Good Oil Massage In Chiang Mai?

[blackbox]

Hello everyone,

I do a lot of physical activities and when my body gets sore I need a oil massage for recovery.

Which massages places can you recommend?

-I prefer oil massage and the best option would be if there is possibility to take a shower when finished.

Thanks a lot

Golden hands on the estate square behind carrefour is a nice place, good price and skill, plus have showers and changing rooms with lockers.

As I wrote before on forum I think best massage, either oil massage or Thai massage, is at Maripaun Salon and Thai Traditional Massage on Maejo Road. They have showers, air-con and 3 excellent masseuses. Price for oil massage is 250 baht per hour. It is on left side Maejo road heading from CM to Maejo. 6.5 km from Rimping market at meechok Plaza. Just go to second traffic light, make u-turn and come back towards Chiang Mai. Shop is betweenr Wawee Cofee and Wang Buathong muban. There are signs out front. It is best to make appointment. Phone number is 0852849118.

Absolutely right!!!!

After your last message on this subject, I visited the shop and the massage was brilliant and relaxing in nice clean rooms with AC. Highly recommended....I am not involved in the business of this establishment.....purely a satisfied customer.

Is this a strictly therapeutic oil massage? It's hard to tell sometimes.

[Sparkles]

Hard to tell ? only if you happened to be in a coma !!!

[leininger]

Maripaun massage oil massage is therapeutic oil massage. However if you do not want this type just tell masseuse you want it "for relax" and they will not do strong deep tissue massage as in therapeutic style.

I use the Loikroh Traditional Thai Massage & Yoga School

Web site Loikroh Massage

Hope this helps

Try Dokmai Massage on Thapae Soi 1. It's a small place owned by a very friendly, English-speaking Thai woman named Ooy. She does oil massage and traditional Thai massage. Oil massage is 250 baht / hr and Thai massage is 200 baht / hr, although you could probably talk her into a discount. She even has an espresso machine in case you want a coffee fix (which I do).. There is a shower in the restroom. Ooy is a wealth of information about the local area and she really helped me when I visited Chiang Mai. I've attached a Google Earth placemark to her business. Enjoy!

You know, how you receive a massage is so personal, the only way to find out if it's good for you is to find out yourself.

I am addicted to massages and I noticed that the cheaper treatments are just as good, or sometimes even better ;-), than the spa-versions.

Oilmassages are 200, 250, 300, so it's not a fortune you lose when it's not suitable.

[nikster]

True, plus the masseuse is more important than the place. Still there are some that stand out. I agree that more money doesn't mean you get a better massage. At best it pays for nicer environs... nicer room etc

Another recommendation: Home Massage on Loi Kroh.

Just had them treat my swollen foot and hamstring injury, they are just brilliant. The pretty ladies are across the street but the good massage is here! Hurt like hel_l but they told me to come back in 3 days for a second treatment and then it would be all good. If it works i must say its genius. I'll report back.

HI just back from trying (It's a long way from Hang Dong!)

Good massage, but nothing better than I can get much closer to home

in the Chanklan Rd area.

I'll add my "plus one" to that. Me and Mrs Pikey have been going there for a number of years and have always had a great massage - her Thai, me, due to a dodgy back, oil. The ladies are older and a bit heftier, but certainly know their business.

Cheers,

Pikey.
