Thai Massage Chang Mai

We took our first flight in over a month to escape the 17 hours on a train, or 16 hours on a bus to get up to chang mai! We were both a bit worried getting onto the smallest propellered plane that had been painted bright colours by the local school or something! (classy airline!)

One of the first things weve done since being here is go for a thai massage - there advertised everywhere, and last just over an hour!

We chose a rather reputable looking place and was told to change into to some Thai clothing. Then, both on the floor in the same room, our massage began.! The two women started massaging your feet which was okay..... i certainly thought that this could be quite a good hour! Then my masseuse starts going crazy and stretching and bending me in ways that i shouldnt be bent! Looking over at Bex..... she seemed okay! The bending and stretching continued for a while until i started laughing (this wasnt humourous laughing - she was trying to rip my leg off....then bend it back into place!). Bex was still looking relaxed. The woman massaging me told me to start tapping the floor if i felt pain.... and then started laughing with her fellow masseuse. This continued for the next hour, and i was repeatedly told to relax just before kneeing me in the back, and then walking along my back (she wasnt the dainty thai women you see advertised.... she certainly went back for seconds at sunday lunch!). Tapping the floor became a survival instinct!. Of course.... Bex was still looking relaxed as ever and didnt recieve half the treatment i did.

We had planned to learn the art of Thai massage up here..... but after this experience id get locked up for domestic abuse!

Hi Kimberly....... Bex went back a few days later and they asked her if she wanted another massage...... and she said she was a bit sore, and that i was having some pain! When she said i had had the older lady.... they just laughed saying the other one is alot better! Mine was into pain apparently....... whatever floats your boat i guess!!
