Very relaxing. Be careful not to fall asleep and start snoring and drooling!! haha. Good service

I've been going here for years. Penny is absolutley amazing! I get deep tissue with her and feel so much better after. I just wish they would have heated beds. I find myself getting cold during a message and would love to feel warmer. read more

I've had a twisted feeling back for a few days. t my sons insistence, I made an appointment at Pairin. I'm so happy they were able to see me. This is a very relaxing and charming message studio. I started feeling better just to be in the cooling relaxing waiting room. Everyone is incredibly gracious and warm. Cathy gave me a relaxing and therapeutic message. I might have dozed off. I had a one house message and it seems to have really helped my back. When I walked in, I could barely walk. My back feels a million times better. I'm planning on going back on a regular basis. Highly recommend Cathy. Thank you so much! read more

Unprofessional scheduling I booked the night before for the couple's room for 6PM the next day. In the morning they moved my time slot to 6:15PM (I was notified via text message from the booking website). Then it was moved back to 6PM (again notified through the booking website). Later in the day around 1PM they called asking us to move to 5:45PM. I was accommodating because I understood that I booked at short notice. Then 1 hour before the appointment at 4:50PM they told me that the couple's room is unavailable and we would have to get separate rooms. We specifically wanted the couples room so it's unfortunate that we can't even find an alternative now. read more

Another successful massage! This time I opted for the Swedish massage. I told them ahead of time the area of focus and she did a great job attending to my needs. I walked out with much less pressure on my back and shoulders. My massage started a few minutes behind my scheduled time but they still stuck to my 1 hour appointment and didn't shave off even a minute of my time. read more

Pairin Thai Massage - Massage Near Me - San Jose, California

This is hands down my favorite Thai massage place. I've been coming here for a while and it never disappoints. Anna and Lucky are the best! They're both so good at what they do and always know exactly where I'm sore and how much pressure I need. I always leave feeling super relaxed and way better than when I came in. The place itself is really calm and cozy -- soft music, chill lighting, and always clean. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and everything just feels easy and comfortable from start to finish. I always walk out feeling better than when I walked in. If you're looking for a place to truly relax and treat yourself, I highly recommend this spot. read more

This has been my go-to massage place for the last 3-4 years and I have enjoyed every single massage I have gotten here. I originally found this place through Yelp (of course) and since it was local to where I was living, I decided to give it a try. It was fantastic and I keep going back! Over the years, I have gotten massages from several of the masseuses here and have enjoyed them all. I always come out relaxed and sleepy afterwards... The soft music, dim lights and great pressure from the masseuse all work together to put me into a calm, serene state. I often find myself drifting and letting go of all my thoughts. I usually go for the swedish massage with aroma therapy, but have tried the Thai and combo massages as well. All are great and you can't go wrong - it just depends on what you're looking for. The front reception is always friendly and you get convenient text messages to remind you of your appt. The decor is cute and everything is well taken care of. Additionally, Pairin offers package deals so you can splurge and treat yourself on a routine basis without breaking the bank every time. read more

I was disappointed of the massage today with Rita. I booked 90 mins Thai oil massage. During the 90 mins, she only did 15 mins massage. She was using phone while massaging me. I even feel she was texting. I complained to the front desk. He said she was ordering her foods. AND THAT IS IT. No apology. I was required to tip her too. I was regular client here and always recommend people this place. But I won't do anymore. read more

This review is for Lucky - one of the best masseuses I've ever worked with. I've probably had at least a hundred deep tissue thai massages by now (my body hurts okay) and Lucky, by far, has the most unique and thorough techniques I've experienced. She massaged parts of my body that I never even knew were tight but the tension she released was unimaginable. Every single knot unwound and released, I walked out of there feeling like I legit got a new body. Not to sound weird, but she was so skilled in her craft that it even felt somewhat spiritual? Lol Tal at the front desk is also incredibly helpful and was kind enough to discount my massage after having my appointment pushed back. Definitely will be back, thanks for the epic massages read more

I don't get massages very often so it always feels a bit awkward. Front staff was nice, offered helpful recommendations. Massage was professional and overall great. I will be coming back! Parking is a bit cramped. read more

I am a repeat customer at Pairin Thai massage. They have a great staff that works here who knows how to use their hands, feet and elbows to help remove all the tension from my body. I feel so much better after my sessions here that I consider it an important part of my health to have regular appointments at this place. The decor, lighting and music are all very soothing. All of the massage therapy is given in dimly lighted peaceful rooms while you relax yourself completely and let them do their work. Everyone is very friendly and wants to provide you with the best experience possible. read more

Had an amazing experience with Lek and the Thai Aromatherapy Massage. At the price point it is a bit of a splurge, but the techniques used are amazing and very traditional/consistent. Appreciate the attention to detail, the aesthetics of the rooms, and the little form they have you fill out at the start of each session so the masseuse knows where to concentrate on. Took mother, aunt, and MIL here on separate occasions and they were all very satisfied. read more

I have been coming to this place for years and it is one of the best time massage places in the South Bay. The staff is very friendly and always willing to accommodate where you're feeling pain. They are also very, very strong so walking you'll walk out feeling a little achy in the best way but definitely refreshed the next day. I recommend booking at least a week in advance to make sure you can get a slot. read more

Came by for a traditional Thai massage the other day and it was a decent experience. Made an appointment online and my therapist was available upon arrival. Parking is available in the back of the medical plaza or on the street. The interior of the massage parlor is cozy, just like in Thailand. There are slippers to wear upon entering. The hardwood floors are beautiful in the lobby waiting area. There are a few massage parlor rooms, including a couples room. The receptionist offers shorts to wear during the session. The quality of massage depends on the therapist. During my most recent visit, requested a super strong massage and received a medium massage. The therapist hit different pressure points and also did some stretching which was comfortable. There is a small restroom towards the back of the massage parlor. $85/hr + gratuity for a 1 hour Thai massage. They do offer packages for $75/hour cash when purchasing 6 hours. read more

Pairin Thai Massage - Massage Near Me - San Jose, California

This has been a long overdue review! Pairin has been our go to for some time now for a much needed massage. Thai massages are something else, it always does the trick! We have had different masseuses during mine and my husband's visits, but the two masseuses that stood out to us are Tina and Rita! I always go for the thai oil massage and my husband does the thai traditional massage. I love how welcoming they are and how once you enter, you already feel calm. Tal is super accommodating and we appreciate how clean the place is. read more

4.5 stars. I've been looking for a spot to get a massage since the main gal I go to is slowly phasing out of doing them. Massages are so subjective and I had to do my research. Also, like everyone else I'm picky so I went in knowing that I probably wasn't going to find a total match right away. That was to be expected. It would be just like going to a hair dresser for the first time if you're trying to find someone new. You'll have to try out a few before you find someone and say they're "the one." Because of the all the 5 star reviews, I went with this place in hopes that I might find someone to replace the gal I've gone to for years. I also saw that they offer Swedish massage which is my preference since I like a lighter type of pressure. (I can't do super hard pressure because I'm too sensitive and it ends up being too painful for me.) I also know that I get super ticklish so the therapist has to know exactly the right amount of touch so that I'm not laughing myself off the table or tensing up flinching because all I'm doing is trying to hold my breaths so I don't give in and laugh. I'm so extra it's annoying. I ended up booking online and it was $125 for 90 minutes. They text me with confirmation and I was ready to go. I chose Penny since I saw her name in a few reviews. I walked in and had no expectations- hoped for the best. I was told to fill out a little questionnaire for where I wanted Penny to focus on. Once I was done, I was led to a backroom and told to undress. Penny walked in right on time and I was ready to go. Here are the good things about her: She's really consistent with her kneading. She was able to do both sides of my body with equal amounts of force on my back and arms. Penny is really powerful for a small petite Thai woman. She was great overall until she got to my legs where I started to get ticklish. I didn't tell her at first until the very end when I couldn't handle it anymore and she could feel my legs start to flex and I started giggling. Do you see what I mean? Annoying. It wasn't her fault though. She was just doing her job. I still don't know how my main gal knows *exactly* the right pressure to apply so I don't laugh but she just does. And that's why I had to take one star off-- only because it was great but still not the best. I'll still be on the search for someone to go to but don't hesitate to come here. Penny was solid and I'd definitely recommend her. I tipped her $25 on top of the massage which was $125 + $25= $150. Reasonably priced!! read more

After getting a very disappointing massage a while back at another well-rated location, I was very wary about where to get my next massage as they are quite pricey. After I saw so many good reviews for Pairin Thai Massage, I finally decided to give it a try since I really needed a massage for my shoulders and back from working all day. Pairin Thai Massage is in a small strip of shops and there's a parking lot in the back. It can get pretty full on Saturdays, but when I visited on a Sunday afternoon, it was very empty. Some reviews have said the area is sketch, but it didn't feel that way to me at all. The outside is very basic, but inside is nicely decorated with traditional Thai themes and super calming. I booked an hour long deep tissue massage with Tina and it was amazing! She focused a lot on my upper back and neck as I requested. I enjoy super strong massages and don't mind feeling sore. Tina's strength was perfect and she checked in regularly. She found so many tight muscles and knots I didn't even realize were there. For deep tissue massages, you get to choose from a variety of scents for the oil. Your massage therapist will wipe you down afterwards so don't worry about the oil getting on your clothes. You can buy a 6 time massage package for $450 cash and you can even apply that to your massage if you're visiting for the first time. I decided to go with this package and my second deep tissue massage with Tina was even better than the first. I'll 100% be back to try out the other types of massages that are offered! Btw, this package can be shared. If you're booking for someone else, just book through your regular account but make a note that it's for another person. Just one thing to note though is that I requested a Thai Traditional Massage and got a deep tissue massage instead for my second visit which was weird but it was so relaxing, so I really didn't care. read more

After visiting Thaliland many years ago, I've sought out Thai massage as a way to get out the aches and pains. I've come to Pairin many times over the course of a few years with a few different therapists, and I have always had a great experience at Pairin. My current favorite therapist who I've gone to the last few times is Tikky. I get the Thai Aroma Massage - a mix of a little Thai massage and a little Swedish massage. Be prepared to be walked on, kneaded, stretched in all directions, and feel sore the next day. It is bliss. Note that the walls are a bit thin here, but they have some music playing in the room so you usually can't hear much. Get the 6-session package, you will have no regrets! read more

I like coming here for my birthday because it's a real treat! Staff and the masseuses are so nice. Also, they are strong! I enjoy feeling like perfectly kneaded dough at the end of a massage since my shoulders have been tight for as long as I can remember. They take time to make you feel comfortable and calm. I would recommend! read more

Pairin Thai Massage was recommended by a friend, and I'm so glad we gave it a try! I usually go to an Asian foot massage spot, but this was my first visit to Pairin--and it definitely won't be the last. My husband and I booked a couples Thai Oil Massage for an hour, and our massage therapists, Penny and Rita, were absolutely wonderful. We were both pleasantly surprised by how deeply relaxing and rejuvenating the experience was. They paid thoughtful attention to every part of the body--joints, legs, glutes, lower back, shoulders, and neck. It felt like they poured care into every touch. By the end, we felt physically recharged and mentally at peace. The best part? Later that afternoon, we both drifted into a nap that left us feeling refreshed in a way we hadn't experienced in years. Truly a healing experience! read more

The best Swedish massage I ever had! Penny is great. She knows exactly where my pain points are and had my body super relax and rejuvenated after the session. Highly recommend and definitely will keep coming back. My body is happy read more

I never got to experience the massage because they realized at the last minute that the masseuse wasn't available.

I just had one of the best Thai massages ever! I was rear ended recently and had gone to the gym last week to lift weights. Big mistake. I was in so much pain, tight, and really sore. Jai, my masseuse, discussed my injury and then truly gave me such an incredible massage. The pressure was perfect (she asked if the pressure was okay). I felt so amazing after. I will definitely be going back!! read more

My partner and I went for our anniversary and received great professional Thai massages from our masseuses. It was quiet and relaxing and they put in the time to work and stretch our muscles for our benefit. We were sore afterwards but in a good way and would definitely return! The front desk was also helpful and sweet as well. read more

I had the opportunity to visit Pairin Thai Massage and had a pretty good experience. I made an appt online and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was and selected whichever masseuse was available. There is parking in the back but very limited. I ended up parking across the street at CVS. TBH it looked a bit sketchy so I was thinking of my car the entire time. My masseuse asked me if she could step on me and I said sure not really knowing what to expect. As soon as she did, I realized I did not like it lol. So if thats not for you, make sure you let them know! I had booked a deep tissue massage and let me tell you, she really dug into my knots and troubled area and it just hurt so good. No other massage place I've gone to actually took the time to work out my knots. Its been a few long months since my last massage and I had quite a few. My masseuse was very nice and made sure to check up on me every now and then to make sure I was feeling okay. I overall enjoyed my massage and am looking forward to my next session without the stepping. read more

My girl Pammy gets me right every time! I visit every few weeks so I'm over here trying to figure out how to put her in my monthly budget! I've had other masseuses, but she's just my favorite. I'm an introvert and she's not chatty at all, so perfect for me! I just come to relax. Her feet and toes are so strong. Like yes, please! Step on every part of my body if you want. And she does! Even my ass!!! Which is heavenly after a heavy leg day! The deep tissue massage is painful, so you probably won't be drifting off to sleep during it, but it is functional and well worth it in the end. I recommend the 90 minute massage over the 60 because the standing part of the massage isn't so rushed. 10/10 read more

Saturdays are for self care days!! My boyfriend booked me an appointment at Pairin Thai Massage for my birthday and it was such a wonderful and relaxing experience. Personally, this is my first professional massage EVER so I won't have much experience to compare to but what an enjoyable first time here. The receptionist checked us in and gave us the run down in deep details since it was both our first time at Pairin. Pairin provided services such as Traditional Thai massage, Aromatic Thai massage, deep tissue massage, and more. We both decided on the Traditional Thai and chose Medium for how intense we wanted the pressure points to be. Kathy and Jai were our therapists and both were super friendly and nice to us. Jai kept asking me if I was doing well with the pressure level and if I was okay. This is definitely not a normal massage and it's a little more intense than the regular shoulder massages I receive. However, I felt so light and loose at the end and I felt as if all the stress was taken away from me. I highlighted that I want to focus on my trapezius and shoulder muscles and Jai did just that. In the end, my boyfriend and I would definitely frequent Pairin again! Maybe this could be our monthly self care service haha read more

Came here for the first time and loved it. Received a 90 minute deep tissue massage with moderate pressure. I felt so relaxed leaving the place. I think I even fell asleep at one point during my massage because I was so relaxed. Nice small private rooms for your massages. Prices aren't bad at all. My massage therapist Richie was amazing. I would definitely be coming back! read more

This place has transformed my entire body. I was barely able to walk in to get my massage and when I left I felt like nothing had changed but the next morning I woke up and I felt brand new. I appreciate how much comfort I have now because of them. I would recommend them to anyone that has pain in their body read more

This was the most amazing 75 min massage I've had. My masseuse broke so much built up tension I was mush by the time they were done. this joy should be shared with the community. read more

tl;dr - Reasonably priced, authentic Thai massages with a few varieties of massage in a small center. Didn't leave quite as relaxed as I'd hoped, but it still felt nice. I made a reservation over the phone without ease for the couples room. No issues with the reservation at all when we showed up, and the person at the front desk explained to us the different options in case we wanted to explore something other than what was specified over the phone. Free bottles of water in the reception/sitting and waiting area. I had the traditional Thai massage as I wanted the pressure-based and stretching experience over Swedish / Western massage therapies since I personally haven't had as good Swedish massage experiences. My boyfriend had the Thai Aroma massage, which involves the use of oils throughout the massage with a mix of Thai and Swedish massage therapy. I've had only one other traditional Thai massage before, but I didn't feel as "lightened" after this massage than I did the previous one. Maybe I was just that much tighter before at my old job, haha. I selected medium pressure on the pre-massage paperwork, but I still felt that Sandy's pressure was quite high on me. I am also a small person, which could have factored into it. I successfully breathed through the pressure, but in retrospect, I probably should have broken the silence and asked her to back off just a touch. I would consider returning if my boyfriend wanted to in the future, but I also would continue researching around for other areas to experience additional types of massages. read more

I'm so happy my husband found this place. I was sceptical upon walking up because the building complex looks weird but Wow....I have had so many massages in my life. At high end hotel spas around the world, small places like this, at reflexology places that offer acupressure, been to RMT's too. Only once out of all those times did I find a masseuse that I personally loved and returned weekly. When I moved away I was so sad, it's been nearly 4 years since then and I have not had a good massage since until now. Everyone has a certain preference for what kind of massage they like - I like when the masseuse is skilled to find knots and coax them out along the length of the muscle...that's what my masseuse used to do for nearly the entire massage....my masseuse Nancy today did a good amount of that. She was soooo great. I'm so happy. She can also do really firm pressure. I hate massages that are so gentle and I ask for more pressure and it's still so gentle and I lay there frustrated for the remainder of the time wondering when the massage will actually start. We came for a couples massage and my husband had Sandy. He said he really enjoyed his massage as well. We were told Sandy is stronger than Nancy and my husband liked the pain lol. Everyone was really kind and it was such a great experience overall. We will definitely be back read more

This place is amazing! I've had their Thai and Deep Tissue massage. The stretching was new to me but I'm sure it was helpful for my tight muscles. I'm gonna get the Swedish massage next after finals are over! When arriving, the parking lot isn't as obvious. To enter there is a very narrow space and it's hard to get out sometimes if the main road is busy. They might also get your appointment pushed back. I scheduled a chiropractor appointment almost immediately after but fortunately we went forward with my original time. They texted me and let me know ahead of time, which I appreciated. You can pay before or after but typically it's after. They also accept credit cards The space inside is small. Remove shoes when you enter, and there are slippers are available if you need them. They also offer water when you leave, which is super nice. Hydrating after a massage is key! At the beginning there is a paper you fill out and mark your problem areas/focus. And choose your essential oil scent as well. The walls are thin and generally it's very quiet but you can hear them in the next room over if someone is getting a massage. They have covid practices as well, such as putting on a mask when faced up. There is a basket provided for your belongings. I recommend everyone to try this place at least once! read more

So glad I found this place on Yelp! I only wish it was located a bit closer to home, but that might be a good thing. Scheduling was pretty easy, I just messaged the business/texted the owner (Tal). You can also book through the website. Tal kept me informed of changes via calls/texts and gave me a decent amount of notice for any delays. The parking lot does feel a bit sketchy and the building gave me old-motel vibes. However, once you're inside, the ambience is tranquil and inviting. My masseuse was wonderful and the pressure was exactly what I was hoping for. I've left massages before feeling beat up or more tired than when I came in, and that definitely was not the case. I opted for the traditional Thai massage and was provided with a change of clothing (just like in Thailand!). Price is comparable at $80/person for an hour session. There's also a deal where it's a bit cheaper if you buy a 6-hour package. Looking forward to coming back soon! read more

Overdue review and much deserved! I typically can't handle the elbow grease of a Thai massage but I decided to give this place a try because they offered a pregnancy massage. Also tried their Swedish massage and loved both. Let's get into the deets. Check in is always super smooth and quick. Tal is the owner and he typically checks everyone in and out. You need to take off your shoes and put on their house slippers. Then they give you a check-in form that lets you mark where you want your masseuse to focus on. Give yourself 10 minutes in advance to fill out this form and get situated so it doesn't eat into your time. The customer service is awesome and feels very personable. Tal always asks how the massage was and thanks everyone for coming. My pregnancy massage was with Sandy and she was phenomenal. She had me lay on my side while hugging a body pillow. Super relaxing but also good pressure where needed to relax my muscles. I had to ask for a slightly lighter strength but she adjusted perfectly. Also came for a Swedish massage with Jai and found this one also very relaxing. I chose to not lay on my stomach since it was soon after having a baby and she adjusted nicely. Particularly loved my hand and head massage (drool). The Swedish comes with an essential oil (they have a nice selection of scents) and I chose grapefruit (yum). I brought my dad here as well for a deep tissue massage and he said it was the best massage he's gotten in a long time. He has some seriously tight muscles and pain. Most places just can't work out those knots deep enough but Cathy did WORK. Love that they have a discounted package of 6 pre-paid massages that don't expire. Never know what to gift my dad and finally have something he really enjoys! Thank you Tal, Sandy, Cathy, Jai, and Jill! Highly recommend. read more

First time back in a couple years but both times have been amazing. I had so much tension in my neck/shoulder area and feel so relieved. Love the Thai oil massage and that they use the hot towels to wipe it off after instead of leaving you a hot oily mess LOL Penny was phenomenal, good balance of feeling good but also effective, and definitely feel a difference after. Wonderful massage! read more

I've spent a good bit of time chasing the best massage spot in the SJ area. I found Pairin Thai, through Yelp of course, and was able to set up an online appointment. The online booking is easy and you'll get choose your preferred massage style then your masseuse. Each masseuse has their own strength and I would highly recommend reading through the reviews and calling Pairin to find out how strong/firm the different therapists are. A good fail safe is to start with light pressure and work up from there. I ended up selecting a deep tissue massage because I do workout a bit and I figured that would be the best to help loosen things up. My main goal was to loosen things up and the secondary goal was to relax. I ended up with Natty as she had the only availability for the day I wanted. The owner shot me a text that Natty got a little held up and we shifted my appointment 15 minutes. They ask you to take off your outside shoes before you walk through. They do have sandals but you can also just rock your socks. You get to select a essential oil if you'd like, the standard oil is unscented. You also have to option for your therapist to use tiger balm. Once you get taken to your room you've got the option to remove outer layers of clothing down to your underwear. Some massages don't need you to remove your outer clothing. They also offer disposable underwear if that's something you would like. They used a hot towel prior to starting the massage on my arms, legs, hands and feet. I requested medium pressure for this massage. I can say this massage was better at loosening up my muscles and less relaxing. She spent good time focusing on the areas I specified and to be honest it was right on the edge of painful. The foot, hand and head massages were the most relaxing parts. I was interested in seeing if I had any next day soreness but there was none. I think the massage was effective at loosening up my muscles. I'd rate the deep tissue massage as more functional and less relaxing. Overall I had a good experience and I'm interested in checking out some of the other therapists and the other massage styles. My next goal is going to be finding the most relaxing massage at Pairin. The owner is nice and personable. I'll updated with future experiences. read more

Excellent massage with Tina. Customer service was great and welcoming. You're given a form to indicate message type, focus areas, and strength. I chose medium, and it was a true medium. I'll be back! read more

Great place, great massage, and on time. I also appreciated the explanation of every type of services they provide.

In my opinion, I don't feel different before and after. I got the service today. My therapist is okay; she pays attention to me, but she is good for relaxation style. Yet, I prefer treatment, so I wasn't happy. Totally, this place is good. The reception guy is very nice. He takes good care of customers. read more
