Massage In Hatyai

In Hatyai, one of the activities that you shouldn't miss is the thai massage. There are both traditional and body massage available, depending on your preference.

Traditional Massage
Basically there are three types of tradtional massages:

The Thai Massage
The massage starts from the feet up to the body. It is a form of passive yoga done with emphasis on the legs, taking them through a complete range of motion and working repeatedly on the energy lines of the legs in all positions. This can be very beneficial for people with low back problems and has a deeply grounding effect on most people. Price is about 240baht for 2 hours session.

The Oil Massage
It is a variation of the Thai Massage with its own characteristics. Done with baby or aroma oil, this massage helps the body to relax without the "pain" which is expected from the Thai Massage. You will feel warm and comfortable in your body after the oil massage. Price is about 350baht for 1 hour session.

The Foot Massage
Also known as foot reflexology, the massage forcuses on the sole of the feet. This is influenced by the Chinese, who believes that the foot is the "gateway" to every organ of the body and that Chinese Physicians can even cure illness by treating the feet. Moreover, the feet bear the weight of the whole body and by relaxing the soles of the feet, the whole body relaxes too. Price is about 200baht for 1 hour.

The standard full service provided by the ladies includes bathing you, a massage, foreplay and intercourse. The time limit is 2 hours. For those priced at 1650 baht, they will do the soapy body massage on an air-inflated rubber mattress in addition to the full service. Those at 1350 baht will only provide the standard full service. However if you like a lady at the 1350 baht range and want her to do this soapy body massage as well, you can always enquire from the captain there. These ladies are also available for booking to be your companion outside their working hours but you have to negotiate individually with them. The price is about 3500 baht for long-time booking (late morning till next day morning) and 2000 baht for short-time booking (which is from 12 midnight till 8 am). Recently, they have added another category where the girls are supposedly in the model category. The price is 1950baht

Chaophya 4

They are more expensive and usually cost about 2500 baht. For booking long time at Chaophya 4, price is about 3000baht and above (negotiable). If the massuer is not working, then they do not have to pay any "fines" to the company. Furthermore, as long as she have not "reported for work", she can go anywhere she wants with her customer.

Others
There are other lower end establishments like Cintana and Atami, where prices are about 500 to 600baht for an hour. Rooms at these two places are old in comparison to Pink Lady and Chao Phraya 4. For Cintana, intercourse can only be done at their rooms and not at your hotel room The booking of masseur for whole day for cintana is 4000 baht, which many considered too expensive, considering the quality and age of the girls there.

In all the body massage establishments, be prepared to pay 100baht or more if you are brought there by the tuk-tuk driver.
