Being a masseuse is somewhat similar to being a hair dresser. One gets to know peoples' deepest secrets. Things people would never dare share with a spouse, their children or even a best friend, are shared with the masseuse. Why? It's because people, when having their hair done or having a massage, are completely relaxed. They have nowhere to go and nothing to do. A certain honesty emerges that isn't to be found anywhere else.
These stories are all true accounts. Only in Thailand could such strange events happen. It is no wonder Thailand is called "The Land of Smiles". One can only smile at the sheer magnitude of the beauty, the strangeness and eccentricities of human behavior. The reader becomes privy to a Thai-eye-view of the Westerner on vacation or the Asian gallivanting around South East Asia looking to do things they would never do at home.
