Mostly, people expect to relieve tension, improve flexibility, and a release of blocked energy.

The masseuse will use their hands and elbow to apply firm rhythmic pressure on your legs , feet or back. They may also pull fingers, toes, ears, cracking the knuckles, walking on your back and twist your body into many different positions.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_single_image image=”3294″ css_animation=”fadeInUp” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” border_color=”grey” img_link_large=”yes” img_link_target=”_self” title=”Thai massage” img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_column_text]

Where is a good massage place?

There are many places that you can get massage service. It depends on you budget and time.

1.  Bangkok – a few places that I have used before and the local rate –Body tune ( Paholyothin and Silom road). Many thai people go to Health Land.

2.  Hotel service – Many hotels offer massage service, the rate and ambient is a high service standard. For five star hotel service for example, the Oriental , Banyan tree and Shangrila Hotel,  advance booking is highly recommended. If you go there, you do not need to worry about language barriers.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_single_image image=”3292″ css_animation=”fadeInUp” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” border_color=”grey” img_link_large=”yes” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full” title=”Thai Spa and Massage”][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_column_text]3.  Spa shop – Tria at Piyawet hospital, Oasis spa and Divana Spa are very good reputation and excellent ambient.
