Leela Massage
Situated on Thanon Ratsada in central Phuket, this massage parlour draws visitors seeking traditional Thai therapeutic treatments within easy reach of Phuket Old Town. Its location near the Emporium Mall area makes it a practical stop for travellers exploring the district on foot, and the venue has built a following among those looking for accessible, no-frills massage services away from the larger resort spas. Treatments on offer include oil massage and foot massage, with reviewers highlighting the foot massage in particular as a satisfying way to recover after a long day of sightseeing. Pricing appears competitive, with promotional rates reported for one-hour sessions. The atmosphere is straightforward and focused on therapeutic benefit rather than luxury surroundings. Visitor experiences have been mixed, with some guests reporting outstanding satisfaction and others less so, suggesting that results can vary depending on the therapist and treatment chosen. Good to know: The venue can get busy, and some visitors have waited up to 30 minutes before being seen, so arriving with time to spare is advisable. Since opening hours are not listed online, calling ahead or visiting in person during standard daytime business hours is the safest approach. If you prefer lighter pressure during your treatment, communicating this clearly to your therapist at the start of the session is recommended.

Visitor Reviews
Highly recommended. We were so lucky we came at a time when there were slots. Opted for a 1-hour foot massage that was going at a promotional price of 250 Baht (originally 300 Baht). I was served by a very kind jovial lady who I think might have been the supervisor/boss of the establishment? She had a great sense of pride in running the business and was very humble and friendly. Although it was meant to be just a foot massage, towards the end we were also give an upper back and neck massage. After the session we were invited to have some hot tea and fruits. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing and I would definitely go back again!
Best Massage In Phuket old town… I took oil massage. 100% satisfied… I’ll be back again.
Good massage parlour near Emporium Mall Bangkok. . Getting foot massage done after a long hard day feels good. . Tell them to use little pressure as they simply put oil and massage the feet.
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.
