After living in Thailand for three years, I’ve learned that a good Foot Massage is one of the best ways to unwind after a day of exploring. Especially up here in Chiang Rai, there are so many amazing spots to choose from! It can be a bit overwhelming, right?
Don’t worry, I’ve done the legwork (pun intended!) to find the truly great places. This list focuses on shops with consistently positive feedback – every place mentioned has over 50 reviews, known for great quality and giving you that ahh-mazing feeling of relaxation. Get ready to treat your feet to some fantastic value!
If you’re heading south, I also put together a guide for Bangkok. Check out the 10 Best Foot Massage Shops in Bangkok here.
Naraya Massage&Relax Chiangrai
- Rating: 4.1
- Price: Budget-friendly (around 250 THB/hour)
- Recommended: Visitors seeking a convenient, affordable massage near the night market, accepting some variability.
Okay, so Naraya is super handy with its spot right by the night market, making it easy to pop in after shopping. It’s definitely easy on the wallet, which is a big plus.
The experiences here seem to be a bit of a mixed bag, though. Some people rave about getting an absolutely fantastic foot or neck massage, feeling totally relaxed afterwards. Others mentioned the massage felt a bit rushed or wasn’t quite what they expected in terms of consistency. The staff are usually friendly, and it’s helpful that they can manage some English and Chinese. It’s a decent option if location and price are your top priorities, just know the quality can vary sometimes.Reviews

Cho Kaew seems like a solid choice if you’re after a really effective foot massage. People often mention how amazing and strong the massages are here, leaving them feeling completely refreshed and renewed – like getting a proper reset! It sounds like they really know how to deliver a firm touch.
Plus, getting a little extra neck and shoulder work and some tea included is a lovely bonus. The atmosphere is described as quiet and the staff polite, which adds to the relaxing experience.

Chiangrai massage

- Recommended: Those who love a strong, deep massage and want great value.
If you’re someone who really likes a massage with serious power, Chiangrai Massage sounds like the place to go. It’s frequently praised for its strong, deep, and thorough Thai and sports massages.
The therapists seem skilled at listening to what you need and are effective at really getting into tight muscles – perfect if you’ve got knots you want worked out! It’s noted as being clean and the price is incredibly reasonable, offering fantastic value. Be prepared for potentially intense pressure, though; this isn’t the spot for a light, gentle rub. While most reviews are great, a couple mentioned less positive experiences, but overall it seems a top choice for a powerful massage.Reviews

- Price: Budget-friendly
- Recommended: Travellers looking for an effective massage at a very low price, accepting potential staff inconsistencies.
This spot gets high marks for delivering phenomenal and thorough massages, especially Thai and foot styles, at a price that’s hard to beat. People mention feeling genuinely rejuvenated afterwards, noting that the masseuses are really attentive to sore spots and provide a professional treatment overall.
It seems like you get excellent value here if you’re focused purely on the quality of the massage itself. However, it’s worth noting that a few reviews mentioned some unprofessional behavior from staff, suggesting interactions might be a bit hit-or-miss sometimes. If a super affordable and effective massage is your main goal, this could be a great budget find.Reviews

The staff are described as friendly and intuitive, really knowing how to work on problem areas.
While the place itself might look a bit simple or unassuming, the quality of the massage itself gets top marks. It’s a fantastic option if your priority is getting a truly effective, powerful treatment from a local family business at a great cheap price, rather than a spa-like atmosphere.Reviews
