Before booking a home or hotel massage, here are some important things to consider:
1. Choose a Reputable Service
- Use well-known apps to book or contact us Homeyhandmassage.
- Check reviews on Google, Facebook, or TripAdvisor before choosing a provider.
- If booking through a spa, confirm that they offer home or hotel service.
2. Know the Type of Massage You Want
- Thai Massage – Traditional stretching and pressure-point massage.
- Oil Massage – Relaxing and smooth, often with aromatherapy oils.
- Deep Tissue / Sports Massage – Ideal for muscle tension and pain relief.
3. Set Up a Comfortable Space
- Choose a quiet, spacious area for the massage.
Have a clean towel and a pillow ready (some therapists bring their own). - Adjust the room temperature and lighting for comfort.
4. Be Clear About Pricing & Payment
- Ask about pricing, duration, and any extra charges before booking.
- Confirm if cash, bank transfer, or credit card is accepted.
- Avoid suspiciously cheap services, as quality may be compromised.
5. Personal Safety & Boundaries
- Use a trusted service to ensure safety.
- If you feel uncomfortable at any time, stop the session.
- Wear appropriate clothing for Thai massage, if required.
6. Confirm the Therapist’s Gender Preference
- Some services let you choose a male or female therapist based on your comfort level.
- If you have a preference, mention it when booking.
7. Be Mindful of Timing
- Book your massage at a convenient time, avoiding interruptions.
- If staying in a hotel, check if massages are allowed in your room.
- Allow time to relax after the session instead of rushing to another activity.
8. Hygiene & Etiquette
- Shower before the session, especially if you’ve been outside or exercising.
- Avoid eating a heavy meal just before your massage.
- If possible, have a clean sheet or towel ready in case the therapist doesn’t bring one.
9. Communication is Key
- Let the therapist know if you have injuries or specific areas to focus on.
- If the pressure is too strong or too light, speak up.
- Clarify any concerns about privacy before the massage begins.
10. Tipping & Gratitude
- While not always required, tipping (100–200 THB) is common for good service.
- A polite “thank you” in Thai (khop khun krap/ka) is always appreciated.
