To Do in Cambodia: Fishy Feet "Massage"

One of my favorite things to do when people visit are dorky things that you kind of always wanted to try but had to wait to do them with people who wouldn't judge you.

This is one of those things.

A "massage" courtesy of little skin-sucking fish.

If you're in Siem Reap to see Angkor Wat, put a little time aside to pay the two dollars for thirty minutes sitting on the edge of a tank while crazy little fish with mouths like sandpaper suck on your toes and heels.

It feels pretty crazy at first.

It's hard to get used to.

But eventually you settle in and it starts to feel more like a tickle that you can stand.

And if you can't get used to it, you can pay an extra dollar for a beer and forget that it tickles.

And if you can speak a little Khmer, you might even be able to get an extra ten minutes for free while chatting with the girls who run the massage stands.

So if you're in Siem Reap: Dr. Fish next to the Blue Pumpkin near the Old Market.  And you can go grab yourself a brownie or some ice cream afterward at the Blue Pumpkin next door if you're too traumatized by the tickling.

Have you ever had fishies "massage" you before?
