Women’s Massage Center By Ex-Prisoner

Went for a 2hr massage: feet, back, neck, shoulders and a facial.. oh my lord these women are awesome! My girl got some amazing cracks and pops in my back that I was desperately needing after sleeping on a hard mattress for the last two weeks!! At the end of your session they provide you with some calming tea so you can sit back and relax and just people watch until you’re ready to leave!

Absolutely love this massage Centre. Not only is it a great place to come for a real Thai massage, it is doing good for the local community. The women here go on to become employed by hotels and massage centers in the area up on release. By having a massage here, you are contributing to sustainable travel initiatives, which are greatly needed in Chiang Mai. It’s an amazing massage come about 5pm though, when it’s not so busy!

This was a thing we kind of just walked into and really enjoyed. There was a language barrier but they women had great attitudes and were very nice! My girlfriend and I got the foot and upper body massage and they really went to town on us. It felt fantastic. The oils/creams they used smelt so nice and the place was very traditional looking. Would have went back if we stayed longer for sure. And you can’t go wrong with the prices

Best massage we have had so far in Chiang Mai . We had a foot and upper body massage ( with a bit of Thai massage and stretching mixed in) . It isn’t really private and you go into a room with about 15 other clients , so if you are after privacy this place isn’t for you.
We had no issues with it and cannot speak highly enough of the service we received from our masseuses . Lovely ladies 🙂 and very professional and friendly

We are here and the food was excellent
It’s location is perfect, slightly shady and you can watch the world go by
Guards and staff were very friendly.
I wish them every success and if or experience is anything to do but the ladies should do well

Well, I don’t like writing negative feedback but for this place I have to because it’s supposed to be one of the best place ever and we had a bad experience.
We litteraly had the worst massage since we arrived in Thailand. Maybe they are good in the traditional one but the oil massage was very disappointing. It was more like” a little bit over here, a little bit over there and that’s it, done!” Ladies were chatting, one of them left for more than 5 minutes in the middle, just to put music on. They were not focused, sometimes interrupted by someone else coming in the room. We had so much better massages in other places so far. Save your money.

Absolutely the worst experience and massage i I ever had. I don’t understand how this place is still in business… they are praying on a less experienced, typical Chinese tourists (place was packed by Chinese) and who don’t care about the quality at all. Here are some of the highlights:

– there is a one big room full of beds and the masseuses are talking to each other across the room and laughing. Cant relax at all. Feels like a conveyer belt massage where they don’t really care about the quality.

– the masseuses never touches your actual skin and puts on any oil. The whole massage is done through a cloth. Not comfortable at all!

– the masseuses have no experience at all, I believe they only hire ex-convicts and this being their marketing / sales point for a someone to brag “I had a massage by ex-convict”

– its more expensive than most, 250 baht for 1 hr massage. (200 baht is a norm in Chiang Mai)

Interesting place and happy to have contributed to this concept. In terms of massage, I believe is quite ok, nothing spectacular, I won’t say is the best place I’ve been since I live in Asia. The place is an open space, a bit hot and quite noisy, I am old school and prefer quite and intimate place to fully relax. If you are looking for a quite and fully intimate place to relax I won’t recommend.

My masseuse was absolutely amazing. She was perceptive and could tell when she needed to adjust the pressure based on my body language. My facial was also lovely and super relaxing.

Don’t hesitate to give this place one, two, three, four or even ten tries. You won’t regret it! Oh, and they give you lovely tea after your relaxing massage!

Very well priced – 400baht for 2 hours!! However the lady I had was clearly in training and at points didn’t seem to know what she was doing, although she did give me the most relaxing face massage I’ve ever had. I went to the original spa and thought it was okay – a bit of a meat market of people. The trend of ex-con female massage parlours seem to have spread across Chang Mai, which is great, and therefore I think for a little more money you could get better value.

Went in July 2018. Had a fairly good massage here. Took 1-hour Thai massage for 250B. Had to wait around 20min before served, fully booked. Anyway, it was worth the wait. As it happened, customer was all tourist. Don’t wear bulky clothing, and don’t bring big rucksack or shopping bags here. All belongings and clothes should go into a small locker, and you got the key to hold while being treated.
Communal room, no curtain. Mostly quiet ambience, the masseuses occasionally talked among each other but not much. But I had amusing scenes around me of the reactions of tourist being folded, twisted and yanked unexpectedly. Lots of omg, and ruder or ridiculous terms being used there 🙂 Everyone around including the masseuses were laughing good-naturedly on hearing every outburst. I did enjoy the friendly atmosphere. And no, there was not even one thing indicated that they were ex-prisoners. But the place could be very busy at certain times, so be prepared to wait, or have other place for alternative options, as in the similar place just across the street.
