Recommendations for Thai massage from the author 35eg35

Massage has long been one of the hallmarks of Thailand.

We'll make an agreement right away; the conversation will be about MASSAGE. Many sites unwittingly created the opinion that almost all massage parlors in Pattaya and Bangkok are a solid "boom-boom" ("boom-boom" in Thai jargon - having sex). This is not so!

In most salons, "boom boom" will not roll for any money. The conversation will focus not only on Thai, but also on the most common types of massage offered to tourists.

The first problem is how to choose a good massage parlor

I'll give you some tips:

1. Location. Look on the main streets, not on jays, alleys, dead ends. Massage at the hotel is a good service, but you have to understand that it's not professionals who work there, but the same hotel staff.

   

   For them, this is an additional income. You should not take massage on the beach seriously either.

   

   This is a typical divorce of retired grandmothers. With the same success, ask any "carrot" and she will immediately say that she knows the techniques of Thai massage.

   I can recommend several good salons on the second street on the left side, if you go from McDonald's to the south (to Jomtien). I checked on myself. Here is one of them:

   

2. Pay attention to the room, its size, cleanliness, design. Special attention to furniture. Good salons buy special transformable massage chairs, and this is not cheap.

3. Number of staff. A professional will not combine the positions of a masseur and a scrubber! Even barkers on the streets most often do not massage themselves, but combine the functions of an administrator, cashier, cleaner, etc.

4. Some types of massage require private rooms. If you are offered to do Thai massage in the common room – leave without hesitation! This type of massage is done in a separate room and you should be offered to change into a special kimono. Foot, head and neck massages are performed in the common room.

5. Ask if there is a shower. If not, then after the oil massage you will be offered to wipe yourself with a towel!!!

6. If you have chosen a salon, then trust him, first of all, your legs.You will feel the hack right away!

It is necessary to mention the sex of masseuses. On the second street, right in front of "BOYS TOWN", ....

.... there is a salon with male massage therapists. Single ladies and European homosexuals like to visit there. If anything – don't be surprised! I have warned you.

The second problem is what kind of massage to choose.

I want to focus on some aspects of specific species.

1. Thai massage. Is done no more than twice a week! It is quite tough, but it has a very beneficial effect on the spine and internal organs. If you have had serious injuries to muscles, tendons, ligaments, then this is a contraindication. If the injury was a long time ago, it healed well, there are no complaints and I really want to, then at least warn me, indicate the problem area with gestures! It is not recommended for varicose veins.

   

   In good salons, where professionals work, and not people from the street, the masseur is interested: "does it hurt?" - and based on your reaction, it doses the load.

2. Oil-massage. The main thing: do not eat before the procedure, because everyone will crumple, including the stomach! Let's go on an empty stomach!!! Massage is very pleasant and beneficial. It has almost no contraindications, but it is better to indicate the presence of postoperative sutures, hernias to the masseur. I draw the attention of those who are particularly shy that for this massage the patient undresses completely. In some salons in Bangkok, women are offered disposable panties.

   

   In the good salons of Pattaya, the masseuse covers your body with towels (5-6 pcs.) so that you do not feel uncomfortable, and, alternately opening one part of the body, then another, performs the procedure.

   

   After Oil, there is always a feeling of hunger (an indicator of quality). Personally, I liked this massage the most.

3. Massage of the head and back. For Thais, back massage is not the main thing, so 75% of the time will be spent on the head. That's the way they do it. It is done reclining on a chair, or lying down.

   

   There are almost no contraindications. Massage relaxes, soothes. Personally, I almost fell asleep. Hand massage is also included in this procedure. If desired, they wash their hair in good salons.

4. Foot massage. Everything is clear with this.

   

   I can only say that in some salons they wash their feet, in others they wipe them with a warm, damp towel. Both are allowed.

Gadgets

1. Massage with aromatherapy oils – more expensive. Essentially the same Oil-massage, but with the addition of 2-3 oils of your choice. I don't see the point in paying almost twice as much.

2. "Newlyweds' massage" - sometimes combined with spa treatments. The main differences: beautiful surroundings, massage both on adjacent tables at the same time. Not all salons practice. More common in Bangkok.

3. "Massage in 4 hands." Is mainly done by oil and costs more. If you want, make an agreement, but, in my opinion, this is superfluous.

4. Massage with the use of objects: sticks, pebbles, herbal bags, balls, etc. This does not give any special advantages, but there will be new sensations. If you like it, try it. Not all salons practice.

5. "Fish massage" is known to everyone who has ever been to Thailand. Sit down and put your feet in the aquarium, and the "hungry" fish do their job. This procedure with tension can be attributed to massage, but it's worth a try.

   

   Not recommended for those who are ticklish. There were cases when a scream mixed with laughter stood all over Pattaya.

   

6. "Body massage" - the topic is covered on the Internet. I will not stop. I can only say that this has nothing to do with the actual massage and is a "sexual service".

Prices

Average prices are visible on the price list of one of the decent PTT salons. Prices may be slightly lower, but as a rule, the class of these salons is much lower.

Prices above average indicate only a good location and more patients. There may be higher prices in shopping malls due to taxes and rent. I don't recommend going there. Lying in a large hall with glass walls, where another 15 people are crumpled, is a dubious pleasure. Grannies from Europe prefer it more.

Choose the average price, which is more common, but taking into account the recommended criteria.

CONCLUSIONS: The choice of salon and type of massage should be approached reasonably and without haste. Consider your health status. Professional massage therapists do not work on the beaches. Don't fall for "divorces".

Have a good relaxation!
