Frequently asked questions
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 Phulay Bay Spa Ritz-Carlton?
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.
What should I wear or bring?
Loose clothing is provided for Thai massage and a sarong for oil treatments. Shower facilities vary so check at booking. Bring small cash for tipping the therapist 50-100 baht is the local norm.
