day 3 part 2!

myself, kelly, alana, and sylvia all decide to get thai massages and went to one down the street. i’ve never gotten a massage before because they’re usually about $60 for an hour in the US but we only paid about 200 baht which is $6.50. so freaking cheap I don’t even understand. I really wasn’t sure what to expect. I thought there was going to be lotion and oils involved but, bitch I thought wrong. when we entered they had us wash our feet and change into some pj looking clothes and slippers. supa comfy. they sent us up stairs to lay on some mattresses in a closed room that looked liked what people would lay on when they had malaria or cholera in the early 1900s but cleaner lol. the guy first started out by massaging my back and shoulders and oh my god i didn’t know I had that many knots. he literally beat the crap out of my entire body with his hands and feet. I didn’t even know my knock and back could crack that many times. I felt so free and relaxed and so loose. I was looking around at what the other masseuses were doing and I noticed that mine was doing a lot more with my body than the others. i think he could sense that I was a lot more flexible with my body because he just flung my body around like a rag doll and no one else’s was like that. but hey i didn’t mind at all. it was like a yoga session, but I wasn’t the one moving my body. it was amazing. he literally flipped my onto his stomach so that my back was on his tummy and wheeled up so that it would stretch my back. absolutely my favorite part, either that or when he lotus positioned my back likely multiple times. he could definitely know my body limits and what I needed/liked most. this is honestly something I need in a life partner, literally just dick me down and thai massage my body. it was a lot more intimate than I thought I was going to be, but I had trusted him with what he was doing and that made it easier and more comfotable. it’s like he knew my own body better than me. afterwards I felt like a new person. like molly, but without the one week depression. i wanted to spread all my love and good energy and tell people to go get thai massages. which is exactly what we did when we got back to the pool. kelly and I were taking, and we were just like, this is definitely something to do with a partner. it’s so soul and body bonding. plus you get so comfortable with each other and you get on a whole different level of affection. looks like i’ll be watching massage videos when I go home. after swimming was when I realized that I had a pretty bad sunburn in the shape of my sportsbra and some sort of bag literally eat my ass last night. and also gave me a love bite on my neck. i’ve started using bug spray before sleeping now too. after the pool, lauren suggested going to a night market that wasn’t local. so I of course I was down. when do I say no to anything honestly. i’m down to try anything and everything at least once. I am a firm believe in “don’t knock it until you try it” and “there’s a first for everything”. we grabbed a taxi that only cost us 80 baht. the night market was huge and filled with food and clothing. I believe lauren, joseph, and some others who I don’t remember ended up going to the wrong market. but me, alana, sylvia, and kelly has a really good time. I bought a blue boho midi dress and a yellow baby doll tank top all for less than $10 total. i also bought some fried cheese balls covered in teriyaki, mayonnaise, and seaweed and it was very delicious. the combo of sweet and savory was perfect. we ended up leaving around 10 or so because a group of about 15 of us wanted to plan a trip to chiang mai to go see the elephant sanctuaries but those punks did it with out us. we ordered another taxi back and the dude didnt know how to get back to our hotel and didn’t speak any english. we had to google map him back to our hotel. we became very professional at directional languages. I think I can definitely say i’m becoming the lewis and clark of thai. or maybe sacajawea. but dear god we were feeling out the whole time. he almost hit a dog!!
