Comments from Utopians:

"The place is very big and when I arrived I was greeted by the sight of very good looking masseurs playing football shirtless. I went inside and was greeted by the very friendly manager. He was great! What he was lacking in English skills he certainly made up in personality and all smiles. The whole choosing process was a little awkward and very difficult. Not only do you have the masseurs all in front of you but they can hear all your comments/questions about them as the manager helps you make a choice. also, there were soooooooo many masseurs to choose that it was in itself a challenge. Most of the staff here are lean and slim (although muscular). My masseur's massage skills were OK. Too soft for my taste, though. I'd give him a 5.5/10. I ate food at their restaurant, which wasn't that great. Overall, i would say it's a solid place to go, but I wasn't wowed or even fully satisfied. But I will certainly give it another try. Maybe i will have better luck with the masseur next time. From Nana Sky Train Station, take Exit #3 and keep going straight about 20-30m and make a LEFT at the first corner. Keep walking straight ahead on Soi 11 (about 500m) till the road ends at a 7/11 and you have to make either a left or a right. Make a RIGHT, and at the next corner, where you will see President Solitaire Hotel, make a LEFT. Keep walking on the right side of the road and you will see the big sign for Albury." -- bilatin, Aug 24, 2011

Comments from Utopians:

"Just had a great massage experience at Guy Spa. Very professional and, yes, very nicely concluded. You can visit their website, choose your masseur and set up a reservation." -- Marty1, Dec 28, 2011

"I went to Guy Spa last week and last Thu again. The place has a very nice energy and the staff are very friendly, too." -- Paul, Oct 6, 2011

"Went to Guy Spa today. Had a massuer by the name of Mark. Excellent service by him :)" -- waile, Sep 19, 2011

"My first time in BKK and first gay spa. From start to finish I had the best first time ever! Professional service at the door. Welcome drink and wet towel. The masseurs are pretty good looking and mine spoke good enough English to have a proper conversation with and he even managed some witty comebacks to my questions!" -- azelee, May 9, 2011

"Stumbled upon Guy Spa, a gem of a place, which was just around the corner from my hotel. Chose the masseur from a selection of photos. Had a selection of about 15-20 masseurs, although not all were in. Had a good massage but the masseur's personality was even better. I'm very surprised that not more people seem to know this place given its proximity to both BTS and MRT stations. I went in as a customer but left feeling like a friend. " -- chas_scot, Apr 14, 2011

Comments from Utopians:

"The manager, although professional, seemed to be very noticeably impatient and in a hurry for me to make a decision and that made me feel very uncomfortable. I couldn't make up my mind so I waited a little bit and a few minutes later this Thai god just walked in. Exactly how I like them: tall, dark skin, not too much hair, big muscles, flat stomach, with thick muscular legs, handsome face and smile, very MANLY. He was very professional, had a great personality and made me feel very welcome and safe. After the shower/rub (he was very thorough) he gave me the best massage I've gotten in Bangkok and possibly in any of the places I've been in Asia. he was not only an excellent masseur, he was gifted in many departments - soooooooooooooo awesome. I was super-duper-exceedingly satisfied." -- bilatin, Aug 24, 2011

"I went to UrbanMale Massage. Massage was good. My masseur was Bom." -- rogers125, Dec 28, 2011

"Massage is very good and service is nice!" -- guyfromsky, Oct 3, 2011

"Last week I visited UrbanMale Massage. I was very positively impressed by the venue. It was clean and friendly. I was informed about the possibilities and prices. Then all the masseurs lined up in front of me. To be honest, that's not my thing, but it was still OK. The biggest problem wa whom to choose. There were many really nice and well-built masseurs. After I chose one, I was accompanied to a clean room with a bath. I took a 2-hour massage, which was really held according to the promise. My masseur was very cute and took care to ensure I felt well. This is probably traditional Thai hospitality and happy culture. I felt really great both physically and personally. The only drawback was the language limitation, so I could not talk completely freely. Summarizing, based on my happy experience, I would deeply recommend this massage place." -- facet36, Mar 29, 2011
