Sanctuary by A: Bangkok Massage

Was wondering if anyone has been to this establishment.
Looking for a strictly non-sexual massage, HP looks nice but am a little leery of places that post the masseurs pictures on their page.

9000 baht for four hours! That's $300! Are they unaware they're in Thailand? $300! Hookers would be cheaper. A lot cheaper.

Last time I was Hanoi, I went to a spa. Steam bath, sauna, and a hour-long massage, $6.

.....looks nice but am a little leery of places.....

Perhaps you mean you are a little *wary*?

The leery people usually head for girlie bars.

^ suggest you get a new dictionary then....leery=wary/cautious/suspicious

(and I'm not even an English teacher :-) )

Might depend on which dictionary we use Mike.

I went for The Oxford, and got:

leer'y a. (sl.) Knowing, sly; wary of.

So go to Wat Po. No happy endings there.

I'll second Wat Po. Good prices, good massages. No handjobs when it's connected to a temple. But, you still get a happy ending in the form of a relaxed body.
