Thailand is known for its famous traditional Thai massages and there are a range of massage shops and spas in Chiang Mai. While it may seem ideal to splurge on a massage on the beach in the southern islands or retreat from Bangkok’s hot streets into a relaxing spa, one of the best places in the country to fully take advantage of the spa scene is in the northern town of Chiang Mai. Here, simple shops are set up alongside world-class spa centers and it seems like you can get a massage on practically every corner. You’re sure to find a massage or spa treatment to fit your budget and even splurge on several! With hour-long Thai massages starting at around 200 baht (about $6 USD), pampering yourself won’t break the bank. However, if you have some extra money, don’t hesitate to book a session at one of the region’s leading spas for a complete 5-star experience. Whatever you’re in the mood for, you’ll find it at one of the varied locations listed below.
