The Thai massage...

The whole world knows that Thailand has incredible massages. They twist and turn your body into positions you normally couldn't attain yourself. So what would a trip to Thailand be without a massage? Challenge accepted. 

Mauro and I go to a super fancy place that gives you little slippers to wear throughout the intricate and maze like mansion. We get to our rooms and split, one per room. Inside, there is a table, a shower, a chair and counter with a bunch of items for he masseuse. This is where she warms up the oils. 

After showering and putting on a mesh banana hammock, she comes back into the room and starts to give me a head massage. This was the most bizarre head massage I have ever gotten. My noggin was literally being slapped like djembe. She moved all throughout my head and neck in a slapping and squeezing frenzy. 

Then it was to the table. I started on my stomach and was truly underwhelmed by what was to come. There was no stretching and there was no power or order to her massage. It was a random act of putting slight pressure on different back and leg muscles. When I turned over, it was more or less the same. Because of this I had noted to get a second opinion. It was s true disappointment to what my expectations were.
