Frequently asked questions
Do I need a reservation at Pai Lotus Spa?
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.
How long should I plan for at Pai Lotus Spa?
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.
