 1) dj closes 2am and not later nowadays. 2) dj drinks taste sweet like strong syrup water. stopped drinking after 2 sips. 3) heard that old boss sold away. 4) G bangkok closes at 3am now, allowed only an hour later then official close. 5) patpong night market stores closes around 2 or 3 am. much earlier then in the past. 6) the girls of the bars now sits along the road. no more walking freely attracting customers. 7) a few pairs of police /soldier around the area. making everyone increasing conscious of one's behavior. 8) a lot of locals said that things much different then before with the military govt. 9) hardly can find mobile goods or food vendors then before. at this rate, i think many would do something else as cant survive with the reduced income and stricter penalties levied for offences.

I stay at the Marriott and it’s within a stone’s throw and there are some big name hotels nearby such as Banyan Tree. So one can’t really say their location is bad, maybe just not the best. What I like about them is their service and environment. Kinda gives me the “Spa” feel but at normal massage shop prices. Nice and very clean rooms and towels. Skills of their masseuse is definitely one of the better ones. Mostly importantly, they are genuine. I’ve been to so many other shops for “aroma” oil massage, asked to choose the fragrance and end up with totally zero smell! At S’Sense, I get such a huge range of imported essential oils to choose from and they really use it on customers. Serious and honest. Definitely worth a try. Quote

Depends on where you want to go, saunas and massage places you can get from this thread... shopping will be another... To me, it’s quite safe for a guy to walk alone in BKK; as precaution just avoid dark alleys and politely ignore strangers who approach you out of the blue and walk away(don’t linger) 1st time alone? Pm me if you need any information but then there are a lot of seasoned travellers here to give advice =) sangfroid87 and sdniw 2 Quote
