Bloggers Bunking Bangkok: Touch Our Body

"Please take off your bathrobe and lie down."

We get on the bed and lie facedown. We didn't need to do anything, for the service, all we had to do was just enjoy the pleasure and sensation.

She started slowly. Facedown, we couldn't see a thing, best to just close our eyes. Pushing the blanket aside from our right leg, she places her palms on our right calf. It was warm to the touch. Her palms alternate as she work upwards, left, right, left, right, until she gets past the thigh.

Then her hands trailed down and she would begin again.

Our limbs melt under her hands. She massages in small circles, easing the tension from the muscles, slowly making her way higher and higher, teasing us to succumb. Soon we feel as if we are floating on clouds...drifting in pleasure, the smell of balsam and rose intoxicating us into a mild stupor.

Her hands then work upwards, towards our back...our shoulderblades...our shoulders. Fingers ran across the shoulders towards our neck before running back down the spine.

Time is...nonexistant. Yet we know we only have an hour with her. Will we finish in time?

And soon enough, it was over.

Well, we do have Team William to thank for finding this gem of a massage parlour. The Royal Natural Spa. Just down the road from Take A Nap on Rama 4 Road.

After three days of walking, it was good to get off our feet and be pampered. Unfortunately, as we went there at 9pm there was only one masseuse for the Traditional Thai massage, so the Chief took that while we settled for the Aromatherapy Oil massage.

A warm foot bath consisting of lime, rose petals and lemongrass together with sea salt scrub, followed by the balsam oil massage, with hot ginger tea and pomelo to end it all. At the offer price of 750 baht then, it was very worth it. We were very much invigorated after the massage that Team PDA continued shopping at Patpong Night Market!

...And slept very very well that night. :)

Jason said...

Okay, real traditional Thai massage on next trip for me.

Janvier said...

William: Oh no. Plus we don't really practise the bathrobe culture here do we?

Legolas: Whose line is it anyway? :D

Nase: It was an awesome experience being pampered like that!

Henry Yeo: 1 hour. Spinecracker comes with the Traditional Thai, wot? :)

Jason: Your massage experience lagi shiok hor?

Henry Yeo said...

that's the key to a really good thai massage, the only time when they stretch your entire body
