If you've ever visited the Kingdom you'll see massage parlors all throughout Thailand. The locals get massages, the tourist get massages, everyone gets massages in this country. It's so common that the price is often no more than your Starbucks coffee.
Being handicap and from a country with poor social welfare programs is not easy. Often the blind learn to do massage, and they naturally excel at it. Many people shy away from having a handicap person give you a massage, there for the prices are even lower. With their heightened senses the massage is often incredible.
I recently got a massage from the blind in the north east corner of old town in Chiang Mai. It was a good experience, a different experience; being in the company of half a dozen blind people was quite unusual. Besides the massage I saw how they count money, walk around, and often pass time with their head phones on. I was happy to go there and help support their livelihood by giving them my business. A lot of people were going there and yes, it was a great massage!
