orang37 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 By respectable, I mean not a place where men go for ... uhhh ... financial liposuction, and other "extras." A quiet, clean, not crowded, place ? Where a weary traveler can recover from 30 hours of international travel ? And, I mean "nuwat boran" massage, as taught in the famous school in Wat Pho, and its branches. To complicate: while there are lots of hi-so spas for women here, they are very pricy ... is there such a thing as a spa with traditional massage and some other relaxing procedures ... for under 1000 baht for a package ? An obvious choice is the Traditional medicine clinic/school on Thippanet Road: is that still open ? I appreciate your suggestions ! ~o:37; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 1FinickyOne Posted November 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) There is a place that does traditional massage in a little shopping area on the south east area outside the moat... It is the same area where Sweety Restaurant is located... the keto place - across from that... I have only been for foot massage but I am pretty sure it is a serious place, no hanky panky or hokey pokey.. There are also the places with the prisoner ladies who give massage - plenty of places really Even on Loi Kroh as you enter the soi from the moat, on your right hand side, there are places w/outside seating for foot massage, they also have a/c inside and old ladies who are pretty good...

thaibeachlovers Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Obvious place is Wat Po. Not expensive. Want a female oriented spa ( whatever that may be ) good luck finding one of them cheap, however, why don't you try your hotel massage place? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Most good hotels have a legitimate massage shop somewhere on the premises. There are usually small, legitimate massage shops in most Thai neighborhoods, staffed by older women and sometimes blind masseurs'. Usually close to a marketplace or in a shopping area like a BigC concourse. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibeachlovers Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Ah, on a closer look, you are in Chiang Mai and a male. It's not compulsory to be liposuctioned- just tell her only massage and promise a nice tip if a good massage, OR, get a visiting one from a reputable company- ask a friendly female hotel receptionist.

blanes2007 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) I can recommend you newly opened Kunlarat massage near Shangri La Hotel Google maps 18.77823107479257, 99.00324968703656 they provide really professional massage, brand new rooms and furniture after renovation, and air conditioning. I recommend it as i already tried a lot of different massage shops in CM but this one is by far the best.

NancyL Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I've gone to the spa at Le Meridien Hotel, but that may be outside the desired price range. The main reason is that they have a lady who gives a real reflexology foot massage, or at least they did before Covid. I could actually feel the improvement in my neck and shoulders, fragile areas where I don't want a direct hands-on massage. Other so-called reflexology foot massages are just glorified foot massages, in my experience. It might be nice for your lady-friend to splurge on an upscale massage package at one of the nice hotels or Oasis Massage. Truly better than something that's less than 400 baht/hour. It's not just the massage, but the entire experience. Warning though -- I once treated an older friend to a couples massage at Le Meridien on Mother's Day and she slept through most of the experience. I found her snoring most annoying. If your friend is likely to fall asleep because she's so relaxed, then maybe something that's 300 baht/hour is OK. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many condos and hotels do have massages (no sex massage) for 200-300 baht/hour. Less than 200 is now hard to find after Covid-19. My GF's favorite massage on Thepprasit Road has increased their rate (180 to 220) compared to Covid-19 prices.

LaosLover Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Search for Woman Prisoner's Massage in the Old City. It's a very worthy micro-charity. The massage was fine. GoodSouls excellent vegan restaurant is nearby on the same strip to make a very instagramable day of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
