My wife's mother is standing here outside a massage parlor. Both she and Amy, my wife, love Thai massage. Thai massage involves working muscles and joints in ways that, to me, seem to strengthen circulation and tone you up.
I don't see one here, but at least in this part of Bangkok you'll frequently see a sign on the front of businesses like this saying "no sex." Most often, Thai masseuses are sweet, homely middle aged women, and I can't imagine anyone getting the wrong idea about what they do, especially when they first take hold of your shoulders and squeeze (ouch!). The word traditional on the massage sign is also a tipoff. I guess, though, some gentlemen need, shall we say, a clearer signal about what's going on.
