[QUOTE=Prius Driver]Here is my take on Thai massage places in Tokyo in response to Inasia's query. Thai massage places in Tokyo are similar to Chinese esute places but they massage you on a futon on the floor instead of the special massage table. Also the Thai massages tend to be much better than the Chinese massages. And finally they use both hands and feet for an all around better massage experience. In my experience it is hard to get all the three criteria. That is a shower with the girl, HJ and showing of skin. The only place I've had a shower with the girl was at Misspuke. However they can't give you a HJ there and they don't show any skin. For a list of Thai massage places around Japan check out [url]www.night.ne.jp[/url]. (In Japanese)I've been to Thai Style in Ikebukuro. They don't show skin or give you a shower but they give very nice massage and a HJ for extra. Half way through my 90 minute oil massage, the girl asked if I would like a HJ for 2000 yen extra. I said yes and then she gave me a nice HJ while she played with my nipples. Afterwards she continued with the massage until time was up. I paid her the extra 2000 yen as I was leaving. I had a shower before the massage and after the massage.Pappong in Ikebukuro also doesn't show skin or give you a shower. I think the main reason they don't give showers is because the shower is too small. Upon entering, Pappong have a menu with the massage and oil massage prices and VIP prices. The VIP course is 2000 yen more and includes a HJ at the end of the massage. I also get to shower myself before and after the massage here.With both these places it's best to give them a call first as they can get very busy. I usually tell them that I'll be there in around half an hour. Of course you can reserve a time as well. Only in Japanese of course.[/QUOTE]Thanks Prius Driver. I agree. My experience has been similar. The massages are really much better at the Thai places. If you have stiff shoulders or a bad back as I sometimes do, if you go in there, they'll loosen you up pretty good. One of the girls I saw a picture of, I actually knew from Thailand from a couple of years ago. She worked at a "legit" massage place in Bangkok. Maybe I'll check out one of the 2 places you metnioned.
