I was passing through Telford about three weeks ago on a Friday afternoon and was looking for a Thai massage. I initially tried to get an appointment at the Star in Telford but when I rang the earliest I could get in was in a couple of hours time which didn't work for me. I therefore did a quick search on Google and the Thai Orchid at Wellington came up. I decided I would give it a go and see what happened.
External Link/Members OnlyI found a car park easier enough, which was free for three hours, and walked down to the shop. When I went inside I was met by a slim lady, probably mid 50's and she asked me to complete a registration form. I had booked 90 minutes and was asked to pay her there and then. So I handed over £60.
I was taken to a room on the first floor at the front of the building and overlooking the street outside and asked to undress. I was told to keep my boxers on. I said I never wear these for a massage and asked if I could take them off. The girl said yes, OK. At this point I thought, maybe there will be some extra's. Anyway, laid down on the bed and immediately covered with a large towel. The masseuse was called Amy who said she was Korean and was probably around 40'ish though hard to tell. She was nice and friendly and she gave a decent enough massage whilst allowing touching of her legs and bum. However, any hand movements elsewhere and I was told not to be naughty.
I asked several times if she there were any extras and each time was told 'not in this shop'. The thing is Amy was saying things like, 'you are in good condition' (I'm not) and other platitudes which made me think that something might be on offer.
Overall the massage wasn't bad, she used a lot massage aids on me such as rolling pins (sorry don't know if there is a proper name for this) and things to pound you with. That was all a bit novel and never had that even in Thailand.
In summary, decent enough massage, price was reasonable but nothing else on offer. Maybe if you are a regular it is different!
