I could see the orange and green neon lit sign through squinted eyes some 20 metres ahead.
The rain was becoming more and more spiteful and a brisk wind blew a surge of the hard tropical shower into my face...it hurt...it had the power of an over zealous bum gun, the involuntary enema administering type...bastard tropics...at least the rain is relatively polite back home.
I reached the sign completely sodden and took in its scrawl, which boasted of a Thai Massage establishment approximately 200 metres 'that way'..the sign was clear in its instruction.
Feeling the need to shelter from the intensifying storm, I flicked the button and indicated left. My Honda Wave at present sounds like it is dying a long and painful death, everything rattles or clunks or occaisionally goes bang..but I managed to deftly steer her, negotiating my way around potholes and street sellers doing their best to protect the wares on the carts and stalls from the torrential downpour..
Another slightly less modern looking sign greeted me 150 metres down the bumpy soi and advised me to bear right should I wish to continue onto the Parlour. Clicking the indicator, which makes an irritating buzzing sound as oppose to the satisfying 'click-clock', I turned down an even less well made up lane and caught my first sight of the solace that was the massage parlour..
I parked up outside, soaked to the skin, not even my underwear had escaped a drenching. A lady in her mid thirties, scuttled out with an umbrella, took my hand and led me into the foyet of the business..
Glad to be out of the rain, but still freezing cold, I took in my surroundings, which comprised of the usual Buddha and latest offerings to said deity..the mandatory bottle of strawberry fanta and a shot glass of water..we also had the obligatory wooden furniture which is more ornamental than practical, try sitting on a wooden sofa..it's fucking agony, I'd rather sit on the floor..which a herd of ladies were in fact doing..lazily turning over playing cards but eagerly spooning rotten bits of flesh into their riceholes.
Whether or not these women were trained maseueses(or however the fuck you spell it), was a moot point, but I had found a place to relax for an hour or two whilst the remains of the storm raced past in huge, angry clouds.
I was led upstairs and into a sparcely furnished room which the wench had the gumption to refer to as the VIP suite.
Is it fuck, woman. I've seen more welcoming sheds..
Although, I was delighted to note a television and after hitting standby on the remote, was greeted by the dolcit, comforting tones of Hugh Edwards (even though he's Welsh) talking about floods or bombs or earthquakes or whatever the fuck it was he was banging on about, for BBC News.
So settled into the confines of the small, musty den of filth, the lady gestured for me to get me kit off and into the massage gear which comprised of a pair of fooking pyjamas..fuck that..just give us that towel and I'll bung it round me waist eh..
The massage began as they normally do, a bit of toe clicking, a touch of calf kneading and a smattering of shin rubbing.
All this was of course followed by the compulsory thigh buffing, during which, testicle flicking and peenigh prodding seemed to be the flavour of the hour...."Are you trying to seduce me Mrs. Massage Lady?".
The rubdown finished and the young harlot sweetly enquired to whether or not I required any extra services..
I told her that due to her effort, I'd award her persistance by allowing her to administer a wank.
She was stunned; almost speechless..a hint of sadness welled in her eyes.
She quickly stood up, removed all her clothing and suggested that full intercourse take place..this of course being alot more profitable than a 2 quid hand job..
I toyed with the idea for a moment or two while she rub her tits all over me. I'm not a buftie like, but I decided in the negative..I'd only popped in for an hour or so's respite from the weather and here I was being propositioned by a working wench, suggestively girating her pelvis in the vicinity of my private parts...rude fucker..
I finally allowed her the honour of felatio, to which she replied.."Sai tung mai?"..(do you wanna use a johnny?)...actually fuck that, just give me the five knuckle shuffle and I'm offski..
Job done and I bung a load of 100 baht notes in her direction, get my shit together, hustle out of the door, head down the stairs where I pass the flock of hoes still eating and playing cards, bar one who's passed out on a table, snoring, with her mouth wide open..pop me shoes on, spark a smoke, head outside thankful the weather has cheered up, jumped on the bike and sped back along the potholed covered soi from whence I came......vowing never to go back....this month anyway..
So, to summarize..massage parlours are basically brothels..
