Q: Do I need to bring anything specific for a Thai massage session?

No, most spas provide loose clothing. However, bringing your own modest attire or swimwear is helpful if you use spa facilities.

Q: Should I book my massage in advance or walk in?

For popular spots in Old City or Nimman, booking 1-2 days ahead is highly recommended to avoid long wait times.

Q: Is it normal for a Thai massage to be painful?

It involves deep stretching and pressure. It can be intense, so always communicate your comfort level to the therapist immediately.

Q: What is the difference between Thai massage and oil massage?

Thai massage is done on a mat with clothes on; oil massage is done on a bed with oils and focuses more on relaxation.

Q: Are massage shops in Chiang Mai tip-based?

Tipping is not mandatory but greatly appreciated. A small tip for your therapist is standard practice for good service.

Q: Can I get a massage if I have a minor injury or pregnancy?

Always inform the therapist first. Many spas offer specialized prenatal massage or gentle sessions for injuries.
