Oasis Spa (Lanna, Wat Prasing)
Nestled on Samlarn Road in Chiang Mai's historic old city, this established spa draws on Lanna heritage to deliver traditional Thai wellness treatments in a setting designed for deep relaxation. The beautifully maintained building reflects traditional Thai architectural style, and the spa's private cabin format sets it apart from typical massage parlours — guests booking longer packages receive their own space complete with steam sauna, shower, and bath facilities. Treatment options range from focused massage sessions to multi-hour packages that combine body scrubs, facial treatments, and extended massage therapies. Visitors have highlighted treatments such as Himalayan salt scrubs and the Deep Calm Recovery massage as standout experiences. Therapists are consistently noted for their attentiveness and technical skill, particularly in addressing muscle tension. The atmosphere leans toward the polished and professional end of the spectrum, which some guests find luxurious and others find slightly formal compared to a more intimate boutique setting. The spa operates daily from 10:00 to 22:00, making it easy to fit a session around sightseeing. The location near Wat Prasing places it within easy reach of the old city's temples and walking streets, making a late-afternoon appointment a natural pairing with an evening in the neighbourhood. Advance booking is strongly recommended, particularly during the high season between November and February, and for longer multi-hour packages where private cabin availability is limited.

Visitor Reviews
At Oasis Spa we had a luxurious spa experience. We spent three hours in total, starting with a one hour scrub with Himalayan salt, followed by two hours of the Deep Calm Recovery massage. It is more expensive than many other places, and they also add 7 percent VAT and 10 percent service charge to the total price. That said, you really get a super deluxe experience in beautiful surroundings with very professional staff. Compared to what you would pay for something similar in my home country, it is still very cheap. It was around 6,000 baht per person for three hours, everything included. They also offered promotional discounts on other spa packages, but we wanted the deep tissue massage and chose to pay full price. The massage was very good and firm, and the staff were incredibly sweet and did a great job. I also liked that you get a small private hut for your treatment, with a beautiful bathroom where you can shower before or after. I would definitely recommend this place if you want something a little more luxurious than the usual massages you find everywhere.
We booked in advance to avoid disappointment 😀 Prior to our oasis spa appointment we tried another massage. We still prefer oasis and would rate them 9/10😀 The masseuse Nicole and Cindy are attentive. They are very professional and they don’t giggle or whispers or chit chat at work. Cindy worked on my back using her fingers and lesser of the elbow and I feel that my back is loosen up. As if her fingers has “eyes” and see which part needs more attention. Nicole is structured and really detailed and paid attention when my husband said his shoulder needs more care. After finishing the 2-1/2 hours of spa. They treated us with sticky rice mango and it’s so exquisite and so yummy The front reception two staff are very respectful and polite and I admire them for their patience when I see some patrons came in and has other demand and they stayed calm and patience. Thank u. Will be back again
Great spa experience, beautiful building in traditional Thai style, the welcome was professional, almost too professional, it lacked some warmth (missing the warm feeling of a boutique salon), the masseuse was lovely, highly professional, good English and asked all the right questions on pressure, treatment confirmation, and room temperature. She also has good system, highly professional. I went for the warm oil massage, however the oil was room temperature, so that didn’t work out well. Not worth the extra investment. But everything else made up for it. I would definitely go back.

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.
