Massage Corner
- Rating: 4.8

Massage Corner really stands out. It’s tucked away slightly off the main drag, offering a wonderfully serene and clean escape.
The therapists here are consistently praised for being highly professional and incredibly skilled, paying close attention even if you have specific issues like an old injury – they really listen. They add lovely little touches like welcome drinks and post-massage tea and cookies, making you feel genuinely cared for. The open-air foot massage area is a highlight, letting you relax surrounded by greenery. It’s not the absolute cheapest, but the overall quality and thoughtful service make it feel like excellent value. Plus, they take cards, which is always convenient.

Lazy Dayz Massage
- Rating: 4.8

Lazy Dayz offers a uniquely soothing vibe with its gentle music, refreshing scents, and those incredibly comfy lazyboy-style chairs – perfect for just sinking into relaxation. They stand out with special options like hemp seed oil massages, which some people really love for extra relaxation, and they even have cannabis products available.
The staff generally get good marks for friendliness. However, it’s worth noting that a few visitors mentioned inconsistencies; some found the massage just okay or noted minor hygiene concerns like therapists not washing hands between clients. While many have a great time, the experience might depend on the specific therapist you get that day. (125 words).Reviews

Wey Rich Thai Massage

- Recommended: Individuals seeking a high-quality, professional massage in a very clean, modern, and tranquil setting.
This place immediately impresses with its modern, spotlessly clean, and peaceful atmosphere. It genuinely feels calm the moment you step inside, a welcome escape from any street noise.
The therapists consistently get high praise for being super professional and truly skilled – delivering massages that feel both relaxing and effective, hitting just the right spots. It’s considered excellent value for the quality you receive. They offer thoughtful touches like complimentary tea afterwards. Just be aware if paying by card, there’s a 3% surcharge. One person mentioned the foot massage chairs weren’t the reclining type, which affected their relaxation, but overall, reviews highlight the top-notch, professional service in a serene environment.

Velar Massage
- Rating: 4.5
- Price: Moderate
- Recommended: Guests needing targeted massage therapy for specific ailments or injuries, though quality may be therapist-dependent. Caution advised due to mixed reviews.
Velar Massage presents a bit of a mixed bag, though many find it cozy with friendly staff. Its strength seems to lie in therapists skilled at addressing specific issues – think deep tissue work for old injuries or soothing aloe vera for sunburns; some call it the best massage they’ve had.
Therapists like Natalie and Fai receive specific praise. However, consistency appears to be a significant issue. Several reviews report poor experiences, citing lack of skill, poor service (particularly towards certain groups), and even alleged deceptive practices like making the shop look busier than it is. While some get exactly the targeted relief they need, others leave very disappointed. Approach with caution, knowing the experience can vary greatly. (138 words).Reviews

Kanok body health care กนก นวดเพื่อสุขภาพ
- Rating: 4.5
- Price: Fair / Moderate (potential for pricing disputes mentioned)
- Recommended: Those seeking a customizable massage or beauty treatments, but be aware of highly variable reviews on quality and professionalism.
Kanok offers a clean, newer space and stands out for its accommodating staff who listen to specific needs regarding pressure points or problem areas. They also provide a range of beauty services like facials, lashes, and manicures alongside massages.
However, experiences here seem incredibly polarized. Some rave it’s the best massage they’ve ever had, fixing long-term back pain. Others describe it as the worst, citing weak pressure, inexperienced staff, chaotic atmosphere, language barriers, and even pricing disputes after the service. While the option for customization and added beauty treatments is appealing, the stark contrast in reviews suggests quality and professionalism can be very inconsistent. Be prepared for potentially excellent or deeply disappointing service. (135 words).Reviews

The staff aren’t just friendly; they’re noted for being professional, having good English skills, and genuinely understanding the body’s needs.

Beyond standard massages, their body scrubs also get rave reviews.

Oasis Thai Relax offers a very welcoming and lovely atmosphere, with staff frequently described as friendly and professional. They provide standard options like traditional Thai and hot oil aroma massages in a clean setting, often at very reasonable prices like 299 baht.
Many customers have wonderful, relaxing experiences, praising the techniques and calling it one of the best they’ve had in Thailand, returning multiple times. However, there are a couple of concerning negative reviews mentioning feeling uncomfortable during the massage or receiving very poor quality service, suggesting some inconsistency. While most experiences seem positive and highlight the great service and good value, potential visitors should be aware of these isolated negative reports.Reviews

Oscar Thai Massage
- Rating: 4.4
- Price: Affordable / Good Value
- Recommended: Tourists nearby wanting friendly, affordable massages, okay with basic ambiance and potential therapist inconsistency.
Oscar Thai Massage has a super friendly vibe, with both the staff and owner getting lots of praise for being welcoming. It’s conveniently located near the Holiday Style Ao Nang Beach hotel.
Many guests rave about the skilled therapists, particularly mentioning their knowledge of acupressure points – some even called it the best massage ever! They offer more than just massages, with foot scrubs, facials, and hair braiding available too. The prices are really affordable, offering great value. However, the atmosphere is quite basic – think small, no AC, no music. There are also reports of inconsistency; some found therapists inexperienced, lacking pressure, or even distracted by their phones. So, while potentially fantastic, your experience might depend on the therapist you get.Reviews

Burin Thai Massage
- Rating: 4.6
- Price: Moderate (potentially higher without promotions)
- Recommended: Resort guests or visitors wanting a professional massage in a clean, modern setting, possibly with good deals.
Located right inside the Ananta Burin resort, this place offers a really clean and modern environment for a massage. It feels quite professional, and many guests have praised the experienced therapists for providing truly relaxing and effective massages, whether it’s Thai, aroma, or oil.
I especially liked their foot massage – it felt almost magical! They often run promotions like ‘buy 1 get 1 free’, which makes the value much better, as it can be a bit pricier otherwise. While most experiences seem positive, there have been a couple of odd reports, like a masseuse falling asleep or therapists being distracted. Generally, though, it’s a solid choice if you’re staying nearby or want that polished resort spa feel.Reviews
- Amazing massage experience! Super relaxing and professional in a clean, modern setting.
- My family loved the aroma oil massage; the ladies were really good. Very happy customers!

Ally Massage 3
- Rating: 4.3
- Price: Affordable
- Recommended: Budget-conscious visitors looking for friendly service and foot care, but okay with a busy vibe and varying quality.
This place definitely buzzes with energy! The staff are super friendly and welcoming right from the door, making you feel instantly comfortable. They offer a good range of services, including foot scrubs and pedicures, which is a nice bonus.
I’ve heard specific therapists like Kom and Aoun get great praise for their skills. It’s a very popular spot, so don’t expect a quiet, tranquil experience – it’s more lively. While many people rave about the great value and friendly atmosphere, some have mentioned that the massage quality can be inconsistent, sometimes feeling rushed or lacking pressure. There have also been rare mentions of being short-changed on time or even unprofessional behaviour, so it’s a bit of a gamble, but potentially rewarding for the price.Reviews
- My foot massage with Kom was fantastic! She was skilled and made me feel totally relaxed.
- Simply the best massage I’ve had in Thailand this trip, amazing value for money.
- Aoun gave a very strong foot massage, which was really helpful for my runner’s legs. Loved it!
