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.
Do I need a reservation at Sabai Sabai Massage?
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.
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.
