thanx wowpow!
for that detailed recommendation.
I will check out candlethai spa!
I have been to wat po many years ago to see the reclining buddha.
I did see the open massage area but i thought it was just for tourists to get their shoulders kneaded for 10 minutes or so. Also it was REALLY crowded. They had everybody lined up real close. Not a very relaxing atmosphere.
Is this what you were speaking of or is there a different area?
I have been to marble house twice because it was recommended in my travel guide. There was about a year between the two visits.
I did ask for the blind man but they said they don't have one working there. Actually no man at all. Both times it were older women. Maybe I was there at the wrong time.
I got a traditional massage the first time and an oil massage the second time. Both were 'ok' but by no means great. Both times they finished early. I paid for 2 hours but it was over after 90 minutes. Maybe they counted the time i needed to shower as well
However I never went there again.
So thank you again for the recommendations.
