Getting a massage in Thailand is a highlight of many vacations. Thailand is a land of many wonders β stunning beaches, delectable cuisine, and world-renowned massages. However, you should know a few things to make the most of your massage experience without any unexpected surprises.
Thai massages are known for being affordable, making it a guilt-free indulgence. Prices can vary depending on the type of massage, location, and the establishment itself. However, you can always find local Thai massage places that offer excellent services at a fraction of the cost.
One-hour Thai foot massages from a row of chairs lined up along the street or market often cost only baht. For foot massage in Thailand, we generally offered the same amount in the tip. They involve a combination of stretching, acupressure, and yoga-like poses, making them relaxing, adventurous, and invigorating.
Then, someone leads you to a dimly lit room filled with soothing music and mattresses on the floor. Sometimes, there are massage tables, but not always. You might walk through an area where other people are getting a massage. And others may walk through your area, too! Usually, some curtains are between the tables or floor mats. Often, the tables and mats are so close that Steve and I could literally touch each other through the curtain. Your skilled massage therapist will use their hands, elbows, knees, and feet to work their magic, targeting your pressure points and kneading away your stress.
Be bold about communicating your preferences. Whether I was naked or dressed during a full-body Thai massage, it seemed inevitable that my boobs got a cupping from behind at the end of the massage.
