Pattaya - Healthland Spa

I was telling V about the two traditional thai massages that I had when I was in Pattaya. One of the super budget no frills offer with dubious shower facilities while the other is this new joint:

Healthland Spa
.

Had the 450baht traditional thai massage. Massage auntie made me learn a new thai word - jebb. As in "ebb" but with J sound in front.

Jeb in thai means pain.

I don't really have to say that word. Or "jeb mak mak" which translate to "much pain". I just scream.

That was what I was doing for a quarter of the time, wringling in pain. Half the time was laughing at my plight. And the rest of the time I was actually feeling sabai - another thai word meaning "feeling good".

  2. It's got a branch in Pattaya! It's quite new and looks super clean and proper.

    I don't think I would have fallen asleep during my massage. Pass out maybe.
