Michai took us out last night Thai style to downtown Bangkok. WE are so fortunate to have him, because he is testing out his potential touring business on us for the cost of his dinner (about $4.00.)
At the restaurant, he talked Corynn into Spicy shrimp soup moving her away from her traditional rice with soy sauce. She loved it!
He set us up with traditional Thai massage which is no gentle Swedish message with gentle touch and smooth oil. This massage consisted of my body having a yoga class without me doing the work…pressure points, twisting, pulling... I heard Corynn in the other room; saying, “lighter” and “softer,” but the masseuse did not speak English. Then I heard Corynn start demonstrating “on” the woman!
Afterward, we had to sit in the lobby and laugh; because we felt so good from the pain...It was all we could do.
Then Michai grabbed us a Tuk Tuk, which he warned us never to take, because the drivers usually scam you to take a tour of gem shops. He said, "it was OK if I we were with him." I freaked out anyway because they are 100’s of cars whizzing by and kept imagining the worst, so we jumped into a cab 5 minutes later. I am still glad we had the experience!
