Luxury Travel in Thailand – A Couples’ Massage

There comes a time in every couple’s relationship when they discuss sexual fantasies. It’s an awkward conversation at the best of times, so I’m not about to broadcast it on here so worry not dear reader (and my poor mother) this is not what this blog post is about. However, I’d be lying if I said that the words “sexual fantasy” didn’t cross my mind when I heard my boyfriend’s most recent suggestion for a relaxing afternoon just the two of us as part of a little luxury travel in Thailand.

“A four hand massage?” I asked, my eyes widening and my mind conjuring up all sorts of explicit images.

“Yeah, two masseurs and me,” he said smiling showing me the website for a spa located just down the road from our villa here on Phuket in Thailand. “You could have one too or you could have something else? They’ve got hot oil, aromatherapy, Swedish…”

As he listed the spa’s full itinerary of offers I reassured myself that my boyfriend wasn’t about to run into the Thai sunset with two gorgeous girls or why else would he be inviting me along? Or on second thoughts is he really that stupid?

Thailand is our happy place. A country we can return to easily and quickly. We know what to expect – sunshine, good food, smiling people and ridiculously affordable massages – and it’s why one year after starting out on our travelling adventures, we returned. Within days of arriving back we’d settle into a familiar routine; working until the early afternoon, a lazy lunch at our favourite Thai restaurant, going for a swim or walk along the beach before sunset and maybe a couple of beers in Thailand’s warm night air or an evening visit to our favourite massage place.

Our favourite massage place offers one hour Thai massage for $10.00, has a yapping poodle with better groomed nails than me and is staffed with wonderfully friendly women who now know us by name. We lie on mattresses on the floor in one of their makeshift treatment rooms and listen to panpipe music over the churn of the air conditioning while being stretched until we click. Now this is my kind of massage; it’s cheap and it’s cheerful, and it’s actually very, very good.

So why wasn’t that good enough for my boyfriend on this occasion?

“Well, we always go there. This would be something special,” he explained. “I don’t mind spending a bit of extra money for a bit of luxury,”

And that, in a nutshell, is our approach to travel; we are not afraid to spend money if it gets us something special.

Adopting the “if you can’t beat them, join them” mentality I told my boyfriend I too would like a four hand massage. I hoped they had enough staff.

They did, of course, and upon arrival we were welcomed into a small reception area by an impeccably attired Thai woman who guided us through to a sheltered courtyard where two small elephant fountains spurted water from their trunks into a small pond. I could smell lemongrass in the air as our host passed us some pandan juice to drink with an ice cold refreshing towel. Already this was proving to be a different experience. Not once did I look for a yapping dog or did I miss the panpipes.

We were shown to a treatment room that was a three wall sala-style room with the open wall overlooking a lake – an actual lake! – we were going to have a massage with a stunning view. There were two massage beds inside and a small shower room in one corner. We were invited to shower and undress at our leisure and we did, taking a little extra time to laugh at the disposable underwear we were given.

And then our massages began…

Within the first few minutes all worries of this being one of my boyfriend’s unspoken sexual fantasies abandoned me and I succumbed to the delight of having the best massage of my life. You really haven’t had a “full body massage” until you’ve had two masseurs at work on you. From working together to apply extra pressure to rolling their forearms over my back in sync so I felt as though I was under a waterfall of soft soothing motions, it was an experience like no other in terms of releasing stress and relaxing my mind. The massage ended with a simultaneous head and foot massage; something so simple yet so effective.

My boyfriend’s smile afterwards as we relaxed in another area of the spa said it all. It wasn’t at all sexual; just complete indulgence and luxury he’d been after and we’d both been lucky enough to enjoy just that.
