Thai Traditional Massage
The basic principle of Thai massage involves the concept of 10 invisible energy lines flowing through the body, known as "Sip Saen". By massaging these points, it is believed that diseases are cured and pain erradicated.
The ultimate goal of traditional Thai massage is for both the giver and the receiver to reach a state of enlightenment. On a mundane level, this massage exists to heal a person not only physically and emotionally but also spiritually.
The typical Thai massage client is the one who has tried it before and had a positive experience. Its goal is to enhance not only one’s physical and emotional state but also to allow one to grow spiritually.
To learn more on Wat Pho click here. Wat Pho provides Tthai traditional massage and also instruction on the Thai traditional massage techniques.
The Traditional massage centers are too numerous to list, just check with your hotel if the have in-house service, as most hotels do have them. In fact, if you walk along Sukhumvit Road, you are bound to find many places that provide traditional massage.
Bangkok Soi Cowboy
Soi Cowboy is located close to the intersection of Sukhumvit Road and Asoke Road. It is just about 100 meter from the intersection and connects Asoke Road with Soi 23 Sukhumvit, running parallel to Sukhumvit Road. Left far corner of the intersection if you are coming from the direction of Nana, Landmark, Ambassador.
It is a about 300 meter long street, with a total of about 40 small and bigger bars, located on both sides. Famous bars include Long Gun, Tilac, both close to Asoke Road.
On the other side, close to Soi 23, we find Baccara, Midnite bar, Our Place, (and Dollhouse) In between them, a vast array of smaller bars.

Soi Cowboy, which has for a long time been regarded as a more sedate entertainment venue, has recently seen a more active nightlife scene. Different from Nana Plaza, quite a few bars offer topless dancing, nude dancing and shows. Overall, Soi Cowboy has upgraded itself over the last few years, and the neon lighting outside the bars is really unparalleled in other nightlife centers around Bangkok.
Traditionally, Soi Cowboy was less expensive than other entertainment areas. However, over the last few years, prices have gone up, and beers and liquor drinks now go for between 120 and 150 baht. Lady drinks and soft drinks (even water) are priced above 100 baht, sometimes quite a bit.

Calypso Cabaret Show
17 years ago by now , 1987 , we decided to create a show , which should be different - how that ? ! In the show bussiness many curtains were red , many legs were long and feathers on top of all. And yet , there was that vision and that urge to try - and since we do. With red curtains and long legs and feathers , too and with that one shining detail , which is by now CALYPSO's trademark.
The human being's natural beauty - live on stage.
We constantly strip down decorations and costumes to the bare necessities. We minimize choreographic ambitions and create choreographies , which highlight the specific talents and abilities of our actors and actresses. We do not cater to any markets or fashions or trends.
The overload and without any doubt the overkill of today's frenzies of the media world are verifying our concept of reduction.
Daily training of physical stamina , daily rehearsal of the current show and new productions , try to regain daily our motivation not to copy , not to reproduce the traded cliches and stereotypes.
It ' s said : If you 've seen one , you 've seen them all. Well if you travel to Thailand and stay in Bangkok , plan to see our show. It will give you an unseen and unheard-of experience.
The revival of the art of entertainment!
Beautifully Thai! Internationally renowned! Independently creative!

Nana Plaza - Soi Nana
Three floors of nightlife activity around a central atrium. Nana Plaza has been somewhat affected by a 2003 nightlife 'crackdown', a few years back. Bars used to have a lot of naked dancing. One of the attractions of Nana Plaza was that many bars had shows on offer, sometimes of the more degrading variety. Nudity was a no-no for many years (possibly also the bars colluded to keep things clean), but in 2009 we noticed that some bars are showing again.
The first floor has a lot of busy and exciting bars, including Rainbow 2, Playskool, Rainbow 1. On the left in the middle you will find Pretty Girls bar. The Rainbow bars at ground level are invariably busy.
On the second floor, G-Spot, a large bar is in the right far corner. Next to G-spot is one of the most crowded bars on the Plaza, Rainbow 4. In the left far corner is Casanova, a well known ladyboy (katoey) bar. On the left side, you will find the rather flashy (by Nana standards) newly decorated Spankys, and Angel Witch, long famous for its choreographed shows.
The third floor offers less bars. On the left the large Carousel bar, which has shows on offer. On the right and the far right corner you have Carnival and Cascade bars respectively, both featuring mainly (or only) ladyboys.
Nana Plaza is more expensive than Patpong (less and less relevant, though known by name) and used to be more expensive than Soi Cowboy, but not anymore. In most larger bars, beer is priced at 120-150 baht, as are most liquor drinks. Soft drinks and lady drinks are now also above the 100 baht barrier, sometimes much higher.
Before I forget, the central atrium, as well as the entrance to the Plaza, feature a number of beer bars, that can be used to enjoy the scenery and do some 'people-watching', if you prefer not to go inside the go-go bars.

Pattaya Girls – Meet Thailand’s Beautiful Girls
Pattaya is a magical place, truly one of a kind. Sometimes it seems like Pattaya exists in a parallel universe, where none of the rules of the outside world apply. It’s a city of lust, love and sometimes despair. Whatever you are looking for, you will find it here. Every year thousands of men travel here in search of the beautiful Pattaya girls. Some look for a wife, others for a girlfriend, while some are just looking for hot nights of sex.
I have travelled and worked all over the world, Asia, Europe, South America and the US and I believe that there is nowhere in the world, where there are so many attractive women in one place as Pattaya.
Pattaya is a place of opportunity, of fresh starts in life. You never know what may happen when you leave your room here. Go outside smile at a girl, make small talk, and take it from there. It may come to nothing or it may end up in nights with the best sex you ever had. You may have met your future wife, but you don’t know it yet. Whatever you are looking for in Pattaya, there is a good chance you will find it.
Thai girls flock to Pattaya in search of love, money and excitement. The city and it’s neon light, open bars and clubs lures both foreign men and Thai women alike looking for a fresh start in this tropical paradise. Most of the girls that come to Pattaya are sincere in wanting to find a foreign boyfriend or husband. Others just like to play the game of love and lust for as long as possible. Just like the men who go to Pattaya have different reasons for doing so, so is it with the Thai girls who come here.
I’ve met many happy foreigner-Thai couples who met in Pattaya and I’ve met many couples where it didn’t work out. I’ve seen older men become young again, filled with life and desire for living life again. Pattaya girls have that quality, to make you feel young again, strong, wanted.
Nice Thai Girls Versus Thai Bar Girls
If you search the internet for stories of foreign men falling in love with Thai girls you’re bound to find hundreds of posts articles and stories that have been written over the years. The funny thing is many of the stories you’ll find end badly. The reason for this is pretty apparent.
Typically you’ll see in the story that the writer has been warned about Thai bar girls and yet they continue on thinking “it will never happen to me”. Every month there are stories to be found about Americans, Australians and Europeans either being bankrupted or even committing suicide in Pattaya and Patong over Thai bar girls. We may never know the entire truth about these tragedies, but they carry a similar theme.
What is it that makes men ignore the fact that many relationships with Thai bar girls end so badly? Why do they think that they are different and that their Thai girlfriend will work out as a romance or marriage, even though she’s come from the type of life lived in the bars?
Would these men behave the same way, with the same expectations in their home countries? Would they shack up with a prostitute and expect her to be loving and faithful? I don’t really think so, and it makes me scratch my head to think they have these expectations simply because they are in Thailand.
Maybe they only do this in Thailand because they can’t afford it in their home countries. Or maybe they somehow lose their minds in the craziness that is Thailand. Perhaps it’s their own way of coping with culture shock. Whatever the case, if you’re in a relationship with a Thai girl take a look at this list of questions you should be asking yourself:
1. Does your wife or girlfriend hide her phone calls? Does she get calls at all hours of the night? Doesn’t that make you suspicious? It should.
2. Is your girlfriend or wife always asking for money to send home? Is it the same amount each month? Not definitive, but could indicate a boyfriend or husband back in the home village that she is supporting.
3. If your Thai girl has piercings besides her ears or tattoos it a big warning sign of a bar girl or former bar girl. Good Thai girls don’t do this. This is changing somewhat for the younger generation however so may not be conclusive if your wife or girlfriend is under 25.
4. The biggest indicator of all. Are her friends involved in prostitution? As with any other profession or lifestyle, like types tend to be drawn together because of similar experiences.
The best thing to do is just practice common sense. I know it’s easy to lose your bearings when seeing all the beautiful available girls in Thailand, but try to maintain a sense of normalcy. You may not be used to so much attention from beautiful girls, but get used to it, it’s just like that in Thailand for a foreigner.
Try to think with your higher brain, not the one between your legs. While your new life in Thailand may seem surreal at times try to maintain a sense of reality amongst the insanity. Keep your usual filters about what is right and wrong in place. Too many men seem to deal with the newness of Thailand by setting up a new category in their brain called “This is Thailand”. Anything new or strange gets put through this filter and passes simply because “This is Thailand”" and not the same as your homeland. Some things really are the same dude.
The same evasive behavior from your girlfriend that would set off alarms in your home country should be setting off alarms here in Thailand. Just because all else is different around you doesn’t mean that it’s normal for your new girlfriend to hide things from you or fly off into abusive rages at no provocation.
Listen to your inner voice and if it’s telling you something is wrong then get away. Things may be different in Thailand, but girls are girls everywhere and Thai girls are not that much different from the girls at home. Girls at home lie and cheat and guess what, so do Thai girls. It’s still not the norm, but it is common, especially for the girls that tend to be attracted to foreigners in the first place. Take your time and find a nice Thai girl and you’ll be much happier in the long run.

How to Foot Massage
The feet are often neglected, what better way to give the feeling of rejuvination throughout the entire body then to give foot massage. The techniques on how giving a foot masage listed here do not claim to have any documented medical benefits. However, in most cases, it will more than likely have the recipient walking away feeling better than they did prior to starting. When learning how to give foot massage, it is ok to make it your own. Although there might be some moves that you must be careful with to avoid injury, especially with pregnancy foot massage , it is really up to you on how to give foot massage.
I have provided a couple of possible routines how to foot massage below. They are designed around different concepts for someone with or without socks on. You may adapt your own style or method as you progress. Remember that there is no guaranteed massage stroke or move that everyone will love. Be aware of the eyes and facial reactions of the person you are giving a foot massage to so that you know if they are enjoying that specific technique. Giving a foot massage :
1. Fill a large tub with warm water; fill with Epsom salts and eucalyptus oil.
2. After soaking, dry off feet.
3. Do basic stretches with the foot; pushing the top of the foot away ( dorsiflexion) from you and pulling the top toward you ( plantarflexion ). If you need any help with definitions, you may review the foot glossary
5. Cup the foot with your hands and squeeze with the appropriate amount of pressure. You may move up and down as you are holding the foot.
6. Wrap your hand around the top of the foot, and then apply pressure with your fist to the underside of the foot. You can apply pressure by pushing in and out or in a circular motion.
7. Using your thumb and a moderate amount of pressure, start at the top of the foot on each side. Now glide toward the botom along the sides of the foot. There are tendons that run along each side of the foot, these can be good to stretch.
8. Wrapping your hands around the foot from the front, squeeze firmly and pull upward alternating hands as you pull upward.
9. Rotate each toe starting the largest working to the smallest.
10. Finish giving a foot massage with a few sweeping strokes before finishing and gently resting your hands on the feet.

4. Warm up the foot by rubbing it all over and appling lotion or oil in a sweeping motion. Include the top, heel and arch. Gliding strokes work best. It is important to rub the entire foot first to warm it up. If you start to apply deep pressure to the foot before warming it up, there is a greater risk of causing injury.
5. Cup the foot with your hands and squeeze with the appropriate amount of pressure. You may move up and down as you are holding the foot.
6. Wrap your hand around the top of the foot, and then apply pressure with your fist to the underside of the foot. You can apply pressure by pushing in and out or in a circular motion.
