Fish spas are popping up everywhere in Chiang Mai, but Mrs. Aphinphon Sonderquist’s shop near Tha Phae Gate offers a unique twist: foot nibbling and second-hand books! 🐟📚🇹🇭
Located on Kotchasarn Road, this popular spot lets you dangle your feet into tanks of Garra rufa fish (originating from the Middle East) for a 99-baht exfoliation session while browsing shelves of pre-loved paperbacks. From subtle tickles to significant nips, the experience leaves your skin smooth—and often hooks you into buying the book you were reading!
While health concerns led to US bans over fish sterilization rules, Mrs. Aphinphon ensures high safety standards. For the faint-hearted, she also offers traditional foot massages and souvenir photos printed on the spot to remember the experience.
