The Full Thai Body Oil Massage
I thought by now that I should introduce some culture to this blog: Thai massage is embedded into Thai culture...right? So, I'm ushered into this very dimly lit cubicle, partitioned by pieces of cloth masquerading as curtains. I'm told to go full monty and await my fate. A lithe young Thai girl slithers onto the mattress and vigorously works on the lower back part of my legs. After all of my daily walking, the feeling is intense, and I start making strange growling sounds. I can hear some girls outside giggling and realise that they can also see me from a dome video right above the bed...so much for privacy. During the course of one hour, I'm elbowed, walked on, twisted, bent, sat on, pulled....well, you get the idea. Liberal amounts of tiger balm are applied to 99% of my body and I walk out of there $12 lighter and feeling like a million dollars.
