A healing hands massage by the sea

People visiting Pattaya can get massages that will take away aches and pains and leave their bodies feeling totally rejuvenated. Most of the major hotels and resorts have their own spa centres which provide massage services as part of their therapeutic treatments. There are also lots of parlours at the junction where Pattaya Tai (South Road) meets Beach Road as well as ones on side roads and small sois.

The massage parlours usually have boards outside them advertising the different massages on offer. Choices for traditional massages are usually standard body ones, oil massages, herbal massages and foot massages. Prices begin at around 150 Baht an hour.

Conventional massages focus on body pressure points to relieve stress and soothe fatigued muscles. Masseurs and masseuses offering herbal treatments often compress leaves in cotton gauze and apply them to parts of the body. A foot massage can leave feet feeling lighter than air and as though they have had knots and twists taken out of them.

Another option for a massage in Pattaya is to get one from the bevy of masseuses that walk along the beach every day. The last alternative for male visitors is one of the entertainment venues with attached massage parlours where adult-only treatments are offered.
