Getting a Powerful Massage at the Women Massage Centre by Ex-Prisoners , Chiang Mia, Thailand
Thai Massage is famous! When our friend from Thailand learned about our visit to Thailand, he highly recommended us to try the Thai Massage while visiting the country.
I did and I loved it! Each time I got a massage in Thailand, it was a good experience. However, there was one that stood out for me - a Thai massage I received from the Women's Massage Centre by Ex-Prisoners in Chiang Mia.
I was a littel nervous making the massage appointment. What happened if that person for wahtever reason lost her temper and took it out on me while she was massaging me? Would she still be mad at the world? Would she hurt me? What kind of crimes did she commit? Would she be a violent person? All these questions and doubts filled my mind before booking a massage appointment for myself. However, understanding that everyone made mistakes in his/ her life, I stronly believed that we need to give ex-prisoners opportunites to rebuild their lives and earn a living in their community. I was determined to support these women and would do it through my actions.
I showed up for my appointent at 7 p.m. on the last night of our stay in Thailand. I was received politely and professionally by the centre's receptionst. My masseur greeted me and asked me to sit in front of a bowl of water where she proceeded to wash my feet. After the feet washing, she ushered me into a room. As soon as I saw that it was an open space with four massage tables lining neatly side by side and another one at the end of a niche, I felt much better.
"Good, we both are in one big open room. Everybody can see what others are doing. I would be safe." I thought to myself. I felt guilty with this negative thought but I had never had any contact with any ex convicts and I didn't know what to expect. But I started to loosen up and became more relaxed.
My masseur was a short woman but with a strong build. She proceeded to massage me and her massage moves were strong and powerful. She kneaded me here and there on my body from top to bottom. Whichever part my body felt tight, I asked her to massage me there. My muscles had a really good workout. After the initial warm up, she climbed on the table and straddled me on my back. She then locked my two arms into hers and pull my arms back as far as I could bear it. She did the same with my legs and I could hear my bones making cracking noises! Again I thought of the western movie I saw in Canada with the comedian depicting the pain of going through a Thai massage, I couldn't help breaking out laughing. I was experiencing similar type of powerful massage and a bit of pain too!
