Massage and spa in Phuket is one of the many activities you will enjoy while traveling.

Massage and spa treatments in Phuket are one of the many activities that tourists enjoy while visiting Thailand. Here, massages are cheap and available everywhere. You don’t have to plan; you just have to choose. Depending on your free time, an hour or two can wash away the fatigue and aches from your explorations. And what better way to spend the occasional rainy day?

A spa is a great experience, offering more treatments than you could try on holiday. Some can be elaborate and even a little over the top. Usually, your hotel will have its own spa. I remember back in the day when hotel names didn't always end with "& Spa", especially when some were little more than massage parlours. The most popular treatments are aromatherapy, scrubs and Thai massage.

Beach Massage



Beach massages are fun and easy! Since you have nothing to do, treat yourself to a little more nothingness! Open-air salas are great for spending an hour under the massage of excellent masseuses, listening to the sounds of the waves and the beach, and the breeze. Usually costs 300 to 400 baht per hour. Advice: For an excellent massage, go for older ladies, not young and pretty ones!

Street Foot Massage



They are everywhere, sometimes even on the streets, with rows of La-Z-Boy chairs everywhere, making them easy to spot. Foreigners who are not familiar with it may find it a little sensitive at first, but will be surprised at how wonderful it is after the first five minutes. Please don't be shy; try it! If you walk a lot, it will put you back on your feet like magic. You can ask for "soft pressure" or "hard pressure" according to your preference. Strong pressure can provide better results, but in some cases, it can be painful.

Thai Massage



Thai massage is usually offered in the same shop as foot massage. In most places it is nothing more than a mattress separated by a curtain. They usually offer Thai massage without the use of oil. If you have back problems, let the masseur know so that you can avoid twisting and stretching your back.

Fish Spa in Phuket



Everyone tries this more for fun than for any real reason. Dipping your feet into an aquarium full of little suction cups is a fun idea, and it can feel itchy at first. Some people report that their skin becomes softer after this strange experience—yet another reason to try it and decide for yourself. I even saw a spa once; I wonder how safe that is.
