Oldtown Thai Massage Phuket — Local services in Ratsada

I came here because of all the glowing reviews, but I left a bit disappointed. Out of the 40+ Thai massages I’ve had over the years, this was probably in my bottom five.

It started off nicely as we were welcomed with cold tea and got to choose our preferred aromatics. The space itself is very clean and visually calming, which I appreciated. However, things went downhill once the session began. There was a lot of giggling among the staff, which felt a little unprofessional and made me uncomfortable, as it seemed like they might’ve been talking about me (especially about my large feet).

The massage itself felt low-effort. It started off soft, which I thought would build up to stronger pressure, but it never did. Much of it was done through a towel, and my therapist seemed disengaged or possibly tired. The aromatherapy also felt pointless since I mostly smelled the scent from the person next to me rather than the one I picked.

By the end, I didn’t feel refreshed — if anything, I felt a bit sore and unsatisfied. While the environment and presentation were lovely, the actual massage experience just didn’t live up to the...

Very relaxing atmosphere 🌸 and skilled masseuse!

💲I got the back, neck and shoulders message with oil @ 60min for 450baht. I had some special requests, which they accommodated, so I was very grateful for that.

👟 Make sure you take off your shoes at the door. They will give you slippers to wear.

🚪 The rooms I went to were up a flight of stairs (see pic). Extremely clean room. Essential oil diffuser made the room smell great, it was perfectly quiet 👂 with no noise from the road in front of the building.

⚠️She noticed some problem under my shoulder blade, which is correct because both shoulder blades, I've had problems before.

✋ Very strong hands, and you could tell she's been doing massages for years. I don't even know if my young manly grip would compare.

Over-all happy with a quality oil massage and I will come again for the great experience. I...

Where do I even begin?! My friend and I came here every day during our stay. This is a family owned business and we felt welcomed as family. They are all very kind and polite. The place is very clean and nice. They welcome you with a cold, wet towel for the heat and a cup of tea. The massages are amazing!! I had Khanun requested every day after the first amazing massage I had with him. He’s great! He’s very respectful and polite and amazing at what he does. The dad, Tim, is also great and very peaceful. I had him once for a foot massage, and his massage put me in a very deep sleep. My friend requested him every day! They’re all a beautiful, humble family. We didn’t want to leave. Best...
