Sawadika !

So the other day while preparing hard for my coming finals *caugh*, i was taking a walk around Queensbay Mall with Mr. Ho (in attempts to find me a nice, semi formal top) when we came across a makeshift Thai massage place. Normally i'd just go by without stopping cause massages are way too expensive, but i came to an abrupt halt when i noticed their poster saying : 1 hour Thai body massage RM30.

What?!? Sure or not...

Asked the guy at the counter and sure enough it was only thirty bucks, woo hoo! However, couldn't go just then but vowed to come back soon.

Last night, after mentioning it to Auntie Sarah, we three decided to give it a shot. And so, 3 Thai Body Massage virgins ventured to the area which is located on the 3rd floor, take the escalators nearest to TGIF and you'll see it. Seriously, i didn't quite know what to expect clothing-wise as its in the middle of all the shops and for only RM30. Dah la had the embarrassing experience with the previous exposed-cheeks massage. However, i was right that they didn't have any frills or special garb to wear (eg. paper thong; as related to me by Jess). More Air Asia style than MAS.











Anyways, we told the Thai's, with much difficulty because their English and BM is very limited, that we 3 all wanted body massages and after some confusion we were lead to the hanging batikish print cloth 'walls', and inside were three flat mattresses and pillows.

We dumbo's hesitated and then the Thai's say 'Lai, lai...' and gesture for us to lie down. Most of the conversation from then on consisted of single word orders and much hand gesturing and laughing; them at us and us at ourselves. Fully clothed, they began with our feet. For the first 10minutes we sporadically burst into laughter, out of ticklishness or funny comments made.

Auntie Sarah got the chatty-est masseur, super cute and friendly 56year old, but we totally couldn't get what she was trying to say.











Kevin got a pleasant but quiet lady who went about her work without saying much, but smiling often at Kevin's contorted face as he tried to tahan from laughing.












As for me, i got a 50 year old Thai....











dude. Yeah....Ho-hum...So anyway- moving on.

After the initial bliss and warm up, the mild torture began. I only managed to capture some using Kevin's handphone but trust me when i say we were taken by surprise at all the different twists and turns that our body was capable of. The most gila for me was when Mr. Chulalongkorn pulled me under my armpits from behind till i made a bridge (upside down U) with his knees supporting my back. He pulled till i yelped, not so much in pain but, surprise.

Other moves:














































The funniest and 'scariest' part was when they were 'kneading our buns', i muttered to Kevin, "Oh my God...I hope i don't fart!" I think its cause all the pushing and pressing kinda, pushes the gas closer to the surface? Haha, no idea! But i wasn't alone as Mr. Ho shared the same sentiment moments later when it was his buns getting the same treatment.





(Most male action i'll be getting all year...From a 50year old. Great.)





After all the kraks and kruks, we wound down with a relaxing neck and head massage. We three left the area very much loosened up and feeling kinda sore-ish in a nice way cause they really massaged deep into the muscles.











I definitely recommend all reading this who are in Penang, go check it out - well worth the RM30. They'll only be there until the 15th of November. After that their moving to BJ and then some place called Peta...(?) We couldn't quite make out if they were meaning Pisa, Tapak Pesta or maybe there's a place in Penang called Peta that i just dont know about.

So go, treat yourself to a body bending experience.
