Makkha Health & Spa Chiang Mai (Rachadamnoen)
Located on Rachadamnoen Road within Chiang Mai's historic old town, Makkha Health & Spa sits close to the city's temples, markets, and landmark sites, making it a convenient stop for travellers seeking quality wellness treatments alongside sightseeing. The spa positions itself at the upper end of the market, with pricing and presentation to match — treatment rooms are notably well-appointed, and the overall interior makes a strong first impression from the moment guests arrive. The treatment menu includes multi-session packages combining options such as aroma oil massage and Thai herbal ball massage, with sessions ranging from 90 minutes to three hours or more. Visitors consistently note the cleanliness of the facilities, the professionalism of the therapists, and the warm welcome on arrival — guests are typically received with forms and refreshments before their appointment begins. Facials are also among the treatments on offer, and the attentive approach carries through each stage of the visit. Good to know: Makkha operates on an appointment basis, and walk-ins are not reliably accommodated. Booking in advance is strongly recommended, particularly for longer packages or visits during peak tourist periods. As opening hours are not currently listed online, contacting the spa directly before arrival is the most reliable way to confirm availability and reserve a preferred time slot.

Reviews from Google
Truly wonderful experience This is a higher end spa with higher prices and definitely higher end decor AND massage / treatment quality We booked a 3 hour package including 3 different treatments, and wach one was executed to perfection The therapists were also super attentive, when I coughed once my therapists noticed that I was cold and reduced the AC speed and provided additional blankets immediately You fill ina questionnaire regarding your before the massage and get some snacks and tea before and after your treatments, so that you start and end your stay here super relaxed. Overall a place that is worth the higher price tag
A very relaxing place. The masseuses were very professional. Need to book an appointment. We booked for 1.5 hour session. We went 15 minutes before schedule and were given forms to fill and dessert to eat. Ended up 2 hours there as there are pre and post massage desserts.
We had a disappointing premium experience to this branch during our Chiang Mai trip. We booked high-priced 120-minute treatments · (120 MIN) AROMA OIL MASSAGE + THAI HERBAL BALL MASSAGE - 2,780 THB · (120 MIN) THAI MASSAGE + AROMA OIL MASSAGE - 2,420 THB Unfortunately, the quality did not match the price. The therapists seemed to be merely going through the motions. Despite my clear requests to focus on specific areas of tension, these concerns were not attended to. My wife had a similarly poor experience with her treatment. While the environment, refreshments, and free pickup service were good, the core massage service was poor. Massage Quality: ⭐️⭐️ Facilities & Service: +⭐️ Total: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tips for Visiting Wellness & Spas
Learn Wat Pho First
Wat Pho in Bangkok is the birthplace of traditional Thai massage education. Their on-site massage pavilion offers excellent treatments from students and graduates at reasonable prices — and you know the technique is authentic.
Communicate Pressure Preferences
Thai massage can be intense. Say 'bao bao' for lighter pressure or 'nак nак' for harder. A good therapist will check in, but don't hesitate to speak up — suffering in silence defeats the purpose.
Book Longer Sessions
A 60-minute massage is fine, but 90 or 120 minutes allows the therapist to work thoroughly. The price difference is often only 200–400 THB for an extra hour — worth it for a deeper, more relaxing experience.
