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.
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.
