Traditional Thai massage is quite unlike Western versions, involving
a combination of assisted stretching and acupressure, rather than
manipulation of muscles. Don't worry though, in busy Patong every
known variation of massage treatment is readily available at any
one of a hundred establishments. For the more cautious, a traditional
Thai massage is a straightforward and perfect way to freshen up
before a night out on the town, rejuvenate after a long journey,
or recover from the night before.
If you don't fancy the whole deal, try some foot reflexology treatment
- not for the ticklish - there are several centres where you can
get treatments that last an hour or so all around the Patong area.
Beachside it is even possible to have a massage, and although the
masseurs are not always highly trained, it is an inexpensive and
pleasantly relaxing experience. Other styles of massage are also
to be found - and as the number of spa and massage centres opening
around Patong increases, so too do the range of treatments available
- and the level of professionalism. Sports massage, Swedish massage,
herbal and steam baths, sauna and various local herbal beauty treatments
can be found. For those interested in a more "interactive"
and perhaps discreet massage, and depending on the type and location
of the establishment, a whole range of other "massage services"
can be provided. Christin Massage on Rat-U-Thit Road is one of the
larger such establishments, but visitors will have no difficulty
in locating many smaller massage parlours offering a very personal
service.
