I will be very sad if this place is going downhill. I guess no one can stay on top forever. Kama is (used to be?) really a great place. To me, the absence of tip negotiation alone deserves my support. Just as this report was posted, another report appears here on S.P.A. (too lazy to spell out the latin name), which mentions that the girl asked for an $1000 tip just before she was about to BJ. What a shitty experience it must have been (at least to me)!
Coming out of my self-imposed celibacy, I have been back to Kama twice in the past 10 days. Lucky for me my experience ranged from "life-changingly good" to "above average". In fact, I almost never got a bad service there (as Twice remarked). I believe I must be doing something right. As a guy who likes to "figure things out", I would like to tell you some of my observations.
Bro Mister remarked that "the raid seems to have broken Kama's spirit". You probably are not very familiar with how these places operate. Almost every well-known spa on this forum has been raided. In fact, one of the wildest punts of my life occurred within the week after the raid. They were really grateful to see old fans coming back to support them, and they really know how to show their gratitude... This brings me to my first observation: after the raid, they shifted their focus towards regulars and tend to cold-shower random guys who walked in. I have witnessed that, and the difference in service can be quite large.
Then, how to become a regular, the receiving end of their gratitude? Observation no.2: you can quickly become a regular by ALWAYS booking on whatapp before you go (see below), and by ALWAYS sending your feedbacks (good or bad) after the service. In fact, negative feedbacks are actually better received. I sometimes texted Joy to tell her about the lack of hot water in shower, or dam towels, inadequate massage, or about the god-damned christmas tree. These feedbacks are the express highway to become their favourite customer! The next time I went, I got hot water, clean towel, the best masseuse, and even they won't throw away the fucking christmas tree, I was given glasses of wine every time I turned up. In other words, I have become a VIP, by making complaints to them!
It's not difficult to understand why. In a city where everything, even interpersonal relationships, is disposable, they treasure customers who show the willingness of helping them become better. YMMV applies, market rules, and if disappointed we can always go to the next shop. But what if you told them what's wrong? What if you gave them one more chance? The results can be very very surprising? And I repeat: when a kama girl is grateful, she really, really knows how to show it.
I guess this rule applies to all other self-repecting premises. E.g., there was a report on BSS here last week. As a guy who knows the predecessor of this place very well, I wanted to kick the OP for not talking to the mamasan about his negativity. That's what a mamasan is for!
Observation no. 3: always tell Joy what kind of girls you want. I never asked to see photos. Instead I tell her my state of mind and let her choose for me. This is where her true gift lies. I am always very specific. When I felt lonely and just wanted a 90 min hug, I told her. When I felt pain on my lumbar spine L4-L5 (yes I was THAT specific), I told her. In fact, that L4-5 incidence was the first time I was introduced to the legendary Chloe.
Kama, like Lan Kwai Fong, can sometimes disappoint. It can be messy and some times fails to deliver. But do we really want it vanish? Like LKF it's what makes Hong Kong charming. One day it will disappear. But before then, I'd like to support it. | |
