Aree Massage 4

The hours are the headline here. Doors stay open from 10 in the morning until 3am, every day of the week, which makes this one of the few places you can walk into after a late dinner or a longer night out and still get a proper Thai massage before bed. That's the main reason I'd point someone towards it.

Set your expectations to practical rather than plush. This is a working neighbourhood massage shop on Soi Pattaya 13/4, not a resort spa with orchid petals and a welcome tea. Traditional Thai massage and straightforward bodywork are what it does, and the steady stream of repeat customers suggests the therapists know their trade. If you want candles, silence and a robe, spend your money elsewhere in Pattaya. If you want an hour of someone properly working the knots out of your shoulders at an hour when most places have shut, this does the job.
