Question 1

How much does a massage cost in Ho Chi Minh City?

Accepted Answer

MassageGo massage prices in Ho Chi Minh City start at 500,000 VND (approximately 20 USD) for a 60-minute foot massage. Aromatherapy massage, Thai massage, Shiatsu, hot stone, cupping, and head-and-shoulder massage sessions start at 500,000 VND for 60 minutes. Extending to 90 minutes costs between 700,000 and 700,000 VND, and a full 120-minute session ranges from 900,000 to 900,000 VND depending on the service type. All prices are all-inclusive — they cover the therapist's travel to your hotel, professional portable equipment, fresh linens, and massage oils. There are no hidden fees or add-on charges. A late-night surcharge of 50,000 VND applies to bookings between 11 PM and 7 AM, and a 50,000 VND transportation fee applies for locations more than 10 km from District 1. All surcharges are disclosed upfront before you confirm your booking. Payment is made in cash after the session is completed.

Question 2

Do you charge extra for travel or hotel delivery?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, no — our listed prices are all-inclusive and cover the therapist's travel within 10 km of District 1, professional massage equipment and massage oils. There are no hidden setup fees, equipment charges, or hotel delivery fees for bookings within this range. However, for locations more than 10 km from District 1 — such as outer areas of Thu Duc City, Binh Chanh, or other distant districts — a transportation surcharge of 50,000 VND applies to cover the additional travel time and distance. This fee is always disclosed at the time of booking before you confirm, so you know the full price in advance. Bookings between 11 PM and 7 AM also incur a 50,000 VND late-night fee. The price you see is the price you pay, settled in cash directly with your therapist after the session ends.

Question 3

How do I pay for the massage?

Accepted Answer

Payment for your MassageGo session is made in cash in Vietnamese Dong (VND) directly to your therapist after the session is complete. We do not accept card payments, bank transfers, or mobile payment apps at this time, as our therapists are independent professionals. No advance payment or deposit is required when you book — you only pay after you have received the service. The exact price for your session, including any applicable surcharges for late-night bookings or distant locations, is confirmed to you before you finalise your booking so there are no surprises. If you need to obtain VND, ATMs from major banks such as Techcombank, Vietcombank, and ACB are widely available throughout Ho Chi Minh City, as are currency exchange counters at most hotels and shopping centres. We recommend having the correct amount ready when your therapist arrives to make the handover straightforward.

Question 4

Is there a minimum booking duration?

Accepted Answer

The minimum booking duration for most MassageGo services is 60 minutes. This applies to all main massage types including foot massage, aromatherapy, Thai massage, Shiatsu, hot stone, cupping massage, and head-and-shoulder massage. A 60-minute session is an excellent starting point for first-time clients and provides a complete therapeutic experience. For deeper relaxation or more thorough treatment — particularly for Thai massage or hot stone — we recommend booking 90 or 120 minutes, which allows your therapist to work through the full body without feeling rushed. There is no maximum session cap; if you want a longer bespoke session, contact us via WhatsApp to discuss therapist availability. Couples and group bookings follow the same 60-minute minimum per person. Cupping massage is typically offered as a supplementary add-on combined with another service. Duration and pricing are both confirmed and agreed before your booking is finalised.

Question 5

Can I book for multiple people?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. MassageGo can accommodate bookings for couples, small groups, and larger corporate team events. For two people, we send two qualified therapists who arrive together and conduct simultaneous sessions — ideal for couples wanting a shared massage experience in the same room. For groups of three or more, specify the number of guests and their preferred massage types when booking, and we will coordinate the required number of therapists to arrive at the same time. Each person is priced individually based on their chosen service and duration. For large corporate wellness events involving 10 or more staff, we recommend reaching out via our Corporate Wellness page or contacting us on WhatsApp for bespoke scheduling and coordination. All therapists for group bookings are subject to the same rigorous vetting and professional certification process as individual bookings, ensuring consistent quality regardless of group size.

Question 6

Is there a late-night or transportation surcharge?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are two possible surcharges beyond the base massage price, both always disclosed at the time of booking before you confirm. The first is a late-night fee of 50,000 VND (approximately 2 USD) that applies to any session starting between 11:00 PM and 7:00 AM. This compensates therapists for working outside standard hours and applies regardless of service type. The second is a transportation surcharge of 50,000 VND for locations more than 10 km from District 1 — this covers the additional travel time and distance to outer areas such as parts of Thu Duc City, Binh Chanh, or districts far from the city centre. If both conditions apply simultaneously — for example, a late-night booking at a distant location — both surcharges stack, for a maximum additional cost of 100,000 VND. No other surcharges or hidden fees exist beyond these two clearly communicated additions.

Question 7

What is the difference between Thai massage and aromatherapy massage?

Accepted Answer

Thai massage and aromatherapy massage are the two most popular options at MassageGo, but they deliver very different experiences. Thai massage (500,000 VND for 60 min) is a dry, clothed technique using rhythmic compression, passive stretching, and pressure along energy lines. It is energising rather than relaxing — ideal if you want relief from stiff muscles, improved flexibility, or a post-flight reset. You stay dressed and no oil is used. Aromatherapy massage (500,000 VND for 60 min) is a flowing, oil-based full-body massage using Swedish-style strokes combined with essential oils. It is deeply relaxing and calming, making it better suited for stress relief, wind-down after sightseeing, or a luxurious hotel-room treat. It is performed on bare skin with fresh linens. If you are unsure, Thai massage is the better choice for soreness and tension; aromatherapy is the better choice for pure relaxation.

Question 8

Which massage is best for muscle pain — Thai, hot stone, or shiatsu?

Accepted Answer

All three address muscle pain, but in different ways. Thai massage uses deep compression and assisted stretching to release tight muscles and improve range of motion — best for full-body stiffness and post-exercise soreness. Hot stone massage (500,000 VND for 60 min) uses heated basalt stones placed along tense areas, allowing heat to penetrate deep into muscle tissue with minimal pressure — ideal if you are sensitive to deep pressure but still want muscle relief. Shiatsu (500,000 VND for 60 min) applies sustained finger and palm pressure on specific meridian points, making it particularly effective for localised tension like neck, shoulder, or lower back pain. For general body ache and flexibility, choose Thai. For heat-based deep muscle relaxation, choose hot stone. For targeted pressure relief on specific sore spots, choose shiatsu.

Question 9

Is MassageGo cheaper than hotel spa massage in HCMC?

Accepted Answer

Yes, significantly. Hotel spa massages in Ho Chi Minh City typically cost between 1,500,000 and 3,000,000 VND (60–120 USD) for a 60-minute session, before service charges and taxes that can add another 15–20%. A MassageGo massage starts at 500,000 VND (approximately 20 USD) for 60 minutes — delivered directly to your hotel room with no add-ons. The same licensed therapists who train at hotel spas work independently through MassageGo at a fraction of the price, because you are not paying for the spa facility, attendants, or hotel overhead. The quality of the massage itself is identical — the difference is purely in the cost structure. If price transparency and value matter to you, in-room booking with MassageGo is the more economical choice without any compromise on professionalism.
