Swan Thai Massage, Chinatown, Manchester
External Link/Members OnlyPrice: £40 for one hour (no extras)
Date: May 2021
Massage: 7/10
Extras: 0/10
Comms and locationPretty good. I rang to see if they had availability, and 5 minutes later I was naked on the table. As others have said, it's above another Thai massage place (Siamese Thai: which I think has generally very positive reviews). Further up the stairs is Swan Thai. You need to buzz the doorbell but you're in soon enough. I think next door upstairs is a male massage therapist (very well reviewed, if that's your thing).
MassageI was massaged by Tilly. She led me to the room (toilet and shower available if needed) and I paid the £40 for the hour. She was very friendly, dressed in the usual black top and leggings. I'd guess late 20s - she looked great and spoke good English.
The rooms are a bit standard, but once the lights are dim it's nice enough. Solid table (lower than standard) with a face hole.
I laid down on my front and the usual fare began. Towel (a bit of a drab one) covered me while she warmed my muscles up. Then a liberal application of oil before some pretty decent massage techniques. She got out some knots in my shoulders and it was a massage worthy of my username.
While doing this, she told me that she did extras, if I wanted B2B. Body to body isn't really my thing. I need to be in the mood and I'd probably agree it from the start rather than go through a haggling process. But that was all she offered: £70
extra for 30 minutes or £110
extra for the hour. At this point we're 5-10 minutes into my hour long massage...
I clarified if that was extra to the £40. She says yes. I politely decline and ask if she does a happy ending instead. She says that's her rates. I decline. I'm not negotiating down from £150 for a happy ending. She finished massaging my back then washed her hands from an annoyingly squirty tap in the corner, followed by her drying her hands on the towel covering my arse...
A pretty decent massage follows, including lots of inner thigh massage which was very nice, but with no further discussion except pleasantries. Another hand washing and arse towel drying session commences.
I turn over, and she provides further massage of my legs and thighs (a nice combination of firm and sensual). Then she moves to my head and provides the usual combination of strokes and prods of the forehead that some love and others hate. More hand washing.
Then she lifts the towel. I'm now thoroughly switched off from the massage and not in the mood for anything else. She then out of nowhere prods my dick and says merely: £30. Her English was more than good enough to be a bit more engaged.
I shook my head and offered £20, ready for her to say no. She did just that, indicated we were done and offered me a shower. I declined, left a tip for a decent enough massage anyway (I doubt she sees a huge amount of the house fee) and made my way home.
Conclusion (or lack thereof)She was friendly and gives a good massage, and I'd have given a 9/10 and a strong positive if she'd given a decent massage culminating in a £20 climax. I'd happily visit her for a legit massage if she worked somewhere where that was the deal. I'd have maybe even agreed the £30 if it had been offered in better circumstances. But £150 for B2B then switching off when I suggest that's too much... I'm not entertaining that. Maybe there's a bit of a war developing between SP and punter and £20 post lockdown isn't worth it anywhere. I get that. But I wasn't in the mood to engage after the first offer.
