Deep tissue massage is a wonderful thing. When it's good in Thailand it is very good.

But as all Old Asia Hands will tell you the very best place for this kind of massage is Indonesia. Specifically the island of Java.

This is such a tradition there, that there are as many massage parlors as coffee shops. And it's not a luxury. Everyone from all walks of life goes and gets worked over.

Amazingly enough, the best massage house in Jakarta opened up a branch in the little tourist town in Canada where we have been spending significant amounts of time. The price for a session is approximately 10 times what it is in Jakarta. But all of the girls are from Jakarta, and here on temporary visas, and the massage is every bit as good as in Indonesia.
