Comments from Utopians:

"Visited 2 Brothers on three occasions recently and had a great time. The location is central and easily found. The welcome was friendly and the advice helpful in securing the right masseur each time. Every one of the massages was spot on and the staff were keen to ensure I had a good experience. Last session was a 4-handed massage which was brilliant! The best in Chiang Mai right now." -- Carit B., Dec 4, 2011

Comments from Utopians:

"Not to be missed, especially Num, 22-year-old masseur from Chiang Mai. This little place is hard to find - in an old, two-story Thai house a couple blocks south of the New My Way Bar. Most varieties of massage cost B$500 for an hour and a half, tip to the masseur another B$500. You get an aircon room with hot water shower and a large selection of handsome masseurs who are exceedingly anxious to please. Open noon-midnight, but more masseurs on hand after 4pm. From repeated personal experience, highly recommended!" -- Monte, Dec 20, 2011
