While they advertise Thai massage the women that work in these shops seem to mostly hail from mainland China. The Thai Happiness parlor is located near the previously reviewed Taizhilian Spa. It is right out on the main drag across from the well-known Landis Hotel. Those looking for extras would normally opt for the latter as is the case almost anywhere in the world. Once customers chose their service a woman on staff will offer to wash their feet in one of the basins at the back of the ground floor.
This seems to be optional though I would imagine anyone with even the possibility of stinky feet would probably get better service if they opted in for this.
After the foot wash customers are led up a flight of stairs into another floor with blue walls. There is a large clean bathroom at the end of the hall where customers can wash off before or after their sessions as well as a series of decent sized rooms with locking doors and walls that go all the way up to the ceiling for maximum privacy. There are some other rooms for Thai massages with mattresses on the floor. Customers are instructed to take off their clothes and get into a pair of black paper panties that are ridiculous as they sound.
If anyone has been to a massage parlor in China, Japan or Taiwan or has watched massaged-themed Japanese porn they will have an idea of what these things look like. The masseuse leaves the room while the customer get into their little paper pants and returns soon after. From there things go pretty much as one would expect in any massage parlor of this nature.
The customer lies down face first with his face through the hole in the massage table. The decent looking middle aged Chinese masseuse covers part of his body with a towel and works the remainder with oil.
