Two Pattaya Girls Eaten Alive by Fish

Pattaya Girls being eaten alive by fish.

Two Pattaya girls were eaten alive by fish yesterday as dozens of onlookers stood by in amazement. Not a single person offered aid to the girls. This surprising event took place right in front on Central Festival Shopping Plaza in Pattaya.  The fish continued to eat at the feet and ankles of the local girls for a full fifteen minutes before the ladies finally extracted themselves from the water.

Don’t be alarmed, though, the girls survived the ordeal and, in fact, enjoyed the experience. This event happens to dozens of visitors to the mall everyday in Pattaya.

The Star Fish Spa offers Garra Rufa fish massage

There’s a new vender that has set up shop up right in front of the mall on the Pattaya 2 side of the building. It’s the Star Fish Spa and what they have to offer is a little out of the ordinary. They have huge aquariums set up where you can soak your feet while tiny fish nibble away at your toes and ankles. The fish literally eat you alive as you watch.

According to the sign out in front of the Star Fish Spa, this is a new type of therapy that is supposed to reduce stress. Customers pay 250 baht for the privilege of soaking their feet for 15 minutes in tanks that are filled with tiny fish. Apparently, the fish also remove the bacteria on your feet.

No kidding, I checked it out and sure enough, these therapeutic fish are apparently well known. The tiny creatures are Garra Rufa fish and they were originally discovered in a little town in Turkey called Kangal. Legend has it that the local Turks in Kangal have been using the Garra Rufa fish to cure skin disease for hundreds of years.

Garra Rufa actually look like miniature catfish. Apparently, they have no teeth and are harmless. They suck or nibble off dead skin cells while leaving the new living cells underneath untouched. It’s said that the Garra Rufa also secrete an enzyme that reinvigorates the new cells underneath.

The Garra Rufa is a protected species in Turkey. Nevertheless, the little suckers are bred and shipped all over the world. Modern entrepreneurs have found a new use for the fish. They use them to suck money from the pockets of tourists.

The Star Fish Spa is actually a very popular attraction here in Pattaya. I see people being eaten alive there every time I walk by. Check it out for yourself.
