Communicate Pressure Preferences
Thai massage can be intense. Say 'bao bao' for lighter pressure or 'nak nak' for harder. A good therapist will check in, but don't hesitate to speak up — suffering in silence defeats the purpose.

Why go, and how to do it well
Tucked into a residential area of Tambon Wiang in central Chiang Rai, Aree Thaimassage is a neighborhood massage shop offering oil massage and bodywork from a small team of therapists known for their warmth and attentiveness. Visitors have highlighted the skill of individual therapists — one named Mei Mei is specifically praised for her strength and technique — and the generally relaxed, friendly atmosphere that keeps regulars coming back. Oil massage is the clear standout here, with multiple visitors describing it as a satisfying and genuinely relaxing experience. The staff have also gone beyond the basics on occasion, helping guests arrange airport transfers — a thoughtful touch that reflects the personal, informal nature of the place. It is worth noting that foot massage has received less enthusiasm from visitors, so those seeking that specifically may want to look elsewhere. Some guests have noted inconsistencies in cleanliness and service, and at least one visitor was charged an additional 100 baht for a private room without being informed upfront. It is worth asking about room options and any additional charges before your session begins. Pricing is not listed publicly, so calling ahead or stopping in to confirm availability is advisable, particularly if you are working around a travel schedule.

Reviews from Google
Very kind staff. They even booked the transport to the airport for me. Don't know her name, but the massage therapist was very nice and actually funny. Will return some day!
Nice relaxing oil massage. Very warm, friendly masseuses to accommodate your needs. Not the place to go for a foot massage.
They charged 100 baht extra for a private room without first asking us. It was an unwelcome surprise when the bill came. The place itself didn’t feel very clean

Tips for Visiting Wellness & Spas
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.
Try a Herbal Compress
Add a herbal compress (luk pra kob) to your massage — steamed bundles of lemongrass, turmeric, and camphor pressed into sore muscles. It's deeply therapeutic and uniquely Thai. Usually just 200–300 THB extra.
