For Traditional Thai Yoga Massage, wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for stretching. For oil-based massages like Thai Swedish, you will be properly draped with sheets. We provide a relaxing environment for all massage types.

How much should I tip my massage therapist?

What is the difference between Thai massage and regular massage?

Thai massage is an ancient healing practice that combines acupressure, stretching, and yoga-like movements. Unlike Swedish massage, traditional Thai massage is performed on a floor mat with the client fully clothed. Thai Swedish massage combines both techniques with oil for a unique experience.
