There are so many choices available when you start looking for a little pampering while in Bangkok, it can be a little daunting deciding on which is the best treatment for you. While some of us like to revisit the same massage experience time and time again, others might prefer to try all the treatments available. We have tried and tested five of the most popular outcall massage services available in Bangkok which include traditional Thai, relaxing oil, coconut oil, aromatherapy, and Thai oil massage. Hopefully, our experience will help you decide which one to indulge in first or maybe entice you to try something different.

Keeping with tradition

Let’s start with the traditional Thai massage. This has to be one of the most well-known and widely offered massages available in Bangkok, but the difference lies in a professionally trained masseuse who specialises in true Thai massage. It is also known as “lazy yoga” due to the stretching, movements and positions your masseuse will guide your body into while you luxuriate in the instant relief your body will experience when those tense muscles loosen. Traditional Thai massage does not use oils and is undertaken fully clothed in loose-fitting light fabric which enables a full range of movement. If you are looking for a full mind, body, and soul experience, this is the massage for you.

The ultimate relaxation

Sometimes all you are looking for is a relaxing massage that does not involve your limbs being moved into different positions to stretch muscles. A relaxing oil massage will give you that tension release you seek through strong or gentle manipulation of your muscles. The amount of pressure applied is entirely up to you. As the name implies, you will be left feeling relaxed and uplifted by a relaxing oil massage. This is the type of massage you would typically have when treating yourself to a pamper day. A feel-good, indulgent massage that helps your circulation and relieves stress from those tense muscles.

The wonders of coconut oil

The healing and protective properties of a coconut oil massage will give you the same benefits as the relaxing oil massage with the added bonus of coconut oil. The coconut aroma will bring thoughts of sea breezes while your masseuse gently relieves your muscles of tension. Coconut oil is also beneficial for blood circulation and can improve the appearance of your skin. This is one of the more decadent massages that enriches your body from the outside while rebalancing and relaxing from the inside through careful muscle manipulation. A truly blissful experience that you will be happy you can continue to enjoy in your private accommodation once the massage therapist has left.

Deliciously scented massage

An aromatherapy massage is well known for its benefits to physiological and physical well-being. By using essential oils and other aromatic compounds, your masseuse will transport you to a place of absolute heaven. The natural oils massaged into your skin will leave it glistening while your olfactory senses are stimulated. One of the benefits of an outcall massage service is you can luxuriate in the oils and aromas long after your massage has ended. There is no rush to remove excess oils and get dressed. If you opt for this massage, take your time to make the most of the aromatherapy benefits. Coupled with the tender manipulation of your muscles, your body will be as relaxed as possible from an aromatherapy massage.

A new take on an old favourite

Finally, the Thai oil massage. You will still experience the benefits of a traditional Thai massage which are all-encompassing, however, incorporating oil into the process gives you that extra bit of relaxation and a feeling of decadence while the masseuse carefully glides their hands across your skin. There is something about oils in massage that brings it to a heightened level. If you want the full body benefits of Thai massage but also desire an extra level of pampering, this is the massage for you. It is the best of both worlds and an amazing take on the traditional version which is oil-free.

We trust this has given you an insight into the differences between the five most popular outcall massage treatments in Bangkok to make the right choice for you. Ultimately, every massage offers something different, however, the end result will always be a feeling of serenity, relaxation, and Zen. Particularly if you receive your services from a reputable, professional masseuse such as the treatments performed by the practitioners from Zen Massage Bangkok.

Luxury experiences in the privacy of your own home or hotel room are something that dreams are made of. We loved every massage listed above, but then again, who doesn’t love a good massage? Indulge yourself a little with a selection of outcall massage services that are beyond good! The benefits to your mind, body and soul will be nothing short of incredible.
