Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Make a reservation in advance. That's my first tip, because a restaurant on Nantaram Road that's open daily until 10 pm is quickly fully booked in the evenings, especially during the cooler months when Chiang Mai is most crowded.

Here you can expect a classic Thai massage with the correct stretching and pressure techniques, complemented by other wellness treatments. Its location near the old town makes it easy to combine an appointment with a temple visit. I recommend late afternoon, after a relaxing stroll and before dinner. Since the studio closes at 10 pm, a visit after an evening out is also perfectly possible. Wear comfortable clothing that you can easily change into. Massage clothes are provided at such establishments anyway.

Prices aren't listed in the advertisement. If budget is a concern, it's best to call ahead or check the website. The staff consists of trained therapists who work to a consistent standard – not a spa that chases fleeting trends. Just what you need if your back is fed up with uncomfortable hotel mattresses.
