Phuket's top five massage SPA shops are recommended to enjoy pleasant services

When you come to the warm Phuket for vacation, you must experience the world-famous Thai SPA massage, which not only solves the problem of physical fatigue, but also enjoys pleasant services! But many people come to Phuket for massage for the first time, and they are full of questions about SPA and Thai massage! For example, "What is the difference between them?" "Is it expensive?" "How should I choose?" and so on. In order to let you enjoy a better massage, without further ado, we will immediately enter the answering session of "Thai Massage and SPA".

What is the difference between Thai massage and SPA

Massage, Thai massage, hydrotherapy, SPA, what is the relationship or difference between them? Many people can't tell them apart~ In fact, massage is a synonym for Thai massage. Thai massage pays more attention to the stretching and release of the body, using the connection between joint acupoints, using pushing, pressing, kneading, pulling, knocking and other techniques, mixing Western aromatherapy essential oils and Thai spices, so that the body temporarily relieves pain and achieves the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.



Hydrotherapy and SPA are the same massage therapy, which refers to a more professional leisure maintenance beauty. SPA focuses more on physical and mental enjoyment, using water combined with aromatherapy, essential oils or plant essences to promote skin metabolism, and using bathing, massage, smearing and other methods to satisfy the visual, taste, touch and smell enjoyment, and achieve a comfortable beauty effect.

Comparison of Masseurs

The masseurs in Thai massage shops have heavier strength. During the massage, you can feel the sour feeling, but it is very comfortable after the massage. Because it is necessary to massage the corresponding acupoints, the ability of the masseur is required to be higher. The masseurs in SPA shops are very gentle and very suitable for girls. The on-site lighting, music, and fragrance make people very relaxed. It is a way to relieve stress. The Thai SPA shop will adapt to the local customs. The masseurs in the shop have been professionally trained and can also provide many popular classic Thai massages. The technology will be better than the Thai massage shops on the roadside.

Price comparison



In Thailand, there are more Thai massage shops than SPA shops, and they are almost everywhere in the streets and alleys. Thai massage is cheap and almost all of them are built on the roadside, so that guests can enter at any time. Most of the small shops have a relatively simple environment, and the service staff are basically Thais who do not speak English, so communication is very difficult. The level of technicians may be uneven, and the quality is different, and the effect depends on luck. It is recommended to go to a brand chain Thai massage shop, the quality will be more guaranteed.

Because SPA shops follow a high-quality service attitude, each technician needs to spend a lot of time to receive guests, and usually appointments must be made in advance to arrange. Although SPA is more expensive than Thai massage, the price in Phuket is much cheaper than in China. If you buy a package online in advance, then the price of a set of SPA is actually not much different from that of a Thai massage on the street, and the price is very cost-effective.

How to choose

If time is tight and the budget is insufficient, it is recommended to choose Thai massage, which will be more convenient. There are shops in the streets and alleys, and the price of any one is very cheap. However, it is best to choose a chain brand store, and the massage effect will be better. If you have enough time and budget, it is recommended to choose SPA to enjoy high-quality massage. The environment is clean and quiet, the masseurs are professionally trained, and the products they use are all high-end brands, so the service quality is more guaranteed.

Things you need to know in advance



Reservation: Except for popular shops, Thai massage shops generally do not require reservations, and you can go directly to the shop for consumption. You must make reservations in advance on the official website or agency of the SPA shop, because most SPA shops have very full reservation schedules. In order to avoid disrupting your vacation plan, it is recommended to make reservations in advance. And the price may be more favorable than on-site!

Issues to note when doing massage: You cannot eat within an hour before or after the massage, but you must drink enough water, which can enhance the effect of the massage.

Tips: Most massage shops or SPA shops do not force guests to tip. You can choose to give or not according to the quality of the masseur's service. Generally, 20-100 baht is enough.

Arrangements after the end: Thai massage shops generally allow you to leave after the massage, and you cannot stay too long. After the SPA shop, the masseur will give the guests a few minutes to change clothes and do their makeup and hair, and then wait for the guests at the door to pack up, and then take them to the lobby for snacks and tea. The shop will provide a free herbal tea and dessert to enjoy. It’s okay to eat slowly before leaving.
