Apologies for not finishing my trip report from last November but I've had a lot to get through, not much else happened on that trip except another visit to Senso where I selected another 2hr massage (but I asked him to forget the oil and not touch the neck) and the massage was quite reasonable and finished off remarkably well. I did have what I would call a proper massage at Urban Thai on soi Thaniya but that for me was more a remedial massage as there was no extras on offer and I may add was a very good massage. That and I was invited to go on a private cruise on the Chao Phraya river with some old friends and it was a very relaxing days outing. The flight home was delayed by an hour which from memory is close to normal for Thai airways on the Perth flight and it was a bit rough too, plenty of turbulence along the way but arrived home ok. Given all that's happened / happening I am planning another trip later this year but not too sure of the date yet, with the hotel I am hoping to wind back the hands of time and stay at the Tarntawan again, it's been many years since I was there last. Currency exchange was mostly done at X-One on Surawong which gave me the best rates for the Australian "peso" but I did use the exchange at Silom 64 building a few times as I was going past on the way out for the evening.

Had my first medical procedure a few days after getting home and it worked OK (3 epidural injections in the neck and restored a lot of feeling in the hands) but alas the big one has been delayed, it seems that I am not suffering enough to warrant such a major operation (oh well such is life). Not having full feeling in my hands and fingers (zero pain thankfully) is a nuisance but I'm not letting it control what I do so am continuing on with life as normal until it gets too bad and the time for the operation comes along. In the meantime my thoughts will be on a trip later this year.

Hopefully you use the @vinapu calendar and it'll be sooner than you think 😉

Is Urban Thai a mixed shop or just female?

Happy landings on your next trip!

Mostly female but there were guys doing foot massages downstairs so I would imagine they would also be available for massages in the rooms (mine was by a female)
