Family massage

4.8(65 reviews)

Situated on Maharaj 10 road in Pak Nam, the heart of Krabi town, Family Massage draws visitors looking for genuine therapeutic bodywork rather than a tourist-oriented experience. The spa offers traditional Thai massage alongside targeted treatments focusing on problem areas such as the back, shoulders, neck, and feet — a detail that resonates strongly with visitors who arrive carrying tension from long days of travel or activity. Therapists here are consistently noted for their attentiveness and ability to respond to specific complaints, adjusting pressure and focus according to what each client actually needs. The atmosphere carries a welcoming, personal quality — one visitor noted that staff even acknowledged a birthday with a song, pointing to the kind of small touches that distinguish a place run with genuine care. The treatment beds are equipped with face cradles, a practical indicator of a professionally set-up space suited to full-body work. As with any popular spa, experiences can vary between individual therapists, so it is worth communicating your preferences and any areas of concern clearly at the start of your session. No website or advance booking information is currently listed, so visiting in person to check availability or enquire about services is the most reliable approach. Family Massage makes a practical and convenient stop for those already spending time in Krabi town.

Visitor Reviews

On my first visit I had a Thai body massage. When I was brought to the bed and saw a hole in the bed where I placed my face lying on my front while the masseuse started working on my back, I knew this was going to be a good one at least for my neck. Other massage places do not have a hole in the bed so when lying face down, my neck hurt from having to turn to my right or left in an unnatural position. Yes the massage was well done. She was an experienced and well trained masseuse. On my next visit I asked for a foot massage and a facial massage. Both massages were excellent. There are not many massage places that offer facials as well. Again, the masseuses were very good with the massages. On the day when I was leaving Krabi town, I used Grab to get a ride. The driver arrived and was waiting for me somewhere. The instructions to tell me where to find him given by the driver were incorrect. Fortunately these same masseuses who recognised me helped me call the driver and walked me to where he was parked and waiting for me. Without their help, I wouldn't be able to find the driver who was not at the right pick up point. For all these reasons, I highly recommend this place for excellent and relaxing massages. They are very warm and friendly people.

WOW! Really recommend, the girls were so professional and they did exactly what i asked for, ive been in some massage places in Thailand and i said i had pain in my shoulders lower back and feet, they've always just nodded and didnt really specifically did the areas i asked for, but these girls, they did it so good, so specific, i felt like i was reborn. They also have everything there, a lot of tipes of massage, nails, braids, beauty and other stuff, in great prices! And a bonus is that we've had a rough night, we were stuck on the island, booked some random hotel for the night,but lost without knowing where our hotel was, while looking for it we've come across this family massage, after we finished we asked if they know where the hotel is, we didnt really understand each other, so she just stopped us, took her bike and called us, she took us all the way to the front door of the hotel and when we tried to pay her she literally ran away! I actually chased her for a little while... They were so nice and thoughtful , i trully recommend visiting!

Wow! I’ve been getting various massages for many years and went to different salons every day in Thailand, but the massage here in Krabi at this salon was the BEST of all. The masters really put in a lot of effort—I asked for a strong and deep massage, and that’s exactly what I got here. Big thanks! Highly recommend.

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.
