Hi.

My girlfriend has degenerative disc disease which causes awful headaches. The only thing which can help is a really professional massage. After a 10 time course she forgets about headache for 3-4 months.

Last time she visited Vietnamese massage salon in Phnom Phen, but now it's that time again and I don't know any good places here in Pattaya. Most people say there no places here where one can find really professional massage. Is that true? What I need is massage for neck, shoulders and spine.

Thank you in advance!

I would rather advise you a chiropractor. Not sure of any in Pattaya, but the one I see in bkk is really good. PM me for details.

There is a professional massage place on Pattaya Tai just a few shops up from Walking Street before 2nd Road. Don't confuse it with run-of-the-mill massage shops though, it is about 3 shops down from the Bamboo bar, look up at the overhead sign and see the professional accreditation.

Thenk you! We'll go and try tomorrow.

HealthLand on Pattaya Nua on the left, heading towards the bus station is about the best I've seen in Pattaya. Also quite cheap as a 10 pack of vouchers good for Thai massage (2 hours) is only 2500 THB. A private room is an additional 100 per person. Recommended...

go to the temple wat just across from soi day nite market up from walking street, inside the grounds there is a room with around 15 older thai ladies and men working away, great massage in there for an hour at only 150 thb. or try the blind message school at jomtien complex also cheap there and the best massage you will ever get those blind people feel everything with their hands and are very skilled.

And could you tell me how to get there? This sounds interesting.

I think the blind massage in Jomtien is rather awful. Sorry. Definitely not what the OP is looking for anyway.

One on 2nd Road near Royal Palace Hotel - great massages.

would never have a massage here if you got any problems as i dont think any of them have a clue what they are doing....my husband had one about 2 years ago and she put his back out and he was in agony for the last week of our holiday.

i have had the best and worse massages for 100 baht an hour (plus tip)

tip at least 50 baht (and up)

one gal was tired so she walked on my back

was one of the best i ever had

buyer beware though

especially with a serious aliment as mentioned

the older gals tend to have more experience

it helps if you know what you like and dont like

and can communicate that

it may help to speak a little thai

there is thai and there is oil

there is also foot and facial

oil maybe better for beginning clients

foot a good way to try out thai or to test someone you never had before

or if you dont want to fall asleep too easily

if it hurts too much or feels wrong let them know ASAP

even as a customer, experience is the best teacher

maybe you have to pay your dues so to speak to learn the ropes

i usually pick a gal because i like her (personality)

if i like the massage, i will go back for more

for me it is one of the greatest charms of thailand:

cheap and plentiful GOOD massages

one complaint: they usually close early-ish 10 pm some 11 or 12

a few 1 am or after

question:

any late night or all night places in pattaya?
