Thai Massage in Chiang Mai, Thailand with Noi : tips, prices, what tourists don't know

Thinking of getting a Thai massage in Chiang Mai?

In this video, Noi shares what it’s really like working in a small, family-style massage shop. No luxury spa, no marketing spin, just honest insight from someone with over 12 years of experience.

You’ll learn what a typical massage costs, the difference between Thai and oil massage, what to expect during your first visit, and a few things tourists often don’t realise until it’s too late.

From prices and etiquette to funny behind-the-scenes moments, this is a realistic look at one of Chiang Mai’s most popular experiences.

If you’re visiting Thailand for the first time, or just curious about how things really work, this will help you feel more confident before you walk in.
