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

The upstairs location is more important than you might think. In most massage parlors in Hua Hin, you lie behind a window overlooking the traffic, but here you're on the first floor above the street, which offers significantly more privacy. The room is clean and well-designed, the massage tables are sturdy and don't wobble, and the therapists' expertise is immediately apparent.

Both the Thai deep tissue massage and the oil massage are praised, as are the shorter, targeted treatments for the feet, head, shoulders, and back. Book a 30-minute foot massage plus 30 minutes for shoulders and back if you want a quick recovery. Prices are higher than those of the city's cheaper establishments, which I think is reasonable given the quality offered. However, bargain hunters can find better deals elsewhere on Phet Kasem. A group of four arrived, paid, and then discovered that only two therapists were available. One of them had to speak with the receptionist while the other had to wait 25 minutes.
