The short version before you read the full comparison.
Best if the main problem is neck stiffness, shoulder knots, screen fatigue, scalp tension, or a tension headache.
Best if travel, walking, workouts, or poor sleep left your back, hips, legs, feet, and whole body tired.
For 60 minutes, choose focused head and shoulder work if one area is bothering you. For complete full-body coverage, book 90 minutes.
The right choice depends on where the tension actually lives. Head and shoulder massage is the better 60-minute booking when your problem is neck stiffness, shoulder knots, scalp tension, screen fatigue, or headache pressure. Full body massage is better when the tiredness is spread across your back, hips, legs, feet, and nervous system, especially after flights, walking, workouts, or poor sleep.

Best For:
| Aspect | Head & Shoulder Massage | Full Body Massage |
|---|---|---|
| Best first choice | When discomfort is mainly above the upper back | When fatigue is spread across the whole body |
| Main coverage | Scalp, temples, neck, shoulders, and upper back | Back, hips, legs, feet, arms, neck, and shoulders |
| Time efficiency | 60 minutes gives enough time for focused upper-body work | 60 minutes is a quick full-body pass; 90 minutes feels more complete |
| Headache and screen strain | Better first choice because the session stays on the source area | Helpful if headache is part of wider stress or poor sleep |
| After-travel recovery | Useful if travel tension sits in neck and shoulders | Better if flights, walking, or luggage made the whole body tired |
Choose Head & Shoulder Massage if your main issue is neck stiffness, shoulder knots, scalp tension, screen fatigue, or a tension headache and you want the whole session focused there.
Choose Full Body Massage if tiredness is spread across your back, hips, legs, feet, and nervous system, or if your goal is sleep and complete relaxation.

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.
“Targeted the head and shoulder session for a persistent neck issue. The therapist spent 45 focused minutes on one area instead of 90 minutes spread across the whole body. For specific issues, targeted beats comprehensive.”
