Phish Phood in Phuket

// November 3rd, 2009 // by Andy

So… had a bit of a strange experience today. We’re in our final days in Phuket before we head up to Bangkok and the weather was a bit grey so we decided to head to some shopping malls and have a bit of a browse.

While wandering around we came across a Fish Foot Spa, which basically involves sticking your feet into a massive bowl of Doctor Fish (also called Garra Rufa) which then proceed to suck off all of the dead skin and dirt, leaving you with silky smooth, clean feet!

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect but it felt pretty much like having 500 odd fish sucking on your feet – in other words, it tickled like hell! Afterwards, my feet felt really tingly and are now softer than they’ve ever been! Great experience – definitely worth a try!

Also, grabbed a quick video – enjoy!
