Thai Massage

I found a few massage parlours that gives swedish massages. It's a little more expensive than a Thai Massage( one hour is $6.10 versus $4.40), but with the Thai massage they twist you all over the place, and it has been troublesome for my knee. Last evening after my hot and sweaty day at the market I got one. So fabulous. My theory on why all the Thais look so young is that they treat their bodies right and they get massages all the time because they are so cheap. Unfortunately that doesn't pan out exactly because the massages are not cheap for the Thais. Things are so cheap compared to the US because they have such a little profit margin, and therefore don't make much money at all.

I found a gym!! I have been slacking on my fitness routine and am so excited to go for a run. I have been able to run a few times when I've been out of Bangkok, but it is not only too hot to run here- there is no room at all. Auto and pedestrian traffic EVERYWHERE. Walking is often a problem. So I am off to the gym for a nice work out....
