Foot massage at Bangkok's International Airport

Reflexology, especially foot reflexlogy is one of the best form of pampering, esp after all the walking. For a traveler, the legs are often the most tired and overworked part of the body.

I had a leg cramp at Bangkok airport. Since we were eating at the fastfood area near to Changs’ we decided to have a quick foot massage. This place is not a 'spa', but you get a picture window overlooking the landing and take off strips of the planes!

We thought we had enough time for a quick 30 minute massage before running off. After all, we had slightly more than an hour. We had told them how hurried we were, but they still took their own sweet time to bring the water, soap and brushes to wash your feet before starting the massage, and walk slowly to get the towel to rub off the cream after that. I had to point to an aeroplane taking off and then to my watch before they get the message, and quickly finish up, charge us, and off we went! A 30 minute foot massage turned out taking almost 45 minutes.




It takes at least 30 minutes to walk to the gate and clear immigration from Chang’s. We had to run. We almost missed our plane, after entering through the wrong terminal. Luckily, the terminals are connected, and the immigration officer let us in.


Although we felt that the young girls there were not as skilled as those we met in Chinatown, and the price slightly more expensive than in town, it was still heavenly. We felt much lighter after the massage, and had a very good sleep on the plane. I am really tempted to take up one of the massage course offered in Thailand.
