The fact that I could get an appointment immediately was fantastic. The lobby area was small but…read morewell appointed with seating and well staffed. I was greeted warmly and my coat and shoes were collected. I was led back to a small partitioned room where the masseuse instructed me to undress and hang up my clothes. She gave me a few moments and stepped back in to provide the best massage that I've had in my life. She took instruction well, paying particular attention to areas of sensitivity and pain. She avoided areas that I asked and checked in often to ensure that I was comfortable. Care was taken to avoid getting oil in my hair. I appreciate that very much. The cost was reasonable and the facilities were very well maintained. My only issue was with the constant chatter from another area. It was difficult to relax with the noise from the other guests but that may just be something to which I need to adjust.

I've been going to Bangkok Wellness & Spa for about three years now. They offer traditional Thai…read moremassage as well as a general relaxing massage ("ontspannen"). I always get the Thai massage, while The Wife gets the relaxing massage. The Thai massage is authentic and perfect for deep tissue work. The Wife says the masseuses are flexible and willing to work on, for example, just your shoulder if that's what's bothering you. The prices are very reasonable for their high level of service. The decor is traditional and comfortable. (always check for a picture of either the King or Rama V; both are good signs, but if you get Rama V you know the place is Old School whether it's a massage spa or a restaurant). The ambience is quiet, as you'd expect, and the personnel are very friendly. For anyone not familiar with Thai massage, Bangkok Wellness is fairly typical. You come in, remove your coat and shoes, then they take you to a long row of massage platforms all curtained off from each other for privacy. You change into a variant of Thai fishermans' pants (they got rid of the traditional ones and replaced them with ones with elastic; real fishermans' pants can be a bit challenging to put on if you're not used to it.) They wash your feat, then generally you'll have an hour long massage that will include not just massaging, but also pulling and pushing muscles. It can be intense, but they will always ask if it's too hard or painful, so don't be afraid to let your masseuse know if it's not comfortable. Afterward they will offer you tea or water and as you recuperate in the lounge for a while. They have a great location right in the center of town that fits in perfectly with a day of shopping in Haarlem. Definitely call first for a reservation as they are usually busy.

I had already been looking for a while for a masseuse with a therapeutic background. Then I found…read morethe facebook of Helena Sita through Google and I saw she also had a professional looking website, so I decided to contact her to see if she had time for me to give me an elaborate massage. I spoke with her, she was very friendly and immediately gave me a good feeling so we made an appointment for a 90 minute ayurvedic massage, which I can definitely recommend if you need a massage for relaxation and ease of mind. We already planned a next massage for next month.

They sell essential oils, scrubs and bombs there are really nice and they also sell salts for in the bath! They also sell a bunch of gadgets for massaging yourself at home. This was the second massage I ever had and my first time at doctor feelgood. While I was waiting a guy came out of the room and he was being massaged by Vera, and he was shouting about how much she had fixed him, so I thought I'm in for a treat maybe? Maybe she can fix my back too I was asked to fill a massage form, and I had to tell a little bit about myself and also mark on a picture the places that I had pain and the sensitive areas. I could also choose the pressure of the massage and some other things. They have endless options of types of massages and levels of professionals and duration. I had a top therapist massage with Vera of 45 mins. It was a custom massage fit to my needs. I chose for it to be very calming and soothing and medium pressure, which I regretted later because the massage therapist was so gentle that it didn't hurt at all. I was a bit traumatised by the other massage that I had at another place, so I asked her multiple times to go easy on me. I could totally maybe even go through her Deep tissue massage, because she knew what she was doing, she was very gentle and so calming. She didn't push any boundaries. She really is the most calm person I ever met. She made me feel very comfortable and they take your privacy very seriously. So if you're concerned about taking off your clothes and people seeing too much of you, you don't have to. Even when I had to roll around she covered me with the towel. The rooms are perfect, they are dark and the music is also on point. I find that sometimes people put calming music that they think will be calmingbut it usually just stresses me even more (like those with someone singing "ooowwwooOOooooo" crazy!) I had a great experience. I literally fell asleep and I am a "forever stressed" kind of person. When I got there it was pouring rain and I was so wet and I was a bit stressed already, Vera just took all my problems away with her kind touch. After my massage I had no pressure at all to get dressed and get out, and then I could just had a cup of tea but I chose to buy one coconut water bottle from their fridge. I will take the tea next time though. It's a great location and they have crazy opening hours like someone previously stated here, so you can just get a massage whenever you want. I will definitely be going back.

Once we moved to Amsteram we started to look for a nice place where we could get a massage on regular basis. After nine months of trials and errors we found Sala Thai Wellness which is a place where we already visit for last half a year. Massages are good and you dont have impression that a person just does it for the first time in a life. Nevetheless, it is important to note that ladies who do a massage are changing ( working in shifts?) and not of them are equally good. What makes me feel really greatful to Sal Thai Wellness is that a pain in my lower back completly disappeared (and i was already struggling with it for some years). Remember abou asking for loyality card- you take 10 massages, 11th is cor free.
