Checked out of The Dynasty Grande, and took one of the hotel cars to Bangkok International Suvarnabhumi Airport to catch my flight to Chiang Mai. Thai Airways was quite a bit dearer than Nok Airways and the other no thrills operators, however they appear to be one of the only operators flying the domestic routes out of Suvarnabhumi. The other domestic carriers have all been relocated back to the old Don Muang, so depending on your connecting flights, etc, it's worth making sure you have enough time between flights and /or airports. :wink:
The flight to Chiang Mai left on schedule, and landed accordingly. The baggage seemed to take an eternity to appear, but eventually popped out on the conveyer. Grabbbed a private taxi to the Imperial Mae Ping Hotel, located close to all the action, and checked in only to find the room I'd been allocated had two single beds.
Called down to reception, and arranged to change to a room with a Queen Size bed.Went for a walk with the aim of finding Suk Sabai Massage, which I soon found.
Suk Sabai massage is located near the South East corner of the moat wall, same road as the one bordering Pantip Plaza at the end of Chang Klan Rd. The business is supposed to be owned by a former Casanova Ladyboy that financed the set-up with her savings from the Casanova days. Previously she had been known as Christina, and now she calls herself Tou. A two hour massage will set you back about 250 or 300 baht. Alot of money appears to have been spent setting up the massage studio, and it features a nice lobby and air conditioned massage area upstairs.
Entered the small shop, but the main attraction, Tou, was busy administering a foot massage to one of two Thai Chinese older gentlemen, whilst an oldish Thai lady looked after the other.
I enquired about a foot massage, and Tou quickly picked up the phone and summonsed some Thai girl to the shop to provide me with my foot massage. Before this girl had laid a finger on me, it was obvious she had virtually no idea what she was doing, and gave me the worst massage I've ever had in my life, and that's saying something.
I didn't realise at the time, but later that day I noticed she had left me with these red welts behind my knees.
After the torture session was over, I did manage to talk with Tou, and explain my interest in ladyboys and association with this website. Never bothered returning to Suk Sabai after that incident, but I got the impression that Tou herself was quite proficient, and whilst no oil painting, may satisy your urges should you find yourself up North.
