While I was on my impromptu secret trip to Thailand, I, of course, had to meet up with Sawng. It was my first full day in Bangkok and his last, so we planned our usual ritual—a quick one-hour massage.
We walked from the BTS towards Wisdom Massage, passing by the familiar row of shops. The sidewalk was surprisingly quiet, with hardly anyone around. When we peeked into Wisdom, the place looked empty, so we decided to turn back and head to Olivia Massage 7 instead.
As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by the therapists sitting at the front of the shop and quickly ushered inside. I guess it’s the low season, so any customer who stops by is welcomed immediately. After choosing our massages and settling the payment, we found ourselves seated on the large throne-like massage chairs.
For foot massages, you don’t get to choose your therapist, so it’s really down to luck whether you get a great one. I was assigned Mr. Keng (No. 1), the same therapist who had greeted us at the entrance and prepared my chair. Meanwhile, Sawng was assigned to Mr. Bobo (No. 18).
Everything moved quickly at Olivia. My feet were washed, the throne was reclined into a fully flat bed, and Mr. Keng covered me with a comfortable blanket. From the moment he started, I knew I had lucked out. I had been hoping for a firm massage, and he absolutely delivered. His technique was spot on, with just the right amount of pressure.
About two or three minutes into the massage, Sawng messaged me, “You got the one that you liked.”
That was when I realised I recognised Mr. Keng. I had seen his photo on Olivia’s LINE account last year and had wanted to book him ever since. Somehow, by pure luck, I had been assigned to him.
Fifteen minutes into the session, I was already messaging Sawng, asking whether I should book Mr. Keng again for either a traditional Thai massage or an oil massage. His foot massage was so impressive that I wanted to find out whether his full-body treatments were just as good.
The fifty minutes flew by, followed by the short neck, shoulder, and back massage that concluded the session. By then, I knew I had to experience a full-body massage with him.
I didn’t have the courage to ask Mr. Keng directly whether he had any availability later that day, so after returning to my hotel, I contacted the shop through their LINE account instead.
The admin took a while to reply and arrange the booking. My original plan was to book Mr. Keng for a late-night session after having dinner with a Singaporean friend who had been posted to Bangkok for work. Unfortunately, Mr. Keng wasn’t available that evening, and he would be on leave for the rest of my trip.
Not wanting to leave Bangkok with any regrets, I decided to book a two-hour Thai and Oil massage before my dinner appointment. Fortunately, the admin managed to fit me in that very same day.
After sending Sawng off at the airport, I returned to my hotel to rest and get ready for my second session with Mr. Keng. I underestimated the BTS travel time and ended up arriving slightly late. When I checked in at the reception, Mr. Keng immediately recognised me as the same customer he had treated just a few hours earlier.
After settling the payment, Mr. Keng led me upstairs. It was my first time trying a full-body massage at Olivia. Climbing to the fourth floor was more tiring than expected, but I was assigned the corner room, which was surprisingly spacious and didn’t feel cramped at all.
Mr. Keng asked me to take a shower first, and I replied in Thai. Only then did he realise that I could speak Thai, so for the rest of the session we chatted mostly in Thai, switching to English whenever I didn’t know the right Thai word.
The shower facilities at Olivia were fairly basic. My only complaint was the shower gel, as I personally didn’t like its scent, although that’s entirely a matter of personal preference. Before leaving the room to give me some privacy, Mr. Keng handed me the traditional Thai massage outfit.
After changing, he returned and asked me to lie face down before beginning the Thai massage. His style was quite different from the sequence I had experienced at other massage establishments. Rather than following a familiar routine, he worked intuitively, but his pressure was consistently firm and powerful. For a dry-style Thai massage, his strength was genuinely impressive.
We chatted throughout the session, mostly in Thai with the occasional English word mixed in. As he worked on my thighs and inner thighs, my body reacted naturally. Mr. Keng appeared completely unfazed and handled the situation professionally while continuing the massage.
Before long, it was time for the oil massage segment. After changing out of the Thai massage attire, I was again asked to lie face down. Personally, I thought this was where Mr. Keng truly excelled. He found several stubborn knots around my shoulders and worked patiently to loosen them. He also used a number of massage techniques and strokes that I hadn’t experienced before, particularly while working around my glutes.
When it was time to turn over, Mr. Keng asked whether I was interested in an additional service. I agreed, curious to experience what he had to offer. Mr Keng’s oar was nicely sized with quite a big paddle. He reached his destination and spread his offering all over. He also helped me reach my destination and allowed me to continue playing his oar.
The session concluded as expected, and I left feeling thoroughly satisfied with the overall experience.
Overall, Mr. Keng is a highly skilled therapist with a muscular, daddy-like physique and exceptional strength. His firm pressure was exactly what I had been looking for, and I certainly didn’t regret making the last-minute reservation. If I return to Bangkok, he will definitely be someone I’d book again.
After hearing how much I had enjoyed the session, Sawng encouraged me to return to Olivia and try another therapist I had been interested in. And so, the Olivia Experience series was born.
Next up: Mr. Tiger (No. 20).
