oh man, this post on the awesome VH's site reminded me of another bangkok story. another GROSS bangkok story.
ps: i love to tell stories. it's so fun to share.
ok so we met this awesome girl, debs, who told us this horror story about going for a brazillian wax in bangkok. she got her wax, got up to leave, and noticed that the pot of wax (it's the kind of wax they spread on and rip off when it hardens) was full of pubes. completely full, like a beaver had drowned in there. she was totally grossed out, and got the hell out of there. a few days later, she had some troubles of the girlie variety. soon after, her boyfriend had troubles. they went to a doctor and tried to understand his engrish but could only gather that she had contracted some sort of infection and was given a shot in the ass and some drugs.
a few weeks later, when we were back in bangkok, i was in need of a bikini wax before i headed down to the islands (i had already had my legs threaded - never do this. ever. eyebrows only my friends. it's 1.5 hours of torture) so i headed to the beauty salon to get a facial and a wax (all for about $12). remembering the story, i took a look at the wax - no pubes. awesome. so, the thai lady gets to work, except i notice she's not disCARDing the wax. i'm curious, and a little terrified. i decide to go for the basic wax, because i'm not sure what's going on in the wax department and don't want it anywhere near my tender girlie parts, so no thanks, brazillian is out of the question. but i'm watching the wax situation carefully.
she finishes the wax, i get dressed, and note that she threw my used wax back into the pot. but there had been no hair! i had checked!
upon further inspection, i notice a sieve.
they re-use the wax, and sieve out the pubes. cheeky monkeys.
so, ladies, if you're going to travel SE asia, invest in those pre-waxed strips and DIY. i don't care how cheap a wax is there, money comes and goes, but crotch rot can last forever.
