Thai Massage

I have been pampered, pummeled, pushed and pulled a few times on my travels, all voluntarily and all paying good money for.  Each has been good in its own way but I have to say the Thai Herbal Massage that I have had was just incredible.  You may wonder why I might need a massage with the relaxation that I have been doing recently but I have to say that walking around a city in flip flops can take its toll on the feet, the ankles and the back.  The massage I chose was to relieve aches, pains and tensions in the muscles and to improve circulation.  It worked very well and I felt great at the end but I did have to endure two hours of being pulled, pummeled, stretched, bent, and rubbed.  Plus, after all that was over I was pummeled with what I can only describe as a super heated pestle that I think had been boiled in a herbal infusion before being pressed all over me.  Very strange, but very good and my muscles did feel much better afterwards.  It is just a shame that I still need to walk the streets in my flip flops.
