Can you elaborate? In 2001 to be precise I had a massage there from the most stunning looking Thai man I have ever laid eyes on. It was magical in every way. The experience was not repeated on a few subsequent visits. I haven’t been there years and the venue doesn’t get the mention that Prince, Senso and Arena does on this forum. Up to date information welcome and appreciated.

Well let's see, where to start. Firstly, it's a walk in shop. You don't make an appointment based upon possible inaccurate photos. Instead, you go ijn and have a seat, order something to drink if you like. Standing on the podium in front of you will be 15 - 25 shirtless guys vying for your attention. Most are on the muscular side, and some are quite handsome. Several are absolute stunners. You might see a few familiar faces from Thai porn or the  nude photo online magazines. It's a full service shop; you're not there for the massage. As I recall a one hour massage in a standard room is 900 baht, and the minimum tip is 1500. Deluxe rooms, 90 minutes etc., are higher. The rooms are old but clean, and there is a shower and toilet in the room. I've rarely been disappointed there. Mostly straight guys but they will generally fulfill most requests. Can be quite busy on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

Just because a venue doesn’t get a lot of exposure on this forum does not mean it is not worth going to. TCS Spa and Sanctuary SMS are two places that are hardly mentioned here but absolutely worth going to. There is also a new combined sauna and massage spa in Silom called «the residences» that just opened and looks promising with crossover of masseurs from «History of Massages». 

VCK has recently introduced a club premium concept that is ripe for a review also.

Speaking of TCS Spa, I had never heard of it (and I live here) until Shameless Mack mentioned that they have a new branch in Ari. There is also apparently a location in Charoenkrung. As I live on that side of town, I decided to give the Ari location a try. It might be my new favorite place. Same model as Klover, History, etc., which is to say higher prices, sexier men, and a more deluxe spa experience. For the Ari branch, everything is new. The spa is in a freestanding villa style building with courtyard, fountain, etc. The very service oriented staff are well trained and they are clearly aiming for a 5 star experience. Compared to Klover, I would say that they have maybe slightly fewer men to choose from, but perhaps better looking men (Klover photos are heavily photoshopped). TCS also provides full shirtless pics, so you have a better idea of what you are getting, and their marketing is um... more suggestive. From the photos provided I chose a fellow with well defined pecs and a six pack, as that is my favorite type, and made a booking.

I generally prefer Thai massage to oil, but that was not on offer, so I chose 90 minutes aromatherapy.  They do have jacuzzi suites, which look to be quite large but which I declined in favor a standard room. It wasn't huge, but it was nicely appointed and there is a separate full bathroom attached (unlike Klover). My guy  took me to the room, a welcome drink was served, and various oils presented, etc. His English was near perfect, and we had a nice get acquainted chat. I learned that he had recently moved to Bangkok from Chiang Mai, where he had been working not in a spa but as an insurance broker. He was offered a similar position here, but opted for the TCS job because it paid substantially more. No previous experience, but he described the in house training he had received as very thorough and professional.

He left while I showered, and when he returned he asked me to lie down on the table. All very legit so far, but I wanted to get a feel for what might be on offer, so I decided to be a bit cheeky. I said "do you wnat me to be naked for the massage?" Obviously I knew the answer, but when he said "Yes", I asked "and will you be naked too?" He hesitated for just a second, and then replied with a smile "not yet". So I knew we were in business. 

I did ask him to at least remove his shirt, which he did, revealing a perfectly sculpted body and the flawless porcelain skin so typical of the Chiang Mai region. I think I actually gasped. The massage itself was excellent--clearly he was correct about the training. Thorough coverage to include head, neck, hands and arms, etc. He was very strong and I was in heaven. When I was flipped over onto to my back, I couldn't help but staring at his physique. He of course noticed, and asked "do you like my body?" "Yes I do" I said. "Would you like to touch?" he asked with a smile. I replied that I would, and indeed I did. Not too long after that, all the rest of his clothes came off, revealing even more splendor. He was quickly erect and hopped up onto to the table with me, again being gracious and accommodating. At no point was any extra tip discussed or requested. After we finished, a nice cup of fresh brewed tea and a delicious cookie were served. I tipped well in excess of the suggested 500 minimum, and we continued to chat for a while before I was escorted into the courtyard and to the front gate. 

I can't wait to go back.
