On today's line post from Fafa spa, apart from a lot of T&B guys

I subscribed to their Line news. I like what I saw. Since I am more into skinny twinks than twunks I will definitively try FaFa during my next visit (Discarding the heavily tattooed ones)

Of all the massage  parlours I have seen, Fafa do advertise more young vers twinks than any other. My interest also!

This is actually a new development. When they opened over a year ago most of their twinks were tops and quite indistinguishable from the therapists from an average shop at Saphan Khwai. Now they have found a market niche.

A niche that suits me!

Can you elaborate? In 2001 to be precise I had a massage there [VCK / Chakran massage in Ari] 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.

Prior to its merger with Chakran sauna, V Club was a popular gay massage spa on Soi Ari itself. One reason it was popular is it did often have some genuine models available. Their photos were always at the back of the photo books you were encouraged to look at before choosing your model. Naturally they were more expensive.

My only reason for bringing this up here is that having patronised both V Club and Chakran in 2001 and 2002, they were then still separate entities with Chakran being about 80 meters or so along Ari Soi 4.. The merger did not happen until after then. Not that I am questioning @sydneyboy1's memory because he is no doubt referencing the present location since the old V Club no longer exists. I am wondering if the great massage he mentions was by one of the model therapists.

The set up in those days was that you walked in got changed and wandered around the premises where the boys were sitting around or playing games. The “hostess” would point out the attributes of the boys present and make recommendations. The guy I chose on that memorable day was just arrived and the hostess stated the obvious that he was a bodybuilder. I repeat that was 2001.

I visited several times in 2001 and 2002 (and before) - although if @sydneyboy1 is absoutely certain he was there in 2001, I will defer to his memory. Some of the masseurs were indeed present as we sat waiting to make a choice. But we were also presented with quite a large photo book with all the boys' photos, including those who were professional models (generally models who appeared in print advertising for products). 

V Club had its own entrance on the right side of Soi Ari in its own smallish building. Reception was on the left as you entered. I seem to recall it was the first massage spa of many I had visited where minimum tips were listed on a board on the desk. We then waited in a lounge-type area on the right which also served coffee and drinks (not sure if they included alcohol, though!). 

I recall the location well because one of my company's clients owned a large house decorated in a Chinese-style on the soi to the right immediately after V Club (she still lives there). I was always slightly concerned that she or her husband might see me in the area and wonder what I was doing!

I wonder if anyone can remember when V Club closed down. I recall it was quite a few months before it relocated and became part of Chakran sauna. I believe they had the same owner.
