Let me tell you something. I had the best massage here, deep tissue but with feeling. The massage was only the cherry on top. The whole experience is relaxing, kind, thoughtful, to really relax. The owner is so kind and speaks english well, she gave us breakfast, cookies, tea afterwards, always trying to make you comfortable and relaxed. Also she is such a sweetheart, help you with anything you need in Krabi. If you book 1 h massage, expect to be here longer, a few more minutes because of the whole experience. It is very clean and they have single use towels and sheets. Have been in a lot of spas, but felt like i went in and out, back into action, but here, the world stops and resets. I cant describe how pleased I am to have been recomended this place. ♥️
Great massage place, good masseuse offering good traditional Thai massage. The receptionist was very kind to us too, offering us water, ginger tea and Thai cakes and even banana (packed them in a plastic for us to have them cause they’re not fully ripe yet). Highly recommend this place! 💖

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.
