This was one of the funniest massage experiences I've ever had. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad…read morein any way. In fact, I feel as though I got two for the price of one - entertainment and a massage, for one low price. Following a recommendation from a colleague, a friend and I headed along to Sangs Thai Massage on Darling Street for an hour long massage. Told we could have 60 minutes for $60, filling those 60 minutes how we liked, we decided to fill our time slot with 30 minutes of back, neck & shoulder and 30 minutes of reflexology. When we walked through the jangling door of the shop, the staff abruptly ceased their conversation, staring blankly at us as we returned their blank looks, feeling as though we'd somehow ended up in the wrong place & were rudely interrupting. After a humorously long silence, we made our request, only to be interrupted midway through our sentence by the lady at the counter handing us their list of prices. Stuttering a little from the interruption, we asked again for what was recommended, despite it not being on the list. This was followed by extended conversation (in Thai) between four different staff members, during which my friend and I stood awkwardly at the door. After what seemed an extremely lengthy time, we received the nod and were both ushered into the same room and were told to strip down to the loose pants they handed us. From here on in, things got better. The massage was strong, performed by a mass of elbows and knees, my strong masseuse kneeling and walking over my back, legs and arms like a cat pawing at a couch. Whilst we ended up with full body massages as opposed to the back neck and shoulder we'd requested, the massage was firm and satisfying. Moved out to the front of the shop for the reflexology part of the massage, our feet were rubbed with tiger balm as we sipped on our tea and watched Deal or No Deal over the chattering of our masseuses. If you don't have a tv at home you can catch the news and get a massage at once at Sangs Thai. If this isn't a draw card for you, then the massage in itself is worth going for. They also do hot stone massage, acupuncture and sports massage.

Only the owner is a qualified massage therapist. I asked for an oil massage and no hot stones. The…read moremassage was conducted by another employee with very poor technique and clearly no training. When I asked her this later she confirmed this to be true. It was not relaxing in the slightest. When the rock was simlply being dragged across my back that I did not request, I asked to end the massage as it was not good at all and in fact making me tense. Especially when she squeezed my neck rather than massaged it. I would have been massaged for 15 mins tops and they had the audacity after explaining my disappointment to want to then charge me $62!!! We settled on $42 but I should have simply walked out and refused. I will be reporting this business to the Australian Association of Massage Therapist and recommend you use a reputable local business like Healthspace or Endota spa.

The standard price is $1 per minute and that is a bit expensive to have all the time. Tiya's in Coogee offer 10 minute neck and shoulder massages for $10, which even though is obviously not as satisfying as an hour massage, it still is relaxing. 10 minutes is all you really need to take the edge off the tension. It's a really good idea, that I can certainly afford to do on a regular basis and then once and a while I can have the hour massage. And Tiya's 10 minute massages really are good, it certainly left me feeling less stressed.

Firstly i will say i am a Remedial Masseur, i found this shop close too where i am staying, but as…read morethe location is on the main road, and close too a roundabout, and its a truck loading zone as 3 trucks stopped and parked in the 1 hour of my visit. If you can unwind then great - but not for me. There was ambience music, and a water fountain but it still was not loud enough. THE MASSAGE - i chose the oil massage 1 hour, i found it was a blend of swedish - relaxation - traditional. There were no pressure points, or accupressure realeas points touched, which is strange for a thai massage. I say traditional massage - which means its taught usually from elder too younger, and not certified, the oil massage cost $80.00. Too sum up, for the price, the noise, the use of elbows, the direct pressure on the spine, and i wish people would write a decent review, without growing attachments, because they want too be polite, sorry too say but i wont be returning

I had never had a professional massage before but decided to give it a try after I strained my shoulder whilst training. I got a fantastic massage from Natalie who rubbed away my stiffness and soreness. Now, my shoulder wasn't magically repaired but it did feel a lot better. I was able to move it more freely with less pain. I had no idea what a professional massage was like but after this experience I have been back many times. I would recommend this place to anyone who has a sports injury or just wants some relaxation.

I purchased 2 x 1 hour long deep tissue massage vouchers for $200. My friend used the 1st voucher and they only massaged for 40 minutes. The 2nd voucher was a week out of date (because they failed to mention it was only valid for 6 months) and charged her after the lady on the phone said it was fine to use when i booked. They also make you pay in advance, which always makes me suspect. Why should I have to pay before receiving my service? This massage also was only done for 40 minutes. Absolutely disgraceful. Also they were talking thai to eachother the whole time and laughing. We've all been there. You know they're talking about you. Appalling customer service. No one there speaks fluent English. So if you need to ask questions. Don't bother. Well they appear to pick and chose when and what they understand. Plus they had no skill in the massage. She kept massaging my bones even after I told her where to do it. Save your money and sanity. GO ELSEWHERE. Shame on you Paradise Thai Massage. You've lost our business.

We started here first & were greeted by friendly staff & the place was very clean & tidy.. We had the full body massage with foot soak & massage too.. Well OMG that was the best quiet time i've had in years. We started with the foot soak & massage.. It was THE BEST, we actually fell asleep from being so relaxed!!! Then the full body massage was next & it was absolutley heavenly... We walked out feeling so sleepy & all relaxed & no tension in our feet & shoulders anymore was a great feeliing.. I really do recommend this amazing small business.. I'm in Sydney a few times a year & will defintatley make it a regular stop...

I called and made an appointment and when I showed up I was taken into a room right away. The massage was good and I decided to get in a short foot massage too. The foot massage was good but I could have gone a longer on that. Maybe next time! I found the place clean and the workers friendly. The only thing I found I didn't like was how the room drapes didn't close all the way. We were in a mall and even though the massage rooms are on the side of the foot massage area there is a big enough gap that made me feel a little uncomfortable. I paid $108.00 for both the body and foot massage. I would recommend this place for a fast and simple massage. This is not a spa like massage if your wondering, but in a pinch its a great place to go.

Last week went for a massage with a Korean lady called Hana (Hannah) and the massage was so rough and hard she had no idea on how to read a customer. The massage was so hard that I was moving and jumping that she did not even ask if I was ok or if it was too hard so the massage could be adjusted. I complained to the reception and all they could do is appologise. Even the extra service she became tired and complained her arms where getting sore and in the end gave up and said time is up. Then here's the catch, don't pay by card, they slap on a 10% surcharge. I wanted my comlaint to be escalated and all they said was they are sorry and accept the feedback and Jacob the manager would return a call to me. To this day almost a week after no return call. The massage itself was so hard that I ended up with buising for days. Avoid this business, they do not care about customer service, and it appears it's about money more than professionlism.

Once you climb the stairs they've really done a great job fitting the place out. The music, smells, decor etc is just like a nice massage place in Thailand. Both my wife and I had a great massage - (they have single and couple rooms). When the hour is up they give you a nice hot tea as well. They also give you a receipt for a health fund rebate which makes them even more affordable. At the moment its probably the best value massage in the area.

The massage itself the first few times was great, the masseuses were attentive, listened to exactly how I preferred my massages & tended to tight areas without instruction. However today was ok, not the best but passable. So why am I giving them two stars? It's the after service, when I came to pay the bill on previous occasions they always gave me a receipt to claim back the massage on my health fund but this time explained to me that health funds are becoming strict & only certain massage can be claimed. This wasn't the problem, it was more so how it was delivered to me, completely lacked any tack and being a regular customer I felt completely jilted. The experience made me feel cheap & I was fine with no receipt to claim back if that's the rules but the passive aggressive nature of the conversation just lost them a valued customer.
