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.
How long should I plan for at Wiang Wellness Sauna?
Allow the booked treatment time plus 20 minutes either side for changing showering and tea. A 2-hour treatment realistically takes 2.5 hours total. Most spas serve herbal tea and a snack before you leave.
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.
