Xenono Gets His First Massage
Once again I was woken up by a call from Dart. The previous evening Ranger and I made tentative plans to hit the Chao Phaya 2 body massage place. I read in one of Ranger’s earlier reports how he liked this place a lot, so I decided I wanted to check it out first.
Dart really wanted me to experience a massage place as well. He described to me how the girls reacted and tried to get your attention. He said the first time he walked into to one of those places, he and his buddies could not stop giggling. I think he may have even described it as, “giggling like girls” although I cannot be 100% sure. Needless to say, he was anxious to go as well, although his experiences were in different places. He had not been to CP2 before. But he was also excited to see my reaction once I made my first massage appearance at the famous fishbowl.
Ranger wanted me to give him a call around lunch. It was around 10am and the night of rest was just what I needed to adjust fully to Bangkok time. Bangkok was 14 hours ahead of Arizona time. So 10am on Monday morning in Bangkok was 8 pm Sunday night in Arizona. I showered and headed out to exchange some traveler’s cheques. There was a bank and money exchange just down the street on Soi 11 from the Grand President. I also stopped in the shop/convenience store on the bottom floor of the Grand President to buy some snacks. I was amazed at how inexpensive some of the items were. I bought about a liter and a half of Coke. (Although I don’t know what the hell measurement they used, it looked larger than a liter but less than two). I think it was something like 26 baht. About 59 US cents.
I also bought some milk and some cereal. I don’t remember the prices, but again, it was pretty damn cheap compared to US prices for equivalent items. I could not read what the hell the milk said, but I think I found some 2% and that was good enough for me.
I then proceeded to meet Dart once again at Majestic Suites. We got some breakfast and then headed over to Nanaplaza to see if any of the beer bars were open. We started earlier than the day before, and nothing was open yet. We used this opportunity to take some pictures of Nazaplaza. Some of the clubs had the doors open as well and we took some pictures of their interior.
We also spent some time in front of Casanova towards the back of Nazaplaza on the second floor. For those of you that don’t know, Casanova is a ladyboy bar. We took this opportunity to take a look at the pictures of some of the ladyboys that were posted outside. I just have one word to describe those pictures: Scary! Scary from the standpoint that some of those girls, errr guys were really scary looking. And scary from the standpoint that if I didn’t know I was looking at a picture of a ladyboy, I probably never would have known she was a he.
After that sobering experience, we headed downstairs and decided to check out Bigdogs. It was the only place that was open. We got some beer and Dart ended up talking to a girl named Bon, 29. She totally did not look 29. I was really impressed. She was nice and we had an enjoyable time talking to her.
We then went back to Majestic Suites to call Ranger. Unfortunately, Ranger was not doing too well. I think he had an injury in sustained while he was in Cambodia the week before and was having some foot problems. If I don’t mention this, Dart probably will, so here goes. When I originally got on the phone with him, I asked him how he was. He replied, “My foot hurts.” I understood him to stay, “My butt hurts.” When I repeated that back to him, and he clarified that it was his “foot” and not his butt that hurt, Dart started busting up laughing and started mocking me again. Ranger said he was going to be unavailable to take us to Chao Phaya 2 today. I asked him if he could provide us with directions there, as I had no idea how to get there. He suggested we take the Sky Train. He gave me directions, saying to take the Sky Train to Phaya Thai. He also gave me directions from the Sky Train station as well, and I desperately tried to scribble them down. He mentioned we could walk or take a cab from the Sky Train station, but to be sure if we took as cab from the Sky Train station, the driver did not attempt to take us to CP1. That was a place that raised your rate by 500 baht if you came in a taxi, CP2 was not. That is why Ranger liked it. No bullshit there he said.
I thanked Ranger for his time, directions, and info. Then I wished him well and hoped he felt better later.
I had read that one needed to be careful when taking taxis to the Massage places. A lot of the places offer incentives to Tuk-Tuk and taxi drivers to bring tourists to these places. That immediately makes your rate go up by 500 baht, which they pass along to the taxi driver for bringing you there. Apparently CP2 was not a place that offered taxi drivers incentives to bring tourists there, but I had read about places in the Sukhumvit area that did, so I wanted to be cautious.
I put the directions in my pocket and Dart and I headed for the Nana Sky Train station. We had no idea what the deal was though. We looked at a map of the route on the wall and saw Phaya Thai was four stops away from where we were.
We then went to the window and handed them some money, expecting to get a ticket back. Instead, we got change. Then we realized you had to put that change into an electronic card dispenser. You chose what number on the route (in either direction) you wanted to go. In our case, it was 4. Then it told you how much baht you had to give them. To get four stations away from Nana cost 20 baht, about 45 US cents.
After putting in two-10 baht coins, we were dispensed a card with an electronic mag stripe on it. We then went to the entrance, put our cards in, which opened a small, waist high gate for us, then closed when we obtained our card back and went through. I rode B.A.R.T in San Francisco many years ago, and I think the system may be the same, but I am unsure. We have a good picture of it we can post later on.
We then went up another set of stairs that went to the deck where the sky trains ran. Staying true to our US form, we were on the wrong side. We needed to go west, so we went up on the right (wrong) side. So we had to walk all the way back down and then up back up to the left side to go west.
The trains ran fairly quickly and we weren’t waiting long for a train to arrive. There were security guards on both sides of the station making sure people stayed behind the yellow lines and didn’t try to jump on to the tracks.
We entered the train and it was pretty crowded. We had to stand, and Dart lost his balance with the speed at which the train accelerated.
I don’t know how fast these trains ran, but Dart was saying they ran a lot faster than the San Diego Trolley did.
Soon we arrived at the Phaya Thai station. We put our cards into the gate again and the cards were taken this time and we departed the station. This was where I was hazy about the directions, so we decided to get a taxi from the station to Chao Phaya 2. This was a good idea, because we started walking in the wrong direction and it was pretty hot out.
We arrived at CP2 and it was not what I expected. I was not expecting the huge 3 or 4 story building it was. The entrance was two glass doors with two white columns and a roof coming out over it. We entered and that famous fishbowl I had read and heard so much about was straight ahead and to our left. I would estimate there were between 30-40 girls there around 1pm. The women were divided into four distinct sections.
Traditional Massage cost 500 baht, no sex included in the price. These women were older and ugly.
Then there was Body Massage (1500 baht), Star Massage (1600 baht), and Super Star Massage (1700 baht).
I later read they have sideline girls at 2300 baht each, but I don’t recall seeing them.
Now let me describe the fishbowl for a second. The girls are seated on usually 4 to 5 rows of large, usually red colored carpeted steps. The steps are larger than a normal stair step, and the fishbowl was wide and long enough to house probably 100-150 ladies if they were all in there at once. Then there is a piece of glass that separates you and the girls. Hence the name: fishbowl. Sideline girls are girls that are usually outside of the fishbowl. They are generally considered the highest quality and most expensive girls, although I don’t know how one attains this status. There were some sideline girls I saw later in the trip that I was not attracted to at all. So I don’t know if it is looks, popularity, or what. I might have to do some more research and find that answer later.
After looking around, Dart was unimpressed with the selection. He was also disappointed that the girls were not reacting to us they way he remembered in his previous trip. I spied a girl I was attracted to and could take up. Dart was utterly disappointed and wanted to leave. He has some other places in mind that he wanted to take me. I was willing to go with the girl I selected, so we decided to part ways and meet up at Nanaplaza later on.
Dart took off and I proceeded to make my selection. I selected a superstar and paid the 1700 baht ($38 US) at the counter. That 1700 baht got you two hours in the room with the lady, sex included. The girl I chose was Yona, #116.

The routine I was about to go through would be pretty standard across all the massage places in Bangkok I went to. Yona led me over to the elevators where we headed up to our room. When we arrived at our room, a lady brought in a basket with various soapy and cleaning supplies in them that had Yona’s downstairs number on it. That same lady also started the water running in the tub. She then departed but left the door slightly cracked. After a few moments, another lady came in and asked if we wanted any drinks. I didn’t, so I declined. This lady left and then closed the door behind her. Yona and I made some small talk before she asked me if she could smoke. I should have said no, but I ended up saying yes. After she finished her cigarette, we both undressed and she led me to the tub. We both got in, her with her back to the facet facing me. She started cleaning me off, first the toes and legs. Then she proceeded to the dick which she cleaned thoroughly. She continued to work her way up, cleaning off my stomach, shoulders, and arms before having me turn around and then cleaning off my back.
We stood up in the tub and she rinsed me off. Then she dried me off and I waited for her on the bed while she rinsed and dried herself. Hmmm, I was thinking. When the hell does that air mattress come into play? I read so much about that damn air mattress! I want a slip and slide!
Well, I didn’t get one. I don’t know if CP2 just isn’t a slip and slide place or what, but after Yona joined me on the bed, she proceeded to start massaging my legs, and then arms. Finally, she approached the little soldier who stood up at attention to salute her orals skills. It was only a fair BBBJ, but I was 5 for 5 on the BBBJ’s so far here in Thailand so I was not complaining.
After the BBBJ, she got on cowgirl style and started doing all the work. After a while, she tired and asked me to do some work and I happily obliged her. She got off after a bit and laid down where we proceeded to missionary, and then I finished her off in doggie. She was another petite girl, which I love.
The rooms at CP2 were really nice. The bed was round with a round mattress and mirrors all around the bed and then one on the ceiling as well. I always like ceiling mirror for the BJ and to check out the action in doggie, although the side mirrors are perfect for checking out the action in doggie, too.
While we were getting dressed at the end, she started making some additional small talk, asking about how things were in the states since the terror attacks, and commenting on how she thought war was silly. Overall, this was probably my worst session in Thailand to date. It was not overly affectionate and pretty businesslike. That being said, I would still have to rate it higher most of my average to good TJ and Nogales sessions. I think I gave her the 300 baht left over from the two thousand baht notes I used to pay for the room. We then headed downstairs and I headed out to meet Dart back at Nana.
Dart and I met back up at Nana and made our plans for the rest of the day. We wanted to go to another massage closer by that he had been to on his first trip. I had printed several maps of the Sukhumvit area, so we plotted where we could tell the taxi driver to take us and drop us off without having to pay the massage surcharge. We decided that the Prince Hotel on New Petchaburi Road looked like a good place to stop. So we hailed a cab, showed him the map, and asked him to take us to the Prince Hotel. We paid up and headed out on New Petchaburi. The first place we stopped was Atami.
Now this was more like what Dart was expected. The girls were much more active here, trying to get your attention, smiling at you, saying things through the glass that you could neither hear nor understand. I must admit, it brought a humble smile to my face.
After looking around and surveying all the talent, I was ready to choose. I think Dart spotted someone he wanted as well, so we both headed off to our respective rooms. The girl I chose was Na, age 24, number 94. I was extremely attracted to this girl. She was hot. She had a very natural beauty to her that I was quite fond of. Once again, she led me to room. A lady brought her basket full of soap and supplies and started the water running. Drink lady came around later and I declined the drinks.

We undressed and headed for the tub. But not before I noticed an air mattress! WooHoo! I was going to get my slip and slide here!
She started bathing me by putting my right leg on her left shoulder. She soaped that up, cleaned, rinsed, and repeated with the left leg. Then she crossed her legs in front of her and pulled my butt up onto her cross legs. This exposed my penis out of the water. She then soaped it up and cleaned it as well. Then she pulled out from that position, put my right hand on her left shoulder and clean that. It was the same for the other arm. Then she cleaned my shoulders and chest, turned me around and cleaned my stomach and back.
Now we were ready for the part I was excited about. The soapy massage! She got a good lather going on the air mattress, and then helped me down to the air mattress to make sure I didn’t slip and fall. I started off by laying on my stomach.
She then lathered up some bubbles on the back, before she started rubbing herself all over me. An interesting sensation that she did was rubbing her breasts and nipples in my butt crack. That kind of tickled but it also felt good. She also would slip and slide on either side of my back, and then rub her breasts along my back as well. This little bit of heaven on Earth lasted for a while before she had me turn over. Then she repeated a lot of the same techniques before she came down slowly and started kissing me.
The kisses started slowly and softly, but they quickly turned more passionate with each passing moment. We accelerated the pace, and then slowed slightly. I wrapped my arms around her back and pulled her as close to me as I possibly could. I started getting out of breath a little bit but she continued to kiss me passionately. I enjoyed it immensely. At one point, I got so wrapped up in the kissing that little Xenono was getting dangerously close to the promised land, so I switched positions a little bit and told him to wait just a little longer.
After some of the most passionate, deep, sensual kissing I had experienced in a long time, we slowly got up, rinsed and dried off, and headed to the bed.
Then the kissing started again. Lots more kissing took place before she provided a short BBBJ. Then we started going at it missionary while she continued the relentless assault of kissing on my face while I penetrated her gently. I rolled her over to doggie and then finished up. She lay beside me for a little bit while we kissed some more. Then she went and took another shower. I also rinsed myself off and cleaned up a bit as well.
After we had both finished cleaning up, she just continued to hug me and not let go. This eventually led to some more kissing so I laid her back down on the bed and we continued kissing there. This continued until the doorbell rang, signaling time was up. We both finished getting dressed and then went back out to the lobby hand in hand.
Dart was waiting for me out there and was sipping on a coke. He asked me how things went. I could not yet describe them in words. It was an incredible time. Na was just incredible. Adjectives just can’t describe my time with her.
Unfortunately, as good as my time with Na was, Dart’s time with his girl was equally BAD. He told me the story, which has a very humorous note to it that I will leave him to tell. After he finished telling me the story, we left Atami and went to check out some other massage places that were close by.
We first went to check out Halem. There are about seven massage places in this general area by the Prince Hotel. Angara and Halem are on the same street, Soi 41 I think. Atami is just a short walk down one more street. There is a street sign that says Atami Turkish Bath and Body Massage. I didn’t visit Embassy, but it is also close by. And then right behind the Prince Hotel is the Plaza Entertainment Complex that has three more massage places. Cupidy is on the bottom floor.
Anyway, we checked out Halem. We both were attracted to the same girl, but not anyone else, so we decided to check out Angara. The Papasan asked why we were leaving, and was willing to lower the price if it was a problem. I don’t recall what he quoted us though.
I did not notice an English sign for Angara, but it is hard to miss. It is up the street from Halem. Halem is on the left side, Angara is a little farther up on the right. Look for the green lights on the side of the building. There is also a small sigh with the Pepsi logo on it with English writing that says, Body Massage, Thai Massage, Oil Massage, Foot Massage.
We headed in to check it out. There were two fishbowls here. One with 1500 baht everything included girls and then another fishbowl with 2000 baht everything included girls. We passed on the 1500 baht girls, as there was no one there we were attracted to. There were several possibilities with the 2000 baht girls though. And I was debating between two. I think Dart had his eye on one of the two girls I was looking at as well. I finally decided to on one, and we headed up.
The girl I was chose was Poon, age 24. She wore #40. We headed up to the room and repeated the same scenario familiar to me from my other two massage visits. I once again declined the drinks. But Poon actually ordered a soda and then paid for it herself!
Photos: Back and Forth in Thailand 035 036
We undressed and headed to the bath. What I recall being the highlight of the bath was her signing. She had a beautiful angelic voice and sang in Thai almost the entire time she was bathing me. It was then time to lather up that air mattress. She took her sweet time and scrubbed me a very long time with her body. The other highlight of the soapy with Poon was her bush. It wasn’t a really hairy or unshaved bush, but it did have some length to it towards the bottom that doubled as a nice brush. She also continued her singing as she scrubbed me. After these three massages and baths, I don’t think I have ever been cleaner in my entire life.
Once again, it was time to rinse off and head to the bed for the deed. I was pretty disappointed with the room quality at Angara. Both CP2 and Atami had nice, if not decent rooms. I did not like the Angara rooms at all. First off, they were all tile. Ugly green and white tile. And then I did not like the mold and mildew buildup that was on some of the tile.
Anyway, we headed to bed and she gave me a covered BJ. It was decent to good, but nothing special. For some reason, I did not mention many of the sexual details of Poon beyond the blowjob. Just remembering overall session quality, I would say it was better that the first of the day, but not nearly the quality Na had just given me at Atami. However, she was very good and I do have found memories of the session. After it was over, we headed downstairs hand and hand.
She sat with me while I waited for Dart. I bought her a beer and we chatted a bit. Dart later came by and all three of us sat on the couch and talked.
It was time to move on though, so Dart and I headed out. I had yet to see Soi Cowboy, so we hailed a taxi and asked him to take us to Cowboy. There were two or three bars in this area I had on my checklist.
The cab dropped us off on Soi 23. We proceeded to head down the street that Lólita's was on, and then briefly into that Beer Bar Complex that starts on the corner of Asoke and Sukhumvit. We realized our mistake, Dart being the one who had been here before, and turned around and went back up Soi 23 until we hit Cowboy.
We walked all the way down the street towards Asoke until we came across two bars on my list. Long Gun and Tilac. We decided to head in Long Gun and sat down. We both ordered a Carlsberg and took in the show. The song that was playing was Clint Eastwood by the Gorillaz. Dart asked me the name of the song and I told him. It would become a theme for the rest of the trip.
The girls that came out all had on faded denim shorts with the top two or three buttons undone. They were topless, with cowboy hats on. Dart mentioned to me that the Cowboy hats were a nice touch. We both immediately spotted targets. The girl I liked was facing me and was in the middle. She was the best dancer out there. While most girls were simply bobbing a little bit to the music, this girl was moving her butt all around, swaying side to side, and just generally moving her body in a way that attracted me. She also had this infectious smile on her face and I had to have her.
Dart’s girl was directly behind, facing in the other direction. I told Dart I wanted to bring the girl I liked over and he flagged down a waitress and pointed to my girl. After she finished dancing, she was brought over to us.
I chatted her up for a while, before making the final decision to go ahead and bar fine her. After all, this was going to be the first girl I barfined during this trip! I didn’t talk to her long though. Just enough to get a positive vibe and her name. I was sold on her by her dancing and her smile. But the booth personality was good, so I bid my farewells to Dart and paid the bar 500 baht so she could leave with me.

Her name was A and she was 20. A went to the back to change and in a short amount of time we were headed out of the Long Gun walking hand in hand towards Asoke Road. She asked where I was staying and I told her the Grand President. The taxi ride there was interesting, going through a wide array of side streets. We would go straight for a while, and then turn left and then right. Then go straight for a while, and then turn left and then right. There wasn’t just ONE street that ran east-west? We actually passed the Royal President on the way there.
Once we arrived, I think she left her ID downstairs and we took the elevator up the 9th floor where I was staying in Tower 2.
I brought some glow sticks with me on the trip, with the intention of handing them out at the clubs and discos, or giving them to a select few girls, hoping to get a good reaction out of them. I broke out a few with A and put on some of the China Dolls music I had brought with me in the hopes she would dance for me the way she danced in the club. She put on a show for me which was very nice, although it did not last as long as I hoped.
This girl really had a playful personality though. And I enjoyed being with her. When I told her I was from America, she broke out with bin Laden, as many Thai people did once I told them where I was from. But she kind of lengthened it a little. So it wasn’t bin Laden, it was bin Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaden. It wasn’t the Grand President, it was the GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRAAAAAAAND Presideeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeent.
Interesting to say the least. After she finished her brief dance, she headed to the shower while I once again took this opportunity to secure all the valuables in the safe. Then I took a shower. When I came out, I turned off all the lights in the room and left the bathroom door slightly cracked with the light on in there. Then we played around with the glowsticks some more and then used them for light in the room.
We started kissing and continued this for a while. But what she really paid a lot of attention to was my nipples. Damn! She just would not let go of those things. After almost a little too much nipple attention on her part, she continued to make her way down to the main course. But it wasn’t really a BBBJ that she provided. It was more like a BBLJ (Bare Back Lick Job). She was good at it, but I would have preferred a little less tongue action and a little more mouth action.
The ball licking was very good, though. We then proceeded to missionary, which was the position we maintained throughout. I think I told her upfront that I only wanted short time. I wasn’t quite ready for LT. After she showered and got dressed, she once again became very playful. For some reason, I started blowing on her stomach to make a farting sound. She started giggly wildly and the next 15-20 minutes became this back and forth between us. I would chase her, finally catch her, and then blow on her stomach. Then it was her turn to do the same to me.
Finally, I put on some more Thai music and she grabbed the Glowsticks and again started dancing for me. My only wish for this session, as good as it was, was that I wished she were as playful in the bed as she was before and after the sex. The sex was good, it just wasn’t like the fun we had before and after. If it had been, the session would have been top notch. I ended up giving her 1500 baht ($34 US) and said my goodbyes.
Today was a good day. I got in four sessions and tomorrow I was heading down to Pattaya. Pattaya was where I really wanted to go anyway. I had a good time in Bangkok but the main purpose of this trip was really for Pattaya.

Xenono, when you were in Chao Phaya 2, did the beer/soda glasses and napkins say "JTwo" on them ?
I went to Chao Phaya 1 and the word "JOne" was pasted all over the place. I think people refer to them as JOne and JTwo although the taxi drivers didn't seem to understand it when I said it (although that wasn't a big surprise).
I wrote some commentary on my visit to JOne on this board under bangkok, massage. It was the only massage joint that I went to in BKK so I can't compare it to any others in BKK (Christin's in Phuket is better in my opinion, that is my only other comp). Which one was the big winner after your massages ? Chao Phaya 2 or Atami ?
ps. my buddy didn't get the soapy raft deal on his first run at JOne and I had to ask for mine. i guess it isn't automatic (which is ridiculous !!).

Buick,
I must admit I do not know the answer to your question. I did not sit down to drink before deciding and I did not order any drinks once we were in the room at CP2. So I didn't have a chance to notice the writing on the glasses or napkins.
Out of the three Massage Parlors I visited that day, I would rate Atami #1, Angara #2 and CP2 #3. However, that is only based on quality of session and overall girl selection. Atami also had some nice sideline girls, but I stuck with Na from the fishbowl.
I didn’t see any sideline girls at Angara, but there were two girls I could have done there.
At CP2, I only had one target and that was the girl I chose. I was there early though, so maybe the selection got better later in the evening?
CP2 clearly wins out in price and room quality. Atami had good rooms and price seemed fair.
Angara had the WORST rooms of all three.

thanks xenono. i didn't find the selection at CP1 all that appealing but i was there in the early afternoon (similar to your visit to CP2).
I'll give Atami a try on my next visit.
