- Traditional 2-hour Thai massage is the signature treatment and worth the time commitment
- Therapists trained in traditional Thai techniques with consistent quality across treatments
- Talad Massage in Chiang Rai City Centre, the central area around the clock tower and Night Bazaar delivers genuine Thai massage rather than the hurried tourist-strip version found in busier areas

Frequently asked questions

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.
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.
