A traditional Thai massage should be a part of everyone's visit. Ask your hotel to recommend one; they are very common. The Wat Pho style of massage for two hours starts with the feet then works up the legs, then the arms. Once finished there, you roll over and the masseur works on your back, then neck. It feels good, but better still, it leaves you rejuvenated. Two-hour massages go from as little as B300 to more than B2000 in the swanky hotels. Both men and women masseurs are available, and tipping B100 is a fine idea. And for the really enthusiastic, you can study Thai massage at Wat Pho as well as several other private schools.
