Chiang Mai Guides
Massage & Spa
A Thai massage is practically a daily ritual here — and at Chiang Mai prices, you can make it one. From feel-good street-side studios to serene spa retreats, here's where we send our guests.
Lila Thai Massage
A wonderful social enterprise: Lila employs and retrains former female inmates from Chiang Mai’s correctional facility, giving them a livelihood after release. The massages are excellent and the prices fair — and you can feel good about where your money goes.
Oasis Spa
A polished, resort-style spa group for when you want the full pampering experience — garden villas, signature oils and four-hands massage. The Lanna branch near the Old City is gorgeous.
Makkha Health & Spa
Great value for a more complete wellness session — Thai massage, herbal compress, steam and small pool. Friendly, unpretentious and popular with returning visitors.
Ban Hom Samunphrai
A traditional herbal-medicine house run by a renowned local healer, set in a peaceful garden. The herbal steam sauna and authentic Thai massage are the real thing — worth the short trip for the curious.
Zira Spa
A stylish, central spa in a restored building near Tha Phae Gate, blending Thai techniques with a contemporary feel. A reliable, easy choice when you’re staying in the Old City.
Good to know: ฿ is a quick neighbourhood massage, ฿฿฿ a full spa experience. A one-hour Thai massage typically runs ฿250–400; spa packages more. Tipping ฿50–100 is kind and appreciated. For spas, message ahead — the good ones fill up.
