Much thanks to everyone who post reports on this site. Really helped my research going in. Sharing my experiences.
Hotel: Summer Breeze.
A lot of pluses to this hotel. IMO perfect location. Half a block to hit Bangla, which makes logistics of bringing a girl back easy. Far enough away that there's no real noise issues. This street becomes the scooter parking area during nights, which means a good spot to pick up stray FLs are they end their shifts. Staff is very friendly. No joiner fees. They even rent open rooms for ST to working girls. Main gripe: Wifi is spotty.
Katherine's massage.
Went during happy hour. Quoted 2 K with no fuss. Line-up and selection was very straightforward. Room was nice and clean with shower. Service was very well done. Massage with nice transition into teasing followed by BBBJ, FS. Great attitude, although mine provider is visiting from Bangkok and is leaving in a couple of days. The place is in a weird area. The buildings are colorful but run down. If anyone knows the movie Expendables 2, it has the feel of that Soviet made mock American city run down kind of feel. Very wide roads, with minimal vehicles and people. Agree, getting a taxi to Twin Inn is a great option. I had time so I tried a shuttlebus from Patong Beach Road / Bangla intersection that cost 30 THB. Drop off at Phuket Town took 50 minutes plus another 15 minute stroll, but gave me a chance to see the area. Overall, I was impressed with Katherine's. A little out of the way from Patong.
