Giant squid for dinner!

Okay so the sexing day in chiang Mai was a lot better than the first. I decided to take some time and get a thai massage. So I searched out the best one I could find. Despite what your thinking I was not looking for happy ending massage but an actual real massage. So I happened upon a great Little place only a few blocks from the hotel. First of all I have never had a t hai massage before so I didn't know what to expect. The place was sort of modern and very clean with all sorts of aroma therapy scents wafting through the air. They washed my feet in a little bath and then led me into a small room where I was to change into a shirt and loose fitting Capri pants .... Laying face down on a small futon matress I waited in relaxed anticipation. Enter a small charming thai woman. Little did I know she was a massage ninja! I have been doing jujitsu for ten years now and this woman bent me and beat me down. At one point she basically had me in a leg lock with one foot on my butt cheek. Then all of a sudden there was a shift, my little Capri pants gave way and her foot slipped. I thought her big toe was going to be firmly lodged up my ass but at the last moment she dodged and I breathed a sigh of relief. We were both laughing because she was beating on me so hard that I kept groaning, something she founf endlessly amusing and was laughing at me the whole time. By the way this two hour massage of epic quality was only 400 bat .... That just about $16! so yes .... I did schedule another one wednesday morning.

Feeling relaxed I decided to wander up to the sunday night market and have a look despite my aversion to craft fairs. But there was a bright and shiny spot to all of the trinkets and bobbles. The food court ...... As I walked around I started to notice many of the regular items the carts have. But something caught my eye ...... Is that halibut? No, iasked the woman what it was and she pointed to a little sign. " it giant squid ....." whaaaaaat? Of course I got it. I'm not sure if I will ever have another piece of calimari that is about 12 inches across! I have a phot but I can't upload it from here. You'll just have to wait until i get back and take my word for it.

All in all not a bad day. Giant squid and a toe in the ass. The things vacation memories are made of!

  1. Thoroughly enjoying your blog! what i wouldn't give for a giant squid toe-in-the-ass combo! there is an amazing restaurant in chang mai--more expensive than the back alley street food (which i hope you have found) but well worth it. i will try to figure out the name and get back to you. It's on the opposite side of the river as the center of town. Disappointing that chiang mai is so touristy now.i guess even in 6 years a lot can happen. Our hotel was outside of the main town so didn't have to contend with throngs of tourists but loved chiang mai. some seriously good coconut milk ice cream...although the vendor is never in the same place so mostly we wandered around searching for him and enjoying some adventures and much food along the way. looking forward to your next post. pliska
