Thai massage provides full-body relief after exploring Cho Lon's temples, markets, and winding streets. The stretching techniques help recover from hours of walking and standing.
District 5 is the heart of Saigon's Chinatown (Cho Lon), home to Binh Tay Market, historic Chinese temples like Thien Hau Pagoda, and incredible street food. It's an authentic, less-touristy area worth exploring.
“The Thai massage was incredible — I felt so much more flexible afterwards. The therapist used proper technique the entire session, none of that tourist-spa rushing. My back and hips had been tight for weeks from the flight; an hour later they weren't.”

Everything you need to know before you book
Book via WhatsApp with your hotel name, preferred time, and the district you are in. Thai massage requires no oil and no special preparation — loose, comfortable clothing is all that is needed. Mention any areas of tightness or recent injury when booking so the therapist can plan the session accordingly. Same-day bookings are available with 2–3 hours notice. A 90-minute session is the standard recommendation for Thai massage — the stretching sequences take time to build and a 60-minute session is compressed by comparison.
Thai massage is the most effective after a day of physical activity — sightseeing, a long journey, or intense desk work. The late afternoon (4–7 PM) and early evening (7–9 PM) windows are the most popular. A 90-minute evening session followed by an early sleep leaves most guests feeling fully reset by morning. For those who prefer a morning start, Thai massage also works well as a day-opener — the stretching component increases mobility and energy for the hours ahead. Late-night sessions (after 11 PM) carry a 50,000 VND surcharge.
The therapist arrives at your room in District 5 with a portable mat and works on the floor — no table is used for Thai massage. You remain fully clothed throughout: comfortable, flexible clothes are ideal. The session involves guided stretching (similar to assisted yoga), rhythmic compression, and thumb-pressure along energy lines. No oil is used. Expect to change positions several times — supine, side-lying, seated, and prone. The session runs the full booked time. Payment is cash after; no deposit required.
