Strolling down Sukhumvit in Bangkok on the quest for a foot massage, I found something even better – a Fish Spa! You stick your feet in a tank, and tiny fish nibble on your dead crusty skin. They darted between my toes, fighting over the tasty morsels of street-baked cuticles. They latched on to my callouses and tickled my arches. They sucked their way right up my shins. I felt like the Little Mermaid getting a nautical pedicure and foot massage from my little piscine pals. After my Fish Spa, Tony and I indulged in real foot massages performed by humans.
When I leaned down to get this photo, Tony muttered from his massage chair, “If you drop my camera in the fish tank, then your camera will become my camera.” He’s so funny.

Mike, Brenna and I did a fish massage here in Saigon. Freaky! Not to top you, but we had a BAZILLION tiny fish munching on us! We couldn’t see our feet. It was crazy! Mike’s bro & niece are here and we’ve already recommended it, just for the experience. I didn’t find it relaxing because it kind of tickles, but it’s such a great story starter. “One time in Saigon, the funniest thing happened while tiny fish were eating the dead skin off my feet…”
did it hurt?? what did it feel like?
I agree with Shiny – it tickled! But I liked it a lot!!
