i sound like a snob, but after being in thailand twice and experiencing the glory of thai massage, at about 5 bucks for an hour, i couldn't bear to pay more than that with the possibility of being disappointed. alas, in our great country, no massage is cheap. \n\nfor a birthday treat to the wife, i booked us a thai royal hot stone foot massage. O...M...G.... it was glorious. 90 bucks for the both of us, for an hour. i never hear of this place, so i was surprised that they were so busy with clients. we were greeted upon entering by a superbly friendly lady and given the basic run-down of what to expect. i thought \"come on...we've had the real deal. you can't possibly expect us not to know what to expect\". but this is a thai foot massage with flair. \n\nwe didn't have to change, but had i known how extensive even their foot massages were going to be, i would have worn far less cumbersome clothing. \n\nin the massage area, we were shown to reclining lounges an dangled our legs off the end. it starts with a warm water foot bath, followed by a coma inducing rub down of the feet and calves. i started snoring. was woken up by the startling feel of very hot stones being rubbed on my feet and calves. although they were hot, it felt so great!\n\nthey add in a 5 minute face and scalp massage (my eyes roll to the back of my head for these), followed by a nearly full on body massage and stretch. and this is just the hour long foot massage. the 90 minute or even full Thai massage must be wicked comprehensive!\n\ni arose drooling around the mouth, disoriented, with a s**t eating grin on my face. the wife was equally gelatinous. if sheriff joe was around, we might have gotten arrested for \"relaxing too much in public\". \n\ni can't wait for the next one!
