A Relaxing Massage Thai Style

Okay true confession after my experience with Indonesian massage, I wasnt too sure I would ever have another massage LOL

This hotel has a spa - I did check out the prices - comparable to costs in the US... During class I had my students posting charges to the Spa (Spahhhhhhh) and mentioned I love massage - they told me you must go to the beach for massage - much cheaper than the hotel...so I did

mmmm, ahhhh, ohhhh, mmmm, good... I elected to have an Aromatherapy Massage - the scent was wonderful... this was more like what I was familiar with - though in Thailand the massage includes stretching of the muscles, and the masseuse uses her fingers, elbows, knees and even feet to manipulate the body. It really felt quite good...

And the cost was 1 10th of the hotel... it worked out to about $10/hour... yes I have had several since I have been here...
