double trouble

Gambling is prevalent in Vietnam; however, a law that only allows those with foreign passports to enter local casinos allow for plausible deniability (what's your sign?). Given its proximity, busloads of locals would travel to the casinos at the Cambodia border. Naga World is one such place in Phnom Penh. However, after perusing the casino floor, I soon discovered that there were no craps table to socialize. Fortunately, the spa was open until 3am, which even the king of sin cities (aka Las Vegas) doesn't even offer (well, not counting the rub & tug establishments). 

One of the services was a four-hand massage. The only other time I've experienced this was in Mexico. Definitely something that I couldn't pass up. The spa facilities were definitely something to write home about - caverns of rooms with individual steam showers, hot saunas, large bathtubs, beds and massage tables. It was a shame that I came alone as my immediate thought was that there were so many options for hours-long entertainment.

I opted for the 120 minutes session. I may have a small frame, but this body likes to be bruised when it comes to massages. Every crevice was worked on. A masseur once told me that there is a certain way to work on the lower back which would eventually result in a happy ending. In my travels, I haven't quite discovered this technique...yet. However, while the four hands didn't quite get me the happy ending, it was dang close. After three straight nights of partying until 2-3am, I sure slept like a baby!
