sonofsam2 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 So what is the crack. I was once some time back, by some water falls I think in Chang Mai and there were a few people offering massage so I decided on having my very first foot massage. I like the feeling of soft squeezing of the foot etc. Well what took place by whom I believe was a very inexperienced young lad amounted to torture. It was just rubbing of the bone for a long time and poking and prodding which was very painful and not very comfortable, so much in fact I had to ask him to stop. He looked a bit upset and I managed to get a shoulder which was also painful but I carried that through. Now I have read so many times about a wonderful foot massage and we all know it got a man thrown out of a window in a classic movie, so what I am missing out on? Did I just get a bit of a dud and should I go back for a revisit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazaam1971 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 It sounds like you DONT want foot reflexology, just relaxing. Massage therapists love this! It's easier for them, just ask for "no strong / only relax, sabai" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lev123 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 A foot massage is really a misnomer, as they just just massage your feet. They do you legs and even end with a bit at the shoulders. I think the best foot massage on earth is at Raintree on Soi 11 (almost directly across from Au Bon Pain) 350 baht...probably 100 baht more than the cheap places and well worth every baht. try it out.

sonofsam2 Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 Well I think I will have to revisit and in case I am missing out on luxury due to one bad experience. Will ask for the softly softly approach and will try your recommendation Lev123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koko Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I love Massage and Thailand has a very rich Traditional Massage Culture. However, quality varies and The Traditional Shops and Spa's generally have better trained Therapist. Age is also not a sure fire way to gauge experience. Trial and Error continues to be the only way to find what you like. Don't be shy about asking for soft or saying Bow bow. Not sure how it is spelled in Thai. Also, Cha Cha to go slow. Good luck, keep the faith, you will find what you seek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on Raintree. I use the one on soi 23. They have branches around town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kopite Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I usually get a 2 hour massage. 1 hour foot and 1 hour shoulder, head and hands. But even with just a foot massage they usually finish up with a bit of neck, arms and shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
