Kinnaree Massage

I have traveled through almost vietnam and Thailand and love foot massages.. this is one of the BEST foot massages i have EVER had. 10000% recommend. Ask for Ploy, she is amazing! Cannot go wrong with this hidden gem.

Nice and clean. Did a 2 hour oil massage. Very good. Skillful massuer.

My husband and I visited Kinnaree Massage (กินรีหัตถเวช) in Chiang Rai hoping for a relaxing experience, but we left with mixed feelings. We opted for a mixed massage — he chose the back, neck, shoulder + oil massage, and I went for the foot massage + oil massage (1 hour each). The staff were polite, and both of our masseuses were technically good and followed instructions well, which we appreciated. However, the ambience left a lot to be desired. My husband was taken upstairs first and soon texted me saying it was very noisy around him. Although his masseuse was quiet and focused, the other masseuses in nearby sections were talking and laughing loudly, which completely ruined the peaceful vibe you'd expect at a massage place. Not relaxing at all. As for my experience — while the massage technique was good, a few things really made me uncomfortable: First, I wasn’t provided with disposable underwear, which isn’t uncommon in Thailand, so I didn’t think much of it. But then I was told to remove my own underwear — something I’ve never experienced before and found quite awkward. On top of that, the curtain in my section wasn’t fully closed, which made me feel exposed and self-conscious. My husband’s section was the same. Although the masseuse did cover me with a cloth, I couldn't relax properly due to the discomfort. The loud chatter continued, and in an attempt to create some calm, I even played my own relaxing music at full volume — a passive-aggressive move, I admit, but it did help a little. In summary: Pros: Skilled and respectful masseuses Affordable prices Convenient location Cons: Lack of privacy (open curtains, no disposable underwear) Loud and distracting atmosphere Uncomfortable policies that made it hard to relax We really wanted to love this place, but the experience didn’t feel as professional or serene as it should have been. It has potential, but needs to take customer comfort and privacy more seriously. Would we return? Probably not. But with some changes, it could become a much better experience.
