Massage

There are many massage establishments scattered around the island. If you find a suitably qualified masseur (male or female), it can be a very rewarding and satisfying experience and will make you feel great. Finding the right masseur is frankly a bit of a lottery, as even the noted massage parlours with good reputations can have good and bad masseurs. This is evidenced by feedback - a single massage parlour attracts comments ranging from fantastic to very poor. We suggest that you check whether the parlour you are thinking of going to specifically states that all their masseurs are fully qualified, and always insist that you have a good, professional masseur. Stick to the traditional "physical massage" parlours and avoid the places that look as though they might offer 'additional services'. A row of scantily-clad masseuses sitting outside is a good indication that the emphasis is more on "extra services" than the quality of the massage. Massages offered in your resort will always be a lot more expensive and not necessarily any better than you can find outside from a decent massage parlour. In most massage parlours, the going rate for a traditional Thai massage is 300B for an hour. Specialist massages, such as oil massage, or aromatherapy, or foot reflexology usually cost a little more.
