Visit to Thailand and do not try Thai massage - almost as unforgivable as to visit Egypt and not to look at the pyramid of Cheops. True, what is the real Thai massage, a person uninitiated to understand sometimes be difficult.
Thais divide the massage to the "decent" and "indecent." The last, of course, lie erotic services, and traditional wellness practices he has nothing to do. With the "decent" is also not easy. We can say that it is - a collective term that includes literally everything from zamorochennyh spa programs mnogozvezdochnyh hotels to Chinese foot massage wands in private salons.
Contraindications to Thai massage pregnancy;
skin diseases (psoriasis, eczema, shingles);
cancer;
cardiovascular disease;
osteoporosis;
varicose veins (in exacerbation).
So you need to know the tourist who wants to join a traditional Thai massage. The first is during the meeting massaged the whole body from ears to toes, and the specialist not only uses his hands, and elbows, knees and other body parts. Second, Thai massage affects muscles, tendons, joints and energy channels. Third: it consists of, in fact, massage movements (kneading, stretching, and punching) and the study of the joints (a sort of passive fizzaryadka). Fourth: The essential oils in a traditional Thai massage does not apply.
Now forget about all the above, because the "right" Thai massage in Thailand are rare. Than spend time looking for him, better once a ride on an elephant, or visit the shopping center, where they sell rubies.
Like clockwork The most common version of Thai massage in its historic homeland - oil-massage (oil). We can say that this - pop version of the traditional, so to speak, light version. Salons, where she offered, in Thailand occur at every step in the center - more expensive, on the edge - it is cheaper. The average price of one session in dollar terms - 6-7 dollars, duration - one hour. For optimal effect must attend 5-7 sessions.
Before entering the street massage made take off one's shoes - shoes no one steals. Inside the cool - air-conditioned. Many couches, they are separated by curtains, in the dressing room - something like a waiting room. Before you surrender into the hands of the masseur, is necessary to specify the price. As a rule, always take off for 15-20 percent of the amount specified in the price. By the way, who exactly will be doing massage - male or female - chooses the client.
Once both parties have agreed to - you can go to the massage couch and undress. Here at will: You can take everything, but you can stay in a swimsuit. Do not expect the therapist will not use your nudity and erotic massage will not do instead of the usual. And for a swimsuit, do not worry, oil stains on it will remain - local craftsmen very careful.
The essence of Thai oil-massage The client lies on her stomach and completely relaxed. Masseur lubricates his skin with oil and begins to rub warm up the muscles, and then with the power pushes prominaet-body on certain points (apparently notorious open energy channels), and finally wiped dry skin and provides some simple manipulations to stretch (foot to one buttock, to another). Worked out at a time: legs (including feet), back and arms. Then "Madame turns." Again, his legs, then chest and abdomen.
As the curtain fell - acupressure face and ears. And the balancing act begins. Client, as rag parsley, flexion and extension in all directions. And everything is so polished massage movements, so he feels of bounds, that there is virtually no discomfort.
After graduating from massage body becomes light, flexible, and obedient. On the string, of course, the move did not sit down, but to climb on the elephant will be more convenient.
