Thai Massage

Haven't written anything for a few days so I'll try and write things in chronological order. Right now Michelle is in bed still asleep and I thought I'd slip out and write up the blog...we're checking out from the Little Creek "Resort" in Kanchanaburi at lunchtime - that makes it sound very grand but it's still backpacker prices - and going further south towards the beaches...

Before we left Chaing Mai we had a Thai massage - Michelle preferred it to the oil massage but I can't say I did...my body just isn't flexible enough to enjoy going in that many directions! The problem the poor guy doing my massage had was that I'm over 16 stone and he must have been about 10. So when he tried to push my body into some contrived position which was apparently good for me and it hurt, I just stopped him. Of course I was told to relax but how can you stop all your normal senses working?!

Anyway, I think it will be the first of many Thai massages for Michelle - she even wants me to go on a course! The picture above shows her with the rediculously large (yes, even for me) trousers that they make you put on...
