I have tried all of the high-rated Thai Massage in the South Bay over the years and have chosen Arawan for my weekly massage because of their consistently high quality work and customer service. I have severe tightness on the right side of my body that require acupuncture and Thai massage weekly for the last dozen years. In my experience at Arawan, I have always been asked which area of the body to work more on, how much pressure to use, if the room temperature is comfortable and if there is "pain or tickle" when I experience sensitivity. It is incumbent on the customer to communicate for what they wish. Overall, the best Thai massage studio in the South Bay! read more

Used to be a good place but had the worst massage experience ever today. The masseuse was using very light pressure with her hands but super hard with her feet. Kept the room really cold with air conditioning. Somehow feeling a lot worse after the massage. Used to like this place. Such a shame! Want to add a little more detail here: The masseuse wanted to turn on the air conditioning saying it was too hot. So it didn't leave me much of an option. I did mention I wanted a little less than hard pressure even after that, the feet were very hard and by hand it was very light almost as if the masseuse had no interest in massaging. I did had to ask her to increase the pressure. There was no acknowledgment. Another thing I noticed was she seemed annoyed that I booked 2-hour sessions. Kept asking me multiple times if I booked a 2-hour session. I wanted to trust the process so I didn't want to keep asking for changes. read more

I've now been to Arawan twice - the first time for couples swedish massage which was wonderful and a second time for an office syndrome massage which was just okay. The couples massage was great! When we arrived, we were asked to fill out a questionnaire with a lot of detail around focus areas, spots to avoid, etc. I had specified relaxation with a little therapeutic massage, focus on back/shoulders, and moderate pressure usage. We really enjoyed the experience and both masseuses communicated throughout the experience regarding pressure, any pain points, and checking if we wanted a head massage prior to touching our hair with oiled hands. Note, the oil they use smells wonderful if you get a scented option but it is pretty thick so it does take some time to wash away- pick the lotion if you want something non heavy. The office massage was my second visit which i booked because of how much we liked the first appointment and I had some shoulder tension. This experience was very different. When I arrived I checked if I needed to fill out any forms like the previous visit. I was told that it was not needed as it wasn't my first visit. Knowing they were using the old forms potentially, I let the masseuse know as soon as she arrived that I would prefer lotion only instead of oil for this appointment. She promptly proceeded to apply oil to my back. When I reiterated lotion only please, she did not clear the oil but rather took additional lotion and mixed it all together. Also it seemed she was not aware of my preferences for moderate pressure from the questionnaire they said would be used from prior visits. The massage was actually slightly painful at certain points with heavy elbow usage until she heard me make a sound of discomfort. I will say she was good at pushing out certain knots in my shoulder blades with appropriate force but the pressure applied to my mid to lower back was not comfortable - especially given what massage preferences I had shared on the form originally. At the beginning of the visit, I was asked if I was okay with the masseuse walking on my back to which i had responded no. Despite this communication, she DID proceed to walk on my thighs and butt and tried to walk on my back until K had to stop her and reiterate no walking on my back. Lastly, without any communication, she proceeded to massage my hair with a combination of the oil and lotion she had used. Had she asked before initiating that, I would have said no. I actually walked away from the visit with some soreness on my lower back that was not present pre-appointment. I'd be open to revisit this spot in the future again but it may be a while before that happens due to my latest experience. I really enjoyed my first visit and experience but the second visit was not at all what was expected and the communication was not there. Cost wise, they are exactly the right price point but the experience can vary. I would say it's a hit or miss depending on the masseuse you are assigned. read more

Paula did a wonderful job. She was patient, sttong and was wonderful The rooms are all clean and quiet and peaceful read more

Although the website advertises $93, they charged me $99, plus a minimum 17% tip. The massage itself was horrible. Halfway through the massager leaves the room without a word and is gone for several minutes while I wait in confusion. Then the lights come on and she brings her boss in. "Do you have an allergy?" the boss asks. I don't know, I said. "Your back looks really red." I don't know what she's doing and I can't see. I am not a massage therapist and don't know what she did since my eyes were closed and I was not in the mood for a "performance" during the massage. These massage therapists have a responsibility to ensure they are not using harmful lotions or harmful techniques. I am not a licensed massage therapist and should not be tasked with another responsibility during the massage. I have enough stress in my life already. This totally ruined the vibe and the massage was so horrible it should have been free. Don't go there, they don't know what they're doing and will damage your skin. read more

Wow!!! Thanks to Patty for the heavenly massage. All of my aches and pains gone like they never existed. My whole back was covered with knots that with any other massage spa that I visited couldn't help resolve my aches and pains. I highly recommend Patty, she will most definitely help you get back to doing whatever you like to do in your every day life. 10 Stars read more

Hands down the best Thai massage in the Bay Area. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you for taking care of us! In Arawan we trust.

Amazing! This was my first real professional massage and it was so greater than my expectations. I have extremely tight and knotted shoulders/neck/back, and I can easily tolerate a high level of pressure I've been apprehensive to try any purchased massages because I felt like they often cater more to relaxation and soothing than for intense treatment. So glad this experience lived up to what I wanted! Nita, my therapist, used a great and perfect amount of pressure and truly honed in on my problem areas while making smooth transitions and intervals to balance the intensity and work out my tension. I absolutely plan to go back and book with her. I had a deep tissue massage and listed my ideal pressure level as mid high to high at my check in. I'm sure they can accommodate all levels of need and tolerance also. read more

Amazing massage therapists that can get deep in the muscles. Not to mention thai massage which is phenomenal in releasing tension in your back. I love coming here. It's so quiet, peaceful and such a relaxing experience. The therapists are fantastic and the massage always leaves me feeling less stressed! read more

Cute little place. I asked for Swedish and received a sort of mix of treatment styles. There was aromatherapy and hot stones and some deep tissue work but in the end I felt super relaxed and loose afterwards so mission accomplished. It was a little bright in the room for me and unfortunately, It was a little bit difficult to communicate with my therapist because her English wasn't the best but at the end of the day I received a very relaxing massage so it was successful. read more

Took out my sciatica and lower back pain. Hitting the pressure points precisely and the pain was gone. Amazing masseuse and I feel much better, before I would start to feel the pain from just sitting around. read more

EZ online booking option or calling the receptionist, the team here made my last minute combo traditional thai massage 5 Full, well-deserved stars. WOW! (I give permission for back walking and stretching & head massage or whatever they feel is needed) Nancy, thank you! Huge shout to you, Amazing!! 5 stars I am so fortunate for Friday's impulsive massage booking when I knew I needed a professional to straighten me out.. ever since my favorite Chiropractor retired! Dr Silver, and now if I run into Him I will be happy to announce I finally hit the recovery healing pinnacle! Thank you for your care in getting deep into my neck knot and ever gentle in other moments for serious deep relaxation. Best out of pocket self care or simple midlife maintenance or luxury splurge I've decided that however I choose to rationalize my visits here, i am worth the precision, professional, physical expertise, even for an hour, really helps me Reset my Mind at the same as my muscles. Actually, priceless time to me - currency well Spent. I do my part to breathe long and steady throughout, replaying any clumsy recent bumps or falls that could have thrown me off my balance... the next day... with a lot of "weekend relax mode" i stretched deeply as Nancy stretched my neck and AHA! A crystal clear POP moment of Full neck release from the original Bike fall accident 1year ago! !! And two more hidden knots next to it released. I just loved how I know exactly what she did by starting with the full Body release points. The stretching was phenomenal! And I'm Hyper mobile so it was out-of-this-world for me, like eyeballs out of their stress sockets stretch type :D I want to thank you for being the last healer prior to the freedom I now feel to incorporate a daily stretch and exercise routine. It was your kind way how you suggested it will help, but to always be sure to stretch. Many blessings to you miracle workers, i just love how all my experiences here top the last one!! Highly recommend combo thai massage and if you can trust (& speak up on your preferred pressure), they won't break you. 60 minutes full traditional combo a main focus on my upper shoulders and neck and stretching with intense thai body magic. Your traditional ways and professional massage therapist healers are beyond words and stars (& I'm trying as a "words girl." Cash is always King for tips and cc check out is easy, no fuss. Love this place and love gifting GCs from here too! See you for my first 90, next time! read more

Personally, I'm a big fan of massage places that ask you to fill out a form to better understand what kind of massage you're looking for and areas to focus/avoid. Overall it was great, came in wanting a Thai massage and that was the service received. read more

I've been here several times before. My previous experiences weren't amazing, but they were acceptable. However, today was very disappointing. I had this time was a Vietnamese woman, and unfortunately, she did a very poor job. I booked a 90-minute massage and specifically asked to focus on my neck and shoulders. Instead, she spent most of the time on my back, arms, and legs, and only a very small portion on my neck and shoulders. Halfway through, she asked me to turn over and asked if I wanted a head massage. I said yes, but it didn't feel like she had any real technique. She just rubbed my head and stroked my hair for a long time, which became uncomfortable. When I frowned, she asked if I wanted her to focus somewhere else, but even then, the massage felt rushed and careless. Near the end of the session, she stopped early and told me the time was done, while the therapist working on my husband was still continuing. It was awkward, and she even told my husband "thank you, you're done," which surprised both of us. Overall, it was a very bad experience. read more

Absolutely recommend!! I don't know what kind of protein shake she's taking or what workout plan she's got going on but Nancy got some strength. She knows how to find every pinch nerve, every tangled knot, and every lower back ache just to relax them out. I came out a new woman. Coming back ASAP. read more

I don't have words to explain how AMAZING this experience was ! I came in with tired legs and extreme pain in my feet , I left with no pain , left extremely relaxed . Lily took care of me and did a PHENOMENAL JOB , I loved it ! You guys are the best . I recommend to everyone. Make sure you guys choose the correct massage , since they have different types. read more

Aches and pains?! Look no further. Thai/Swedish massage has truly changed my body and life. I come to Lily every 3 weeks to work on my crunchy body. Lily is the best, I feel like a brand new person afterwards. I usually get a 90 minute combo massage. I've also had Patty and Kim work on me, also outstanding. I'll be a life time client as long as they are here :). read more

Booked a 60 min couples massage for me and my boyfriend and it was amazing! They really made us feel relaxed and we both felt better aligned in her backs. They offer tea and water while you wait or after your massage. The room is dark with calming music. I highly recommend! I definitely want to go back for a solo 90 min massage! read more

I have been looking for a traditional Thai massage place since I moved to Saratoga. The website provided details on their Thai massage services so I gave it a try. I should have pushed back when the lady told me to undress and get under the sheet on the massage table. The deep tissue massage was ok, not great. After the massage I went back to the lady at the front counter and asked her if there was a mix up- do you offer Thai massage on a mat to which she responded "no we don't do that". I have never seen this before... a Thai massage establishment that doesn't do Thai massage? read more

Such a great experience, the woman who greeted me and did my massage was so nice. The massage was super relaxing and therapeutic. The inside environment is inviting and serene. 10/10! read more

Patty is amazing! She really got into the areas requested. She helped me reset and get back to myself. Thank you for taking me in!

I have been to several places and found Arawan to have everything I value: the atmosphere is calming, clean and people are courteous. Most importantly, my body feels amazing after a deep tissue, combination massage with Lily. Lily understands how to work with all body types and applies the right amount of pressure to help relieve aches and pains I didn't even know I had. Lily is passionate about her work and highly skilled - you can feel this through her hands. I also treated my mom to a massage and she loved it, everyone treated mom with care and made sure she had a positive experience, thanks Arawan! read more

Amazing customer service, clean, budget friendly and my go to place for a Thai massage! I always add on the hot stone treatment

We just came back from a 90 minute couples massage and both thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Shop itself is clean and decorated very appropriately. The room we were placed in was well kept. Beds are heated!! My masseuse was Pookie; husband's was Lily. We loved both! I highly recommend Pookie for deep tissue therapy. She's relentless at working through your concern area(s). I feel like she's done a better job at trying to unknot my shoulders than others have in the past. I'm committed to going back to her to really get through the area. Loved our first experience with them so much that we bought a 10+1 package deal on spot. Obviously, we will be back! There's a sale now, so I suggest you try them as well. Text their number to book. That's what I did. read more

The best deep tissue massage at an affordable price!! I always ask for Lily. She's the best!

Great massages!!! Love this place I have gone her quite a few times and everyone so far has been great!

I have returned to Arawan Thai Massage several times and had the opportunity to work with a few different therapists. They were all great. Yesterday, Patti worked on my back, which is usually like concrete, and a sore hip. I feel so much better! I never thought I would let someone massage me with their feet, but Patti found all the right points with her feet, her elbows, her knees, and her hands. Today I woke up without the niggling pain and stress I usually feel in my back and shoulders. Check it out -- it is a great place and everyone is really helpful. read more

Massage was good. Nice, firm pressure. Didn't like that the therapist stepped out of the room three times during my service. Have never had that happen at other massage places. Seemed to interrupt the flow of the service. read more
