Experience the power of Traditional Thai Massage at ChabaPrai in Chiang Mai. Book now to enhance flexibility and relieve tension.
The same firm, full-body Thai massage, with your back worked using oil or balm — whichever you prefer. Ideal when tension sits in the back, neck and shoulders.
This is the same full-body Thai massage as our Traditional Thai Massage — the firm, rhythmic pressing and assisted stretching of traditional Thai technique — with one difference: your back is worked with oil or balm, whichever you prefer. We recommend it when tension sits mainly in your back, neck and shoulders, where a little oil or balm helps the therapist work those areas more smoothly. Our oils are home-made and absorb quickly, so you don't need to shower afterwards. Balm stays on the skin a little longer and some guests prefer to rinse it off — every room has a shower, so that is no problem. As with the dry version, you lie on a massage table and wear loose-fitting clothing, which we provide. Good to know: we advise against a firm Thai massage if you have high blood pressure, during menstruation, or shortly after surgery. During the first six months of pregnancy we don't give this massage, as it can be risky and pregnancy massage is not our area of expertise. Prefer a completely dry massage without oil?
