I’ve been to four different Thai massage establishments in SF and I’ve received the best massage I’ve ever had here. Although your experience may vary by therapist, I can definitely say that this place hires really well trained therapists. I went for a Thai Massage elsewhere and it wasn’t the deep massage full of stretches that I have come to expect from a Thai massage. Feeling like I didn’t get the rejuvenation I was hoping for, I booked another appointment here and the difference was night and day!
I’ve been here twice now. The first time I went, I got a one hour traditional Thai massage. The second time, a 90 minute Thai aroma massage. Either way you can’t go wrong as both are amazing in their own ways. However, if you haven’t ever gotten a traditional style Thai massage, I recommend trying that first as they’re completely different from other more common types of massage in the west. For now, I think I’m sold on the Aroma though. For me it’s the perfect combo of stretching and massaging of the muscles.
The one small piece of feedback that I have is that both times I went, I had the same therapist. However, it didn’t seem that it was communicated with the therapist that they had worked on me recently. I think it’d make the patron feel more welcome if they knew this as well as potentially cater the massage based on previous session(s).
I feel rejuvenated and refreshed!...
Read moreI've gotten many Thai massages in my life. The ones I've had here have to be some of the best massages I've ever had. I like it REALLY deep and hard. They spend half the time walking on top of my back -- it is excellent. Their feet have the dexterity of hands, and they dig into your shoulders, back, and legs with their toes. They know how to safely use their forearms and press their entire weight on top of you for maximum pressure. They also use their elbows and ankles.
Before each session, they give you a clipboard to fill out. There is a diagram of a person and you fill in where you are experiencing pain and want the masseuse to focus. I have extremely flat feet and experience constant pain in my feet, ankles, and thighs, as well as lower and upper back. Today he spent a lot of time rubbing and stretching out these areas, and it was amazing. This is the only thing that gives me relief from my pain. I always walk out of here feeling like a...

I hate to leave a bad review to my favorite place but being a regular client who recommends the business to all my friends, I feel obligated.
My masseuse this time was okay. Her fingers were scratchy which was distracting. It was my birthday so I really wanted to start the day right and not make a fuss about it.
In addition, unlike the previous times, it didn't feel like she knew what she was doing which left me with cramps in my calf and pain in my neck even after a week.
In my previous experiences at Tubtim, they would uncover you where they need to massage which felt really professional and considerate and that didn't...
