Everything you need to know before you book
Session format — duration, frequency, or time of day — affects availability but not the booking process itself. All formats and lengths are available same-day with 2–3 hours notice. Shorter sessions (60 minutes) have slightly better same-day availability because they fit more easily into therapist scheduling windows. Longer sessions (90–120 minutes) on the same day are available in most cases with 3 hours lead time. Morning sessions and late-night sessions (after 11 PM, 100,000 VND surcharge) are both available. Book via WhatsApp with your hotel name, chosen service, desired duration, and preferred start time.
The most popular booking window is 5–10 PM — the end-of-day recovery and wind-down slot. Morning sessions (9 AM–12 PM) are available and popular for Thai massage and foot massage, particularly for guests who want to start the day loose and energised. The quietest booking window is midday (12–4 PM), which also has the best same-day availability. If you are planning a regular schedule during a longer stay, a fixed weekly time booked via WhatsApp is the easiest approach. For single-trip guests, the most satisfying session timing is typically 7–8 PM — enough time to enjoy the evening afterward or drift off to sleep.
All session formats work identically operationally: the therapist arrives, sets up, works the full booked duration, and leaves. The difference is what gets covered in the available time. A 60-minute session is focused and complete — a thorough treatment of a primary area. A 90-minute session adds depth: more areas covered, longer sequences, less time pressure on the therapist. A 120-minute session is a full-body treatment with time for everything. For regular sessions (weekly, monthly), the therapist can adapt to ongoing needs rather than treating each session as a standalone introduction. Payment is always cash after — regardless of session length or frequency.
“Started monthly. Moved to weekly after two months. The cumulative effect is incomparable — weekly maintains a baseline that monthly only briefly achieves then loses. If you're serious about this as a health practice rather than a treat, weekly is where the real benefit begins.”
