MASSAGE
Everybody seems to be a massage expert in Phuket, and with the high concentration of massage parlours, it is hardly a surprise. The thing about massage is that a poorly performed massage can do more harm than good. Just because you see a cheap price does not mean a bona fide expert will be performing the services. We have provided a guide to inform you of where to visit for the best massage outlets and some tips to ensure you get the best services available in Phuket.
Advice
You will literally see hundreds of small massage establishments in and around the major tourist areas such as Patong, Karon, Kata, Kamala, Rawai and Nai Harn. Although some of these small outlets do provide great services, you can never be sure how well trained the staff is, so beware. Within these small massage shops, you can receive oil, Thai, foot and facial massages for prices ranging from 200 baht to 600 baht. If you are willing to take a slight chance, you could find you receive great massage services for amazing value for money prices. However, you would be at an advantage to visit recommended spas that have certificated and highly trained therapists. This is the best way to get the most from you money and enjoy a real massage experience.
Recommended
We would suggest you skip the average street massage shops and head directly for the higher class spas where you are assured to be dealt with by experts. For the best massage, we suggest you visit the following spas:
- Banyan Tree Spa, Laguna
- JW Marriott Resort & Spa, Mai Khao Beach
- Six Senses Spa, Evason Resort, Rawai
- Palm Spa, Twinpalms Phuket, Surin Beach
- Tew Son Spa, Katathani Phuket Beach Resort, Kata
- Mom Tri's Villa Royale Spa, Kata Noi
If you choose one of these recommended and high quality spas, you will receive the high-class massage you are seeking. The benefits of visiting one of these spas is the beautiful surroundings and highly trained therapists.
