Pandora Thai Massage - Eagle Rock/Glendale
First time in 2-3 years that I went to an MP and didn't get at least a HJ. I mostly knew better going in and was prepared to be happy with a good massage at a decent rate and small tip. The only thing that pisses me off is that they advertise under adult services on CL. So there is some false advertising going on there. Otherwise, can't really complain much as I know well that the vast majority of signed storefront Thai Massage joints in L. A. Are not easy HE territory.
The CL ad is not a come on to HE hunters. It discusses massage in serious therapeutic terms with no wink wink other than the pic of a very cute Thai girl and the title mentions "22 year old Thai Girl". But otherwise, it is a dry ad. The place is on Verdugo an 8th of a mile west of the 2 Fwy and ERB. So many R&Ts in the neighborhood I went with wishful thinking hoping for decent massage and HJ. I got only the former.
I could catalog 23 "tells" that I'd get HE and 23 that I would not. But seeing the location and all the signs on the door and window let me know in my heart that this was very likely massage only. The girl at the desk was young and adorable and wearing something like a tent. Legs exposed and no clothing obstructions on the road north. She looked 17 and was very acne scarred, but no doubt more than old enough. I was happy that she turned out to be my masseuse.
One reason I went in is that it looked as if it would accommodate private rooms from the outside. But inside I found the massage room divided into two by a curtain and entrance was through a curtain. Private as long as nobody is on the other side of the curtain and for sure on this quiet Sunday morning, nobody was. Not much room for a masseuse to operate around the big massage table. One of the 23 hopeful signs. Hell, this room was like what they do to a house that I have attended some private "ho" parties at. Too many ho's, not enough bedrooms so they are subdivided by curtains leaving little room or privacy.
She told me to get naked (another of the 23 hopeful signs). Her massage was elegantly therapeutic and yes, sensual. But I accepted HE defeat when her massage of my legs while I was face down, did not travel far up my thighs and a sheet was covering my butt. She told me to flip and I asked for a butt massage. Now totally defeated but still wanting a damn butt massage. She delivered this without tease, and I turned around to receive only a 2/3 of the lower extremities massage from the front and its all over. I asked her for HE and she said no. I asked "never? " and she convincingly replied, "no, never". Fine. I dressed and tipped her only $10. I regret now that I didn't tip $20 because she delivered a fine massage. It just stuck in my craw a little bit that the advertisement I answered was placed where players look. But I don't think this girl directs the shop's marketing campaign. So I do regret my cheapness.
She's clearly a very competent masseuse and I did enjoy her light sensual approach which actually, I had requested. I don't doubt she can really get down with strong deep pressure too.
An hour of quality Swedish massage was.5. Thai massage is offered at a lower price with early bird discounts. So not a bad place if you just want a quality massage from young Thai girls.
If it's legit. then name it

Thanks for the great report but I wish you could just tell us EXACTLY where this legit. place is and not been coy about it. Who cares if LE is watching as they ain't offering anything illegal. Let us know so those of us who want extras will avoid it and those who like "Thai-tease" massages will partake.
