Thai MASSAGE?

Before coming to Thailand, we had both heard stories and had our suspicions (but had no first hand knowledge) of Thai massage- pun unknowingly apt.  In the interest of science, we diligently researched multiple locations and modalities together.  After weeks of investigation at great personal sacrifice, we finally had a breakthrough on our last night in Bangkok.  Kristina had had enough massage and stayed home while Todd felt obligated to continue his investigation and tried his first "oil massage" at one of the twenty massage parlors within 1km of our apartment.  His sheepish look when he returned an hour and a half later indicated that this experience was different for one reason or another.  We are not certain if it was the venue, the "oil massage", or the fact that Todd was alone, but it was beyond evident that this massage was FULL body by default.  The inadvertent brushes against Todd's good-bits ultimately proved too frequent and too deliberate and caused Todd to request no further massage of that particular area and obliged Todd to explain his love for Kristina.  In the end, there was oil everywhere and a slightly confused masseuse who gave Todd a discounted price.
