Both prices were stated in the menu and I asked them why am i not allowed to take the $58 traditional massage? The manager snapped me and said the $89 hot oil kidney therapy includes full body massage from the head to the lower part of the body and the $58 only includes the upper part of the body which is just shoulders and arms. She even said all their patrons will pay for the $89 massage and why am I the wierd one who is not taking it.
After 5 mins I decided to try lah since 1 year plus never go for any massage liao. The masseuse came in was in her forties from the land of dragon and she have no clues on how to give a proper massage. She kept pouring lots of oil on my body and rubbing at the same place for many times. At one point, she even asked me to extend for another 30 mins which I will need to top up additional money. In my mind, I already wanted the massage to end quickly and get out, what's worse is yet to come. She suddenly attacked my genitals and stroke it. She told me you know the "market rate" to tip me. And when the session ends, i gave her one blue. And she asked where's the other blue? She said now needs 2 blue. I told her i have been giving one blue since one year plus ago. And she said now is 2022 liao, air tickets also increase. In my mind I am thinking what has it got to do with us. I told her I did not have extra cash, she kept asking me to use paynow or use the NETS machine at the counter.
As I am a married man, I know by using paynow or NETS will leave traces. She even said she will follow me to the ATM outside the Spa to withdraw cash. In order not to create a scene, I went out with her to withdraw the other $50 and passed it to her. Total damage is $189 and what a ripped off. A big lesson learned indeed and I vowed not to step into any massage palour ever again.

I do agree over the past 2 years, most spas are charging alot more or providing lesser massages at that price. I am thinking of going Natureland Spa. Clean and cheaper if i need.
