I know the topic is hackneyed, but this post was written a long time ago, it was just that the hands did not reach to put his case on the network. Although perhaps someone does not know anything about this very massage, what it really is. I remember myself, before my trip to Thailand, I thought that this was by no means connected with massage, but with completely different things, well, you know what I mean. For some reason, in Russia, it is this expression that is used to refer to erotic massage. Nobody knows where it came from? Maybe the very first tourists who visited Pattaya introduced this term?

Thai traditional massage
When we arrived at Chiang Mai, everyone asked me if I had tried Thai massage in Thailand, and it so happened that only two months later we reached the massage parlor. That's how lazy we are 🙂
Pants will fall off me now
Thai body massage (Body massage) turned out to be very innocent, no erotic and porn, although if you enter in a search engine » body massage in thailand » it will be about this. As I understand it, this is mainly found in Pattaya, and even then not everywhere, so there is no need to be afraid of the inscriptions of body massage. So we were not only dressed in loose clothes so as not to touch the body, but also given a masseur of the appropriate gender. Moreover, women can also be massaged by ladyboys. Daria did just that, at least in appearance it was definitely a ladyboy.

Foot massage is done without being attached to the floor and using improvised means (sticks of some kind). A very pleasant thing, and convenient in that you do not need to change your clothes and go about your business at the time of massage, for example, write an article on a laptop.

Thai massage and locals do not hesitate
By itself, traditional Thai massage is acupressure and strong enough, not very relaxing, so it can really hurt someone. Although you can ask to do weaker. I saw this picture in Bangkok: a farang guy howled from every touch of a masseur, I don't know what was wrong with his body, because they did it visually the same way as me. True, I am a lover of strong clicks and I was only in a high.
Once we got into a conversation with a woman who was giving me a foot massage. We tried to find out if she feels any energy and state of a person by touch. If we understood each other correctly, then there is no esotericism here, just the masseurs do their job, click on the dots and look at the reaction, by which they can determine what is wrong. And not all of this can, but only masseurs with experience.
How much does a Thai massage cost
In Chiang Mai, 150 baht (150 rubles), and in Phuket, 300 baht (300 rubles) - for one hour of foot or body massage. Oil massage is slightly more expensive, 250 and 400, respectively. This is just a magical price to pay for such a pleasant time. Our prices in Moscow are several times higher ...
The most interesting thing is that in a decent salon with air conditioning and leather seats, the cost was the same as on the streets under the open sky on a plastic chair ... At least in Chiang Mai.

Thai massage videos
Well, and for those who are interested in how a traditional Thai body massage looks like, I can offer a video. An hour of massage will be reduced to two minutes. For the most part, they are engaged in the lower half of the body, so it seems to me that it is best to take two hours so that the entire body has time to be done. Or, alternatively, ask to do a back massage (back), then only the upper part will be processed.
