  1. Late response...but it does answer the OP. In chinatown there's a few barber shops -i should say barber shops wink wink- hidden in the back-alleys, where they offer more than just a haircut. I did go to one for a haircut, which was a whole new experience, explaining I want my hair cut with clippers, but not shaved, to the old chinese lady doing the hair-cutting. I also got a bottle of beer to enjoy. And after I was done, I got a kiss from a younger gal and she offered to take me upstairs for a massage, making it very clear it was NOT going to be a massage. Sadly I had to decline. About a year ago, back in BKK, I got in the mood for a traditional chinese massage and went to chinatown again. And I found it, again a barber shop, albeit this one did have "massage" on the window. Interesting experience, the woman was old (I'm guessing way over 60) and the massage was very different from traditional thai (and very different from the slapping on oil stuff): no oil, a lot of pushing and pulling and trying to bend limbs into positions they should not go. At times I had to tell her I'm really not able to fold my left leg behind my right ear... but despite that, amazingly relaxing. After the massage there was more in store, which I did not decline, despite her being very saggy everywhere. Let's just say she knew what she was doing, good job and worth a repeat when i'm there again. I'm racking my brain and looking at the map, but I can't remember where exactly both barbers were. I think the first one was in the back alleys of Maha Chak rd, South of Yaowarat and the second one was W/NW of 22 july roundabout.
