Makkha Health & Spa Chiang Mai (Rachadamnoen)

4.9(1,034 reviews)

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.

Visitor Reviews

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

Absolutely amazing spa! So far we’ve gone to no less than 8 places to get massages while here in Thailand and this one is by far the best. Extremely clean and such a welcoming atmosphere. We did the spa package that included the body scrub, oil massage, and facial. It ended up being 3 hours worth of a peaceful experience.

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.

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.
