Frequently asked questions
Is tipping expected?
Tipping the therapist directly is appreciated and the local norm is 50-100 baht for an hour. Larger tips are not necessary unless you booked an extended luxury treatment. The bill itself does not include service charge except at hotel spas.
Is the massage suitable for a first-time visitor?
Yes the staff are used to first-timers and will guide you through. Mention any injuries pregnancy or pressure preferences before starting. Thai massage involves stretching that some find intense Western-style oil massage is gentler.
Do I need a reservation at Sala Spa Ayutthaya?
Walk-ins are usually accepted during off-peak hours. For evenings 5pm-8pm or weekend slots booking 1-2 hours ahead is sensible. You can call directly or message the spa on LINE.
