I was having yet another five-star-on-a-budget Bangkok lunch, this one in a hospital cafe, of all places, when I heard something that made my jaw drop so far that it nearly landed on my curry chicken and rice. The two French friends of the Belgian Etihad Airways flight attendant from the night before, were telling me about a special Thai massage — a naked Thai massage! Now, I was willing to try everything twice, and I sometimes welcomed extremely awkward situations because they provided excellent storytelling fodder for perking up stalled conversations. You got to choose: short or tall, muscular or lean, top or bottom. Once you took your pick, the two of you got undressed and hit the shower.
I guess curiosity killed the cat. When in Rome …or Pattaya, do as the err…. All these activities vary from show to show of course. Sorry no pictures of the show itself! The viewing arrangements had padded bench seating on all three sides of the stage. They were not individual seats with armrests like in movie theaters.
Before, reading this post I want to make a note. I wrote this about 5 years ago, and my thoughts on seeing a ping pong show have changed quite a lot. At the time I went, it was in my head no different than seeing a stripper in Vegas just something you do as a tourist. This is about my first time there, but I want to mention, when I went back I stayed in a very different area and had a relaxing and peaceful time of no partying because Bangkok is so much more. I was with two other American girls.
Bangkok, Thailand -Sex Show. We were hanging out on Khoa San Road in Bangkok, Thailand when a dirty tuk-tuk taxi driver approached us about attending a ping-pong show. We jumped into his tuk-tuk, a three-wheeled motorbike with a covered bench seat on the back, and headed to a shady area of Bangkok. He took us to the front door of a building and muttered something in Thai to the host coming out of the place to meet us when we arrived.
