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

This is exactly the kind of massage parlor I would recommend to people who are fed up with beach spas that charge exorbitant prices for scented towels and a gong. Here, the focus is on the treatment itself: traditional Thai massage performed by experienced masseurs in an atmosphere entirely dedicated to well-being, not appearances.

The location is ideal. The hotel is situated on Thanon Phun Phon, so close to the old town that you can easily spend an afternoon strolling through the Sino-Portuguese shops and then stretch your legs. Phuket Town is quieter than Patong, and this hotel perfectly complements that pace.

The opening hours are the biggest advantage. It's open daily from 11 am to midnight, so you can feast your way through the night market and then grab a bite to eat. That's rare and worth planning ahead, especially if you arrive late or are returning from a day trip exhausted and sunburnt.
