I’m try to active on networking as much as I can, since I left my job but most of my time spending is on global news, learning what is going on in this planet, especially a country that I have a potentially to live in the future. Sometime I love to read about the leaders profile of how and why they be chosen to be the leaders, for example Mr. Obama, Mr. Camiron, Mr. Key. They are not only young but they are also posses’ elegant look too in this century...hehe...if you know what I mean. This is the leader of new generation....

Apart from that I’d love to know about their partners, I like Mrs Obama, when they interviewed her while she met Queen Elizabeth II. Her opinion and vision toward life is positive and full of spiritual. And I learned that some of high ambition women’s success is astounding, for example Wendy Deng, a wife of Rupert Murdoch. I’ve been thinking if any Thai woman has ambition. There is one pop up in my head it is Poomphung Dongchan, the queen folk singer who die twenty years ago or so. I really admired her of how she had come to the peak but ended sadly.

Anyway, sorry I am excursive of what I’m going to write about. In the past three or four months I was enjoying explore for new massage parlours about On-Nuch area which is cheaper compare to where I live. So I was enjoy walking tree bus stops to the area but decided not to go if I am not too tense body, so I do semi-exercise-yoga instead. Why? It is safer and I no need to pay. I used to speak about a masseur who asked me out and then I opted not to go for awhile just to hint him that I’m a client who is not looking for a date. Later on I was sneaking in his shop again because I heard some massage said after 6pm he always disappears so i think he probably out while I’m there. And while I enjoy being massage by a lady he suddenly shown up from nowhere and complain where have I been for such a long time and said how much he has expected me. Then he asked the lady who massage me how long has she been massaging. She said almost two hours then he turn to me asking “care for another more hour?†I didn’t answer but I know I will never come here again.

Since then I found a new place and there are 6- 7 shops near On nuch BTS. I was excited and thought I can go everyday to try more shop each day to see which shop I’d like most because it cost THB 100/hr for foot massage and 100 THB/hr for body massage. I always have 1 hr for foot massage and 1 hr for body but what changed my mind is I used to thing this area is for local and general people but I was wrong. A shop that I first explored located in main Sukhumvit road. When I enter a guy who massages me told me that normally he doesn’t massage women because he doesn’t them, he likes men but he will massage lady he’s liked only.

I’m honoured up on hearing the guy’s word, but when his friend, a lady body telling everyone in a massage room that “he always say that he likes men, he likes men but when he’s back to Chang Rai, he becomes a good dad to his children and a good husband to his wife. I think that was a joke and laughing, but when he massaging/squeezing my ass he kept telling me “oh your ass is so firm†and when he kept saying that again and again while squeezing me I wanted to tell him “shut up I don’t want anyone to tell me how firm of my ass is†but afraid that he would squeeze harder so I opted to be silent.

On the way back home I tried to think he is a man who likes a men, and while I was being occupied with my thought I was approached by a stranger, a causation in his sixties say hello to me and I show my manner by saying hello too. He asked what I’m doing, I told him that I came to massage and walking home. He then said “why don’t come with me and give me massage†suddenly I staring at him while saying no and he seems to know that I’m not happy so he sped up his pace and disappeared within second. I am a little bit irritated that day because before I went to massage I went to Tesco Lotus On-Nuch and I run around the lady department trying dresses in fitting rooms and I be approached by a stranger for tree times kept saying beautirul.....to me and the third time he asked if i can speak English and I kind of shout at him “YES†and then he disappeared in thin air.

When I crossed soi Sukhumvit 77, I was passing another shop and thinking I should try this one next time and in next couple days I did. When first entry I noticed the guys acting suspicious then he told a girl to massage me. The massage rooms are in second floor, the room is dark with thick wooden partition and only curtain by the foot side so I opened the curtain because scared but the girl come she closed it. After finishing massage I walked down to first floor and there were masseurs sitting and looking up at me one young boy sing a song while he keeps staring at me อยากบอกให้รู้ว่าฉันชอบเธอ.......I wanted u to know that I like you……

I told myself never come to this shop again and I have more to explore….

Two day later, I went to another shop it’s located in between Tesco lotus and Big C (before Carrefour) it’s a soi that you can walk from sukhumvit main road to Big C. I was massaged by a boy and in the mean time I overheard his male friends keep saying “hey! You got a cutie one and sexy too†then he disappeared in the back room with those friends and come back, this time he keep sweet eyes contact to me and saying how cute I am, a massage lady told me that “actually you supposed to be my client but he asked if he can cut in front of me and I allowed him†in a sudden I feel a litte bit weird but don’t want to show my fear. Thought, I shouldn’t be so negative, until body massage time he took me up stair and the room was dark and each bed surround with curtain. When other client finish massage he went to shut the door I was wondering why he did that, what if other clients come. Then he started massage me and he accidentally touch my organ again and again and at the same time tried to send me sweet eyes contact in the darkness. I know I was in danger and think what if I scream will he kill me and I’m so afraid. I decided to be silent and then to my surprise he pull my shirt up to my boobs and I instantly asked him “what you going to do? He said he going to give me oil massage I didn’t want oil massage but he force me so what I can do is to protect my boobs and luckily, my phone ringing while he massaging me, I keep talking over my husband this and that to prolong our conversation even my friend want to hang up but I think it is only way to save me. In the end he sighs…..probably give up.

When I was down stair he dares not to face me and I tip him 40 baht and tell myself never come back again.

I talked to Saithong over the masseur’s sexual assault me and she said that those places are doing happy ending thing. How she know that? it was one of a messenger in her work place went there, he kept telling the girl that “no need to keep massaging only my upper thighs, other parts are tense too†but that girl still keep pressing that place so he asked her directly “is you doing happy ending?†and the girl nod….and you know what men seem to have quick nerve system in respond to that thing……….

Once in awhile I go, there is a place that comfort me it is the one that close to On-Nuch BTS its down stair doing beauty salon, I know a boy there which I never talked to him afraid that he would take advantage of him but when I got a chance to talk to him we exchanged our experience of being sexual assault and he being sexual assault by his clients too. He told me that those shop that I went are reported by clients to police every now and then over sexual assault but those cases never settle because there is no rule of how far massage goes to consider as assault.

Anyway, he share me that while he doing oil massage to a middle class girl she grab his hand to press her boob and he was shocked with red face. And there are many gays guy ask him while oil massaging that if he let him hug he will be paid THB 1,000. I know he tries to be polite to me when he say hug but what he mean is F… and one of his male friend is a good look masseur, which some client try to seduce him by pull her underwear down her thighs to show her organ while the guy massage other body part and when he saw that he pull it back to cover it but she do it again and again, until she tell the masseur that “if you are not comfort with this we can meet somewhere outside, here my number call me when you free…â€

So I think, we can be an abuser and be abused at some other time. Anyway, I just wanted to share my experience but some of you may experience a professional one.

Wow... good journal. But it's unbelievable how unprofessional these places are.

I only go to Healthland now. It's excellent service and a good price (but a lot more than 100 baht an hour!)

The staff are professional and well-trained. The guy who sexually assaulted you needs reporting.

You should return to the shop with your husband or some friends and make a scene with the manager. It's outrageous.

Soda, I agree with Dave ... that should not be tolerated! sorry for you experience

Soda,

As usual, an amazing journal.

For me it made me think of two things:

1. Even us guys aren't always looking for a happy ending with our massage and it does get a bit annoying when they keep pressing for that. When I want a nice, relaxing massage I'm always careful not to go to any shops where it seems like they might offer more. I avoid all of the places with 5 or 6 good looking girls hanging out in front in skimpy clothes, etc.

So, I thought I was safe going to this one place that I had gone to dozens of times for foot massages. Most of the women who work there are older than 40 and nothing about the place seems like they do anything more than give massages. Plus the foot massages were excellent.

So when I asked for a body massage they called up someone and a younger gal showed up a few minutes later and took me upstairs. Within a few minutes she was accidently massaging a little high on my legs and brushing up against my crotch.

Of course, the body has natural reactions and as soon as she saw a reaction down there she immediately grabbed onto it and asked if I wanted a special massage. I told her that I didn't and to please just give me a regular massage.

She went back to giving me a massage but every 5 minutes she would reach around and grab me there again and ask if I wanted a special massage. She did that probably about 7 or 8 times. Each time I told her that I wasn't interested and asked her to please just give me a regular massage.

When we were finished, I was not relaxed. I had spent the whole hour concentrating on not reacting to her touching my crotch so she wouldn't have a reason to think that I had an interest in getting a happy ending. If anything, I was more stressed out than when I walked in.

I've never been back to that shop. Not even for the excellent foot massages.

2. I'm always surprised at how many businesses allow an employee or group of employees drive away business.

The guys hitting on you are doing so in front of rest of the staff. So everyone knows. Shouldn't there be an owner or boss there who tells the staff they'll be fired if customers complain about being offered special massages?

Now you won't be coming back to that shop and the owner of the business makes less money. But in Thailand sometimes it seems like nobody cares if the customers never come back.

****, all of that happening to you and you still try and be polite. I wouldve freaked out, started swearing and making an obvious point that I didn't want be bothered. You're too kind Soda, if someone, anyone touches you in a way you aren't happy with you have to let them know. Maybe we should all chip in and buy you some pepper spray. Lol

Glad you weren't hurt.

Thanks to all comment ka. I don't think the manager will punish his staffs because he/she probably think this thing is attracted to some customers who potentially come back.

there are many ppl file reports to police but the cases never settled, so even police can't solved this problem......and I think i should forget about it and never come back.

You should return to the shop with your husband or some friends and make a scene with the manager. It's outrageous.

i agree .... and could u also give me the names and addresses of the massage shops were female masseurs sexually assault u .... so i know which ones to avoid !!!!

obviously !!!!
