Mae Sot Thai Massage

I realize that I say this a lot, but, I'm going to try to go for short posts often, rather than long posts not often.

I start today.

Today I finally got the 2-hour Thai massage at the government run massage place on the highway. I'd heard good things about it but it was always full whenever I've tried to go. This time they were closing, but a nice lady decided she would stay to give me a massage.

I thought the 2-hour massage would be like a 1-hour massage but doing each thing twice as long. I was totally wrong. There was a whole new set of twists and pulls that I had never done before!

2 hours, 180 baht ($5.38, 3.69Euros, 44.68 Quetzals).

I'm on a mission to find a place that smells nice, plays nice music and gives good massages. I have a feeling it's not going to happen in Mae Sot.

They scored super high on giving good massages.

The room didn't have any nice smells, but the clothing they gave me to put on smelled nice and the lady's hands/soap in the bathroom smelled nice too.
There was no music and the lady had the TV on playing horrible Thai sitcoms, so no points there.

Very good to know about, but I'm going to keep looking.

  1. 2 hours of being twisted and pulled was good? - not too long? I hope you came out feeling relaxed even with the bad sitcoms.

  3. The price sounds right. I, ofcourse, have no idea what the going rate is.Do you understand enough Thai to know what their sitcoms are about? Impressive!! Are they as bad as most of the ones here?
