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'm not convinced yet. I had two massages at An Chi and by coincidence by the same person. The…read morerelaxation massage was a bit too meek for what I'm used to. The deep tissue massage was a bit better - just a bit. The place is clean, there's relaxation music, has a nice looking interior and it's reasonably priced. Maybe better next time with another massage therapist? What I also like about this place is that it's possible to book a massage online.

Whether you like this massage may depend on your personal preferences, but let me explain why I was…read moredisappointed. - The massage tables are separated only by curtains, so are not that private, and chatting in the back room is disturbing. - The massage tables do not have cutouts for when you are face down. - The massage style is very firm but with really fast strokes, which I find more painful than relaxing. - The massage giver seems friendly and well-meaning but speaks poor English; it's useless to explain changes you want or problems you have, so I absolutely discourage anyone with an injury from going. - These are not anatomy-trained therapists, and part of the practice puts awkward pressure on the spine and manual stretching to the neck that has the potential to do harm. + The oil with eucalyptus is nice. - The massage is relatively expensive for what you get (90 euro for 90 min, compared to less than 80 at other establishments with actual licensed massage therapists), and cash is required upfront, which is inconvenient and suspicious in the Netherlands. In all, too bad, since the location is so convenient.
