We�re in Thailand; why not get an infamous Thai massage?! It�s harmless and would be fun to pamper ourselves. Plus, it�s only $3 USD for one hour. Gosh it will feel good to just lie down and relax a bit. Good quality R&R. WRONG!

I don�t even know where to begin with how bizarre a Thai massage is. For starters, it hurts�and not just a little bit�I�m talkin� it hurts a lot. Seriously, during the massage I was embarrassed by my facial expressions of pure pain (the veins in my neck were able to explode) that I covered up my face with a blanket and gave myself pep talks to help calm the nerves.
�Pain is weakness leaving the body.�
�Becky, you wanted to do this. Suck it up and take it.�
�No pain no gain.�

Hummm. How to describe the hour of Thai massage? Well you know you know all those moves you used to beat up your younger siblings with like elbow to the thigh, tying their arms behind their back, or the karate chop?! Well all those moves are alive and kickin� in Thai massage. Whew. I�m cringing just thinking about it. Guys, it really hurt!

It was such a weird experience for all of us that once the massage was over, we changed as quickly as possible and didn�t say a word. We wanted to forget it ever happened ASAP. We checked it off the life�s list, and we don�t plan on doing a re-run.
