Asia Herb Association

When selecting a downtown neighborhood to call home, J had one major priority: to be located on a road with multiple routes to his office. My priority was to be on the same road as Asia Herb Association. Multiple people recommended the massage joint for the Traditional Thai treatments. Experience has shown that it is also clean, inviting, not a place of prostitution (its easy to make that mistake) and is the best bang for your Bhat.
Check out this magic: building on the left - our hotel. Building in the foreground - Asia Herb!
...private treatment rooms for singles or couples massages...
A two hour massage with a herb ball bath is 35 USD. "What is an herbal ball bath?" It is a delightful therapeutic treatment where a sweet Thai woman sponge bathes you with a hot herb compress immediately following a 90 minute massage. I can't decide which scenario best describes the feeling:
Like being a...
A) Royal bride, receiving the pre wedding bathing, perfuming, and primping by maidens
B) Impossibly overgrown baby enjoying your first sponge bath in decades
C) Deceased Egyptian at the very beginning stages of the mummification process
Here is an image of the herb ball...
...here is where they store the freshly packed herbs, in a fridge, just like ricotta!!!...
...and here are it's beneficial properties...
I will be sure to try out all of the treatment options before you come to visit, so I can suggest the best options. (Just being hospitable!)

  2. Mesmerized article written on this blog with other relevant information. It is straight to the point that how we can improve our skills as well as how we can be represented to a new stream of professionalism.
