I forgot to include a photo of the Prince massage room.
I noticed that there is a bottle of Listerine Mouth Wash at the basin. It is very thoughtful of them to have it there so that client & boy could freshen up their breath before engaging in deep kissing.
Day 3
Chatuchak Weekend Market
Checked out of Glitz at 9.30am & left my luggage at the counter.
Since it was a Sunday, I decided to visit Chatuchak Weekend Market. The taxi outside the hotel quoted me 600 bht, another taxi 400 bht. A quick search reveals that I could just take BTS from Sala Daeng to Mo Chit station (42 bht). Reached there by 10am, followed the crowd & walk toward the market. I spent two hours walking around, shopping, drinking & eating. Tried the Original Coconut Ice cream (40 bht) & the Roasted Pork (140 bht for 200g) etc.
By 12 noon, I made my way back to the BTS station. It was literally packed with people / tourist just arrived & trying to squeeze their way out of the station. Hence, a good time to visit the market would be before 10am, preferably at 9am, to avoid the crowd.
Back to the hotel, took my luggage & walked a short distance over to Tarntawan hotel & check-in for the 3rd night stay. It was a good idea (an idea I got off from Vinapu’s post) to try different hotels & have a chance to review more hotels, even for short trips . I booked the deluxe room & was upgraded to an even bigger room.
Bonny Massage
At 1.30pm, I walked over to Soi Pratuchai or Soi Twilight. I wanted to try Bangkok Massage ‘cos from what I remembered from the 1st night there were quite a few masseurs with nice body available. It must have been too early ‘cos there was no one sitting outside. There was a boy at Bonny Massage. I went upstair & 4 petite boys were available for selection. None of the boys was what I am looking for and so I asked who is Sokchai (at least he is certified to be good). But Sokchai went back his hometown. Finally, I asked for the most experienced person and I think his name is “Golf”. Took 1hr massage (600bht; min tip 600bht). The massage was done on a thin mattress placed on top of a raised platform. The pillow (filled with beans or seeds) was a little too hard & thick.
Nearing the end of the session, the boy asked if I wanted extras. He quoted 2,000bht (inclusive of the massage fee). I thought it was too pricey and the boy was not my type and hence I declined the offer. Massage (6/10), Afters (NIL).
The Prime Massage
At 4pm sharp, I arrived at the Prime massage for my appointment: 1hr Thai massage + 1hr Oil (600bht paid during booking; min. tip 100bht).
The masseur led me up a few flight of stairs to the topmost (4th floor) & to the furthest room.
As per what Anddy had described in previous post, for the 1st part of the massage, the client will have to change into the loose “pajamas” provided. From the first contact of the masseur’s finger/hand on my back, I could tell that the masseur was really well trained & experienced. His hands/fingers were firm, strong & warm. His moves were well executed and non-hesitant. My body felt so relaxed after each strong presses or skilful stretches. After the 1hr Thai massage, I was then told to remove my clothing to continue the 2nd part (oil massage). It was also a very relaxing and strong massage. During the whole session, there wasn’t a slightest hint that there might be any HE. It was a purely professional massage done right. I tried to chat with the masseur and maybe extract a warm embrace from him. But he couldn’t speak any English and he left me to change pretty quickly. After the massage, down at the lounge, I was offered a hot lemongrass tea drink & hot towel. I tipped the masseur “Don” 600 bht on exit. Massage (9/10). Based on my conversation I had with the masseur on the following day, the masseur will get 200bht out of the 600bht for the 2hr massage.
Based on my experience, I think if you want a strong massage, choose a package from the menu that includes "Thai" massage. Those who is qualified to deliver good "Thai" massage must have enough strength & finger pressure to do all the acupuncture points presses.
Outdoor Night Bazaar (Along Silom Road)
Walking out of the Prime massage, I decided to search for a restaurant to eat. I walked towards the BTS direction & discovered that the whole stretch of Silom Road was blocked for the outdoor night bazaar (possibly only at weekend or Sunday?). Lots of stalls selling all kinds of stuffs, clothes, food, drinks etc.
I walked around trying out the local delicacies e.g. the braised pig feet (45 bht)
There were street performers. I saw two person dressed in Superman & Batman costumes, pacing around in search of some bad villains. I had to tip them a little (50 bht) for their effort.
Tawan Bar - 2nd visit
This was my last night in Bangkok and I planned to off someone in Tawan. So at around 9.30pm, I walked over to Tawan bar, paid 400bht entry fee and order a bottle of mineral water. The 2nd boy from last night JO show was seated less than an arm length away. As I felt bad about last night of not tipping the 2nd boy instead, I immediately tipped him 100bht & thanked him for his great performance. We shaked hands & he sat close to me & chat a little.
Among the boys available that night, I spotted “Lun” among the boys on the stage posing (...I think it is him ). He would be my fantasy come true if I offed him. But I thought he is so unattainable … at least for now … for now I should lower my expectation & look for someone less popular & perhaps less demanding & more accommodating. I waved the mamasan over & tried to pick his brain. As I wanted to try a long time off, I thought it would be easier if I choose a Tawan boy who is not yet married. As I recalled, some of the posts mentioned that most Tawan boys are str8 & couldn’t really do long time off ‘cos they have to go back to their wives or girlfriend after each night’s work. I had hope those who have girlfriend might be less required to do so. The mamasan told me all of them are married … that dashed my hope of a long offed.
The mamasan was too quick to make that comment ‘cos later when I point at 2 other boys, he told me they are still single. I promptly choose one of the boys and the mamasan got him over in a jiffy. The boy sat very close to me with his body leaning against mine. I could immediately feel his body warmth through his skin contact. It was a great feeling. I was actually amazed at how the boy’s body temperature could be so warm while wearing only the posing brief in an air-con room. We talked and I inquired about his rate for the short & long off. It seemed to be the standard rate for now i.e. 2000 short, 3000 long. I didn’t bother to negotiate as I am unsure of how Tawan boys would react to trimming a few hundred bhts. Finally, I have decided to offed him. So I tip the mamasan 100 bht for his help, paid 500bht bar fine, and be out of Tawan bar by 10:15pm before the show even started.
We walked back to the hotel, though I didn’t have the courage to grab his hand & hold hands like a loving couple… haha … I will have to try that next time. The lady at the hotel reception gave me a knowing smile. The boy passed his ID to the guard by the lift and up we went to my room. Suffice to say, we had a lot of cuddling, some light kissing & so on. Given that I admitted to not knowing what to do with the extra half hour if I choose a 1.5hr massage, I quickly realized that I also didn’t really know what to do after sex. Perhaps someone could give me some guidance?
The boy could speak some conversational English but not very fluent. Although he claimed that a certain farang sponsored him to a 60hr English course, he told me he could only remember some of the things taught in the course.
The only thing I could think of was more cuddling during sleep. But that actually was quite uncomfortable for an extended period of time. My arms will be numb and I couldn’t really fall asleep with someone breathing so close to me and I could feel his heart beat. I suspect it was the same for the boy. At around 2:15am, after some texting in the dark, the boy dressed up and announced he has to leave ‘cos his girlfriend texted him. I was a little disappointed but at the same time I was relieved that finally I can get some real sleep alone. The boy offered to reduced the off fee to 2500bht. I paid him & he kissed me goodbye and left. I think that Sunday night was Valentine Day and it was understandable that his girlfriend also want to spend some time with him. The boy identity would be kept as a secret. All in all, it was OK for my first offed but not as memorable as I would like it to be.
