Zen Thai Massage

I came to this place for a Thai massage.
The service is very nice, starting from my reservation. If you use WhatsApp, add their number +852 5661 8550 and you can make your reservation using the app. Great for travelers who didn’t get a local SIM. When I walked in, the friendly receptionist gave me a pair of slippers (I don’t care for these disposable slippers, but that’s another story) and was led to the room to change into the Thai cotton outfit.
I booked a 90 traditional Thai massage. If you are not familiar with the style, it’s a little like acupressure, with a lot of pressing down motion instead of kneading and rubbing. What set it apart is how they twist and pull your limbs around, kind of like a lazy man’s version of yoga but also reminiscent of a school yard bullying. Not the type of massage where you can doze off. In fact, I suspect you need a masochistic streak to enjoy Thai massage. My masseuse, who is from Thailand, diligently worked on loosening my knots, and I had a good time. Well, as good a time as I can have with someone pulling my arms while stepping on my thigh…
The place is nicely decorated, in dark purple and mahogany. The doors are made with latticed wood that looks well worn in a nice, antique way, like they brought it in from some old houses. (you can see pics on their website) It really set me into a relaxed mood. When I finished my massage and walked back into the lobby, my pair of shoes are there, waiting for me already!
For my massage, the 90 min is $ 408 but they offer a first-​timer discount on ZoneOneZone, and I was able to get a discount rate of $ 376 just by mentioning it.
