Will never return again to this trap.

Have been for many other massages all around Thailand and none of them have ever ended with such a bad feeling before.

I’ve experienced really bad massages before at other places where it hurts and I discover bruises afterwards, yet I never even leave a bad review, just let it go and never return to the same place.

Came to this branch of Health Land for a basic massage. The massage itself was good and the chairs were extremely plush and comfortable. After we were done, the massuese gave us tea and waited at the doorway while we put on our shoes and drank the tea. When we got up to leave and walked past them, a few of the masseuses there started to exclaim “Eh, eh, tip! Tip! Tip!” We were quite confused as no other massage place has ever DEMANDED a tip before, especially not in this manner where they were outright SHAMING you in front of other staff and customers until you give them a tip. When I tried to clarify if we were required to tip, the staff (who all had their faces covered with masks) sarcastically answered “Yes, give tip!” and proceeded to laugh amongst each other like they were making fun of us??

Maybe it’s my bad for not knowing if this is the culture/expectation, but I believe tips are up to the customer’s discretion to appreciate a genuinely good service. If it is truly something expected/required, then the front desk should let you know before you make payment so you’re aware and can decide whether you’re okay with it. However, ABSOLUTELY NO NOTICE was given anywhere or mentioned at any point, hence why we were caught off guard. (We have seen other massage parlors in the same area who openly state in their menu that there is a minimum tip and that’s totally fine!)

This unfortunately made the entire experience and place like some shady tourist rip off that the Health Land management is probably not even aware that their staff are doing. Never returning again to any of your outlets.
