$75 just for massage
Decided to visit much discussed Buddhist massage at KP.
Was expecting $60 or $65 but $75 WTF for 1 hour.
Extremely cute Jap young lass but very little prelude, and covered in oil. Was thinking WTF some places all inclusive is $80. Quoted usual 50/100 but was less than energetic about it so I thought $75 plus a stone cold fish for 100 more - no thanks.
Left with 10 mins to go and when asked for hot towel to rub oil off comes in with 1 blue handkerchief sized luke warm wash cloth.
Just having cute girls doesn't cut it for me....def won't be back.

Where is this joint located in KP? Can’t seem to find it via Dr. Google
Better value down the road at the herb garden. Enthusiastic Korean and Jap girls for a $60 reasonable massage. The girls also like to be rewarded with a tip for good service.
Seems fair.
Sorry my theological reference was a bit too cryptic, care for some linguistics?Originally Posted by AboveBoard
PS please don't mention the war!
Really!!! It’s next to the kfc. Anyway $75 is way over the top.
if you don't mind, what place is this that you are referring to?
Fuck me this is just getting ridiculous
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme.
Seeing i dont know any shops in the area named Parsley, ill go with Rosemary, and yes he's right a very VFM punt there recently.
I believe u may b mistaken in your reference to Zen as a "theological reference". Theology is the study of the divine word of God, however Zen is a discipline of Ch'an Buddhism and is not considered divine nor is the Buddha considered a God. Like your Flowery Twats quotes man, i mentioned the war in a previous post but i think i got away with it. 😉
Thanks mate, much appreciated!
Better luck next time. Plenty of other shops around that can cater to your limited budget.
Its not my "limited budget" but my tolerance of exploitation.
Hard to understand how luck comes into it too......unless these comments are spurned by some aristocratic arrogance.
The shop has been running in various locations for something like 5 years and only increased it's prices by $5. Hardly what I would call exploitation, especially when the costs of running a business now days are always going up.
When you are walking in blind, you are relying on luck of the draw that you will find a good ML. But I agree with you, in my experience it isn't so much about luck as it is about the punter himself. Sure everyone has bad punts, I reviewed a couple of unfavourable ones myself recently. But a good punter can make the most out of a bad situation or just write it off as a rare dud without whining about a measly $5 being "exploitation"
Firstly may I say I respect both your experience and your point of view. I myself do not like the word punting...to me everyone wise enough knows the what and why that goes on in these shops. To punt implies taking a gamble - when I walk in I expect a service esp if I am paying money. I cannot justify writing it off as rare dud because we all know the duds are sometimes quite regular. I recently went to a herb shop where I had a first day first session WG. She obviously should not have been working there as her massage was poor and there was no hint of anything. So for a $60 I got an oil bath. Now I know some will say well that's the chance you take if you visit these types of shops but really. Overseas when I monger you always pay after.
I also believe that if you subscribe to the above average price is ok then you must also agree that the service must be above average. Asking $15 more for the massage implies better service.
I agree and are quite happy to pay for above average service for above average price but as I said I am not willing to punt on this.
I have often thought what is a "fair" price?
I second the opinion of this shop and always thought it was over rated.
Never had a full hour and now it’s at least $10 more than elsewhere.
Spend your money somewhere else.
$75 what a joke.
Guess a lot of guys have the dosh to dish out, else they wouldn't be in business
Had a massage from a Japanese girl here one evening. Offered body slide massage but wanted 3 pineapples on top of the cost of the massage. Declined and left when my hour was up. Never been back as many other places with lower rates and great services.
