Everything you need to know before you book
Both services in this comparison are clothed — no oil, no undressing required, and therapist setup under 5 minutes. This makes same-day bookings straightforward: as little as 1–2 hours notice is sufficient for most clothed services. Book via WhatsApp with your hotel name, the service you have chosen, preferred duration, and start time. Confirmation comes within 30 minutes. The 90-minute format is recommended for first-timers with either service — enough time to cover a thorough sequence without feeling rushed. Late-night sessions (after 11 PM) are available with a 100,000 VND surcharge.
Clothed massage services are the most flexible in terms of timing — no oil smell to consider, no shower needed afterward, and you can book at any hour without the pre/post logistics of oil-based treatments. Both Thai and shiatsu see strong morning bookings for an energy-boosting or jet-lag-addressing start. Head and shoulder and foot massage are popular midday and early evening. For any clothed service, the most available booking windows are mid-morning (9–11 AM) and early evening (5–7 PM). If you are deciding between morning and evening, consider that Thai and shiatsu work well at both; foot and head and shoulder are more evening-weighted in typical booking patterns.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing — the therapist can provide suitable clothes if needed for Thai massage. The therapist arrives with a padded mat or compact kit and sets up in 3–5 minutes. Sessions for clothed services involve pressure, compression, and stretching rather than gliding strokes. Communicate freely about pressure intensity during the session — the therapist adjusts based on your feedback. Most guests feel energized rather than drowsy after clothed pressure work. No shower is needed after. Payment is cash, settled directly with the therapist at the end of the session.
“Thought foot massage was a lesser option — just feet, how much can it do? The therapist spent 60 minutes working from toes to knee and the reflexology hit things I didn't expect. After a walking day, foot massage is the clinical answer. For everything else, full body. Now I book based on what the day has done.”
