Dr. Fish pedicure treatment, Koh Samui, Thailand

Wow ! Little Garra Rufa fish about the size of guppies nibble on your dead skin, creating baby-smooth beautiful skin. It was quite ticklish, and felt almost like electrical current running thru your feet. This shop is located in the Fisherman's Village on Bo Phut Beach. 300 baht (~US$9) for 30 minutes.

are those bandages on your feet?

@Maria112169

Yes, the little piranhas got a little overly rambunctious. :-) Just kidding.

I had a couple of blisters, so they first cover up any sores on your feet with band-aids.

@joefoxxjan1 pretty cool :)

i recently heard that fish pedicures might be banned because they promote the transmission of diseases like HIV... :\

[joefoxxjan1]

@Maria112169

Highly unlikely, as there is no known risk of HIV transmission from swimming pool water or communal bath water. Maybe just a rumor...

[Maria112169]

@joefoxxjan1 the HIV transmission would occur from the fishes

@Maria112169

He-he. My, my, in my old age I've forgotten what it's like to have such a vivid imagination. HIV-positive fish. Ya gotta love it... :-)

a foot fetish dream

[robbyvenetian]

Probably the fish are not positive, but if they keep in mouth some blood they could carry it?

[Peoplepopo]

you sound like elmo

[derektonyhohl]

How do you keep the water staralized.. from foot funguses?

[joeadu]

is it possible to step on the fish when you put your feet in?

@BebopBluesM11 *you're a complete idiot c:

[DietrichPiet]

Maybe Koh Samui better than Koh Samed now !

[BebopBluesM11]

@Maria112169 your not very bright, go back to biology. 1. HIV can only be transfered by bodily fluids, 2. the fish are only eating dead skin not bodily fluids 3. human viruses do not affect most animals like fish. your a complete idiot. 4. there is no way for the fish to transfer the virus since its mouth is not strong enough to penetrate our skin.
