July 5, 20179 yr Popular Post Well I made it. Flew Thai airways and wasn't a very good flight (40 minutes late to start with), I was seated next to a youngster that was very disruptive and after one hour of his antics his father decided it best if he swapped seats with him (I was hoping there was an ejection seat somewhere that could have been put to use). After that the flight wasn't too bad until an hour out of Bangkok when the antics started afresh. Immigration was a snap, took no more than 20 minutes and the bags were coming out when I got to the conveyor. Decided to get a sim at the airport and once sorted went to the taxi rank down stairs, note, if you use the taxis downstairs when you get the ticket from the machine grab a couple of them just in case. My taxi wasn't the best at all, firstly he had to get under the bonnet (hood for some of you) and connect a wire. He had to keep the revs up all the way in or it would have cut out on him. Then the rains came down with a vengence, it litteraly bucketed down on the way in to the hotel. Unfortunately for me the taxi crapped itself between 500 metres and 1 kilometre from the hotel and I ended up walking the rest of the way in the rain. Booked into the hotel okay and so far I quite like the Raya, yes the mattress is a bit firm but that's okay for me. I wasn't really in the mood last night to do much so just wandered down the road for a few beers and a meal, then touch of lite shopping for supplies and back to the hotel for some rest. So what is on for today, am booked into La Nature for some waxing then off to MBK for some more shopping and browsing. This afternoon I am reserving a time to get to Arena for a massage and some extras, really looking forward to getting my hands (and lips, tongue etc) on a smooth hot Thai body and certain body parts. Will post part two later.
July 5, 20179 yr then off to MBK for some more shopping and browsing. hope you stay all your time in Raya , otherwise if you start your vacation with shopping you will be carrying all that stuff with whole time
July 5, 20179 yr So what is on for today, am booked into La Nature for some waxing ... Now that is a new one for me? I know about waxing but I only thought it was in that Comedy movie...
July 6, 20179 yr WOW you must like to endure pain!! Done by some sadistic Thai Man??? ;-) No pain, no gain. You don't need a sadist, you can do the waxing yourself.
July 6, 20179 yr Author WOW you must like to endure pain!! Done by some sadistic Thai Man??? ;-) Believe it or not the worst part is the base of the neck, hurt worse there than down stairs.
July 6, 20179 yr by waxing gain actually what? just curious Waxing removes the hairs from their lowest inside the follicle. Therefore it is much longer lasting than shaving. Also repeated waxing and plucking out slows its growth.
July 6, 20179 yr Big gain if all is smooth and soft! And it can last this way for one to two weeks. The only disadvantage is that one has to wait a while until the regrown hair is long enough to be plucked out again.
July 6, 20179 yr Believe it or not the worst part is the base of the neck, hurt worse there than down stairs. Therefore it is much longer lasting than shaving. Also repeated waxing and plucking out slows its growth. longer lasting for worst pain, I assume fair trade for some. I guess, I for one stick to old fashioned razor even if one of HERO boys called my foliage ' like monkey" (no , I'm not that hairy but compared to smooth Thai skin we so love....)
July 6, 20179 yr Smooth bum and balls is a gain There are usually some aftercare recommendations like not taking a warm shower for 24 hours. To prevent redness, sores & so on. Do you manage OK with this after arrival in Thailand ?
July 7, 20179 yr Author There are usually some aftercare recommendations like not taking a warm shower for 24 hours. To prevent redness, sores & so on. Do you manage OK with this after arrival in Thailand ? No problems at all really, if you shower on the same day there is a little bit of a sting when the soap hits the clean areas but nothing else has happened. At La Nature they applied a disinfectant after the waxing so I guess that helps a bit too
July 7, 20179 yr Waxing removes the hairs from their lowest inside the follicle. Therefore it is much longer lasting than shaving. Also repeated waxing and plucking out slows its growth. I don't think that plucking out hairs slows their growth. I have the one or other stray hair here and there, that I have been plucking for years, they all grow back.
July 7, 20179 yr We do learn something new everyday on this Forum!!! HAHAHA I just let my Filipino Travel Guy take the scissors to old Dad. He does a neat job...
July 7, 20179 yr I don't think that plucking out hairs slows their growth. I have the one or other stray hair here and there, that I have been plucking for years, they all grow back. Maybe it's all a folktale, like the one that shaving hair makes it thicker. If this were so, we would all shave our scalp to get more hair there...
