September 5, 200818 yr Most cities in Asia have blind massage. I was lucky enough to stumble on Hua Hin's today near Market Village. Clean, powerful, friendly, and air conditioned. You're welcome
October 5, 200817 yr I saw Blind Massage near Golden Place Supermarket (opposite 56 soi) on Phetchkasem. But I didn't try it yet.
October 5, 200817 yr Thanks people! I'd wondered where it/they were located. I prefer the blind massage. You get a good massage, you make merit and there's no hanky-panky.
October 9, 200817 yr The massage is done by blind (sightless) men and women. Its one way they can earn a living and keep face. They don't have to beg.
October 9, 200817 yr These guys and ladies are very very good at their work and for my two baht worth they a paid way to little for the service they provide. Bt240 for an hour is low in my book; I found a few in ISAN for as low as Bt100 per hour, a nice tip made a bit of different in my case. Massage is hard work blind of not. I wish for better pay for them all.
October 9, 200817 yr The massage is done by blind (sightless) men and women. Its one way they can earn a living and keep face. They don't have to beg. Thanks for the reply, I had a feeling it was along those lines but I thought that it was to obvious an answer.
October 10, 200817 yr If you tip, give them coins then they know what they received. Unscrupulous types can easily cheat them with paper money.
November 6, 200817 yr all notes are marked for the blind - it it's a payment they do check it, if only a tip they put in the pocket and count later, at the end of their shift. in bangkok, off the thanon phuttamonthon2 there are 2 blind massage shops - 150B for 2h no aircon and 180/2h with air con. when on xmass holidays in hua hin I will check your recommendations, as for hua hin it's a very good price
November 8, 200817 yr Didn't realize the banknotes were marked. I was thinking of the scene in the movie "Ray" where Ray Charles asks for his payment in single dollar bills. In Pattaya the blind massage place is in Naklua just past the dolphin roundabout and down to the left. Some excellent practitioners there.
March 24, 200917 yr there is also rumors of one past immigration in Suan Phu, I have yet to get a fix on it, anyone?? Oz
March 24, 200917 yr I went to those blind on soi 82 - mediocre experience, instead of 2 hand they use only one, and no stretches, even if I asked for them.
