On our second visit to Khao San Road we came across a nibbling
fish pedicure spa. I have always wanted
to try this so I immediately walked into the spa, handed over my 150 Baht and
slipped my feet into the pool of hundreds of little hungry fish. The feeling at first is unbearable; it
tickles, pinches, and just feels awkward, but you got to just push through and
get use to it. Once you get over the
initial shock it begins to feel wonderful, it feels like hundreds of little
kisses all over your feet and legs. If
you can bare the feeling and keep your feet completely still, hundreds of
little fish will all feast on your dead skin together, they will find their way
in-between each toe and even clean your nails.
It was a fishtastic 15 minute experience and I recommend it to everyone
to try at least once, and yes your feet do feel better afterwards. Thank you
Doctor Fish. (Photo Credit: Mr. Tony)
