Nakee Thai Massage ( Bo Phut - Koh Samui )
Tucked into the laid-back beach village of Bo Phut on Koh Samui's north coast, this dedicated massage studio has built a strong reputation among both repeat visitors and first-timers for the quality and consistency of its treatments. Therapists including Tong, Risa, Kung, Toey, and Keaw are frequently highlighted by name in visitor feedback, reflecting a level of personal skill and attentiveness that sets the studio apart from more generic spa offerings on the island. Guests can choose from traditional Thai massage and Thai oil massage, with treatments tailored to individual needs — whether that means targeted deep tissue work to release stubborn muscle knots or a more flowing, relaxing session using jasmine-scented oil. The studio itself is described by visitors as clean and comfortable, with a calm atmosphere that supports genuine rest and recovery. Couples visiting together are well catered for, with side-by-side sessions available. Good to know: Specific opening hours are not listed online, so it is advisable to stop by in person or arrange a booking directly, particularly during Koh Samui's busier tourist periods. The Bo Phut location is convenient for those staying in the village or visiting the nearby Fisherman's Village walking street. For traditional Thai massage, loose and comfortable clothing is recommended, as the treatment is performed fully clothed.

Visitor Reviews
Outstanding Thai Oil Massage – Tong & Kung were amazing! We had an absolutely wonderful Thai oil massage with Tong and Kung. From start to finish, the experience was incredibly relaxing and professional. Both of them were very skilled, attentive, and clearly experienced. They perfectly adjusted the pressure to our needs and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. You could really feel the difference – every movement was thoughtful and precise, leaving us completely relaxed afterwards. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, and Tong and Kung were so kind and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a high-quality Thai oil massage. We would definitely come back again. Thank you so much!
I had a wonderful experience at this massage studio. Risa and Tong are both extremely professional and talented. The massage was excellent—very relaxing and exactly what I needed. The studio itself is clean, calm, and has a very pleasant atmosphere, which makes it easy to relax from the moment you arrive. They pay great attention to their clients and make sure everything is comfortable. I left feeling refreshed and completely relaxed. I can highly recommend Risa and Tong to anyone looking for a high-quality massage and a great studio. I will definitely come back!
For two weeks, my husband and I visited the Nakee salon. We have tried various massages, and the service is always very polite and attentive. Our backs said "thank you", it's really easier to move. Many thanks to the massage therapists Jeab, Vas, Lilly, Tong and Kung, a wonderful massage is guaranteed!
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.
