Limp as a Thai Noodle
That's what I felt like after leaving Pho Siam, a Thai Massage joint that just recently moved into my neck of the woods.
Pho Siam was up until recently located in Hollywood. Jenny was addicted to this place after discovering it a few years ago. The LA Weekly gave it props in its LA's Best edition the other year.
Although I never attended the previous location, the new digs are quite nice. You wouldn't expect it, located in the no man's land stretch of Glendale Blvd. between Echo Park and Downtown. A variety of rooms are dimly lit and populated by a variety of "rooms" divided by curtains and containing thin mattresses on the floor. It’s all tastefully done.
If you've never had a Thai Massage, the lowdown is as follows. The massage is full body (sorry boys, I aint talkin about release) from your head to the tip of your toes. Not only that, but the masseuse uses not only their hands, but their elbows, feet, and knees. At one point, they literally walk on their knees up and down your back. The massage is deep and concentrated, facilitated with oil of course.
An hour massage is 40bucks and an hour and a half is 60. Not too shabby for the quality and style provided here. This place is coveted by the hip bargain hunters in the know. Definitely make a reservation before you go.
Pho Siam is located at 1525 Pizarro St. off of Glendale.
