As mentioned earlier in this thread, I thought it worth my while to go to Thai Spa and check it out. It was hard to tell - lots of pretty Thai girls eager to get me into a massage room, no appointment required. But, it was a "real" spa with fluffy towels for sale and it smelled like a friggin' high-end outfit in the Sutton Place. I thought I'd TOFTT and try a 45 minute session.
I got what could be described as the most incredible massage of my life, and while the attendant was trying to get me to go for the "full body" one hour massage, I didn't get the impression she had release on her mind.
I'll go again, do the one-hour deal and try another attendant and see what, if anything, happens. Either way, it's worth the bucks since it really is an insanely amazing rub.
Is there a secret handshake? Eye wink?
