Thai Massage

No, that’s not a euphemism.  It seems like every fifth storefront in Chiang Mai is a massage parlor.  Some are just stools and pails, offering foot massages.  Some are full spas.  They are all pretty cheap.  We’ve taken to having one service a day.  We started with a foot massage during the Sunday Market, on the sidewalk.  Then we tried a body massage (clothed) that you do in a communal room on a mat on the floor.  Then another foot massage.  Today we’re off to one of the fancy spas for facial, body scrub, and hot oil massage.  We’re working our way up.  The first experience was 70 baht, which is about $2.20USD.  We still haven’t spent more than $4.  Amazing and addicting.
