“Full body massage” in Pattaya usually means one of two things: a traditional Thai massage (clothed, on a mat, with pressure and stretching) or an oil massage (on a table, with oil, slower strokes). Both work the whole body. The price difference comes from the type, the length and where you buy it, not from the words on the sign.
This page is the price sheet. For what each massage feels like, which streets to try and how to tell a therapeutic shop from somewhere that isn’t, read the full Thai massage in Pattaya guide.

Full body Thai massage: price and what you get
Street shop: approx. ฿250–350 for 60 minutes. Most shops also sell 90 and 120 minutes; two hours usually costs a little less than double the hourly rate.
You change into loose cotton trousers and a top the shop provides, lie on a floor mat, and the therapist works from feet to head using palms, thumbs, elbows and assisted stretches. It is firm. Say bao bao (lighter) or raeng raeng (harder) and the therapist will adjust.
A full body Thai massage is the best value massage in Pattaya. If you only try one, try this.
Full body oil massage: price and what you get
Street shop: approx. ฿350–600 for 60 minutes. Aromatherapy, “warm oil” and “body massage” on a price board generally mean this.
You undress to your underwear, lie on a table under a towel, and the therapist uses oil and long, slow strokes. Only the area being worked on is uncovered. Oil massage is gentler than Thai massage and better if you want to relax rather than be stretched. A curtained room is normal for oil massage.
The phrase “full body massage” on its own is a standard description of this treatment in most shops. If a sign or a tout offers anything described as “special”, that is not a therapeutic massage, and the massage guide explains how to read the signs.
Foot massage: price and what you get
Street shop: approx. ฿250–350 for 60 minutes (30-minute sessions are common and cheaper).
Done fully clothed in a recliner, usually in an open-fronted shop where you can see in from the street. It covers the feet and lower legs and often finishes with a few minutes on the shoulders. It is the easiest way to try a new shop before booking a longer session there.
Spa vs street shop: is the spa worth it?
What the extra money buys at a spa: a quiet private room, a shower, consistent hygiene standards, online booking, tea afterwards and, at the big chains, a printed menu with fixed prices. What it doesn’t buy: better technique. A skilled therapist in a ฿300 shop can give a better Thai massage than a spa.
Two well-known chains publish their prices:
- Health Land (branches on Pattaya Nua Road and Sukhumvit Road) lists traditional Thai massage at ฿700 for 120 minutes, foot massage at ฿400 for 60 minutes, Thai massage with herbal compress at ฿1,050 for 120 minutes, and aromatherapy body massage at ฿1,200 for 90 minutes or ฿1,500 for 120 minutes. These are chain-wide prices; confirm with the branch.
- Let’s Relax, Terminal 21 Pattaya (first floor, open daily 10am–midnight per its own site) lists Thai massage at ฿1,300 for 120 minutes, foot massage at ฿650 for 45 minutes or ฿875 for 60 minutes, warm oil massage at ฿1,600 for 60 minutes, and back and shoulder at ฿400 for 30 minutes. Let’s Relax packages can also be booked ahead on Klook: see Let’s Relax Terminal 21 packages on Klook.
Health Land is the cheaper of the two for a long Thai massage, at roughly the same hourly rate as a tourist-strip street shop. Let’s Relax is the more polished, mall-based option. Hotel spas on Pratumnak and in the larger beachfront resorts start at about ฿1,500 a session and are covered in the spa and wellness guide.
How to avoid paying more than the board says
- Confirm the length and the price before you lie down. Some boards show prices per 30 minutes, not per hour.
- Check for ”++” at spas. Where a menu says ++, a 10% service charge and 7% VAT are added on top.
- Carry small notes. Street shops mostly prefer cash; ฿100 and ฿50 notes make paying (and tipping) easier.
- A tip is optional. ฿50–100 for an hour is normal; give it to the therapist directly.
- If you are offered anything that isn’t on the price board, decline once and clearly. You only owe the posted price for the massage you had.
- Withdraw cash before you go. Thai ATMs charge foreign cards a fee per withdrawal (approx. ฿220 or more), so take out enough in one go. The Pattaya money guide has more.
Where prices are lowest
- Soi Buakhao and the streets around it: a dense run of shops used by long-stay residents, usually at the bottom of the price range.
- Second Road: plenty of choice, often ฿50–100 an hour above the back streets.
- Beach Road: convenient but the most tourist-priced.
- Jomtien Beach Road: simple beachside massage on mats and loungers, priced similarly to street shops.
Getting between them by baht bus costs ฿15 for rides up to 10 km (fare from 10 April 2026). See getting around Pattaya.

FAQ
How much is a full body massage in Pattaya?
At a normal street shop, a one-hour full body Thai massage costs about ฿250–350 and a one-hour full body oil massage about ฿350–600 (approx., October 2026). Spa chains charge more: Health Land lists ฿700 for a two-hour Thai massage, and Let’s Relax at Terminal 21 lists ฿1,600 for a one-hour warm oil massage.
What is the cheapest massage in Pattaya?
A foot massage or a short back and shoulder massage at a street shop, usually from about ฿200–300. For a full body treatment, traditional Thai massage at a Soi Buakhao or back-street shop is the cheapest, at about ฿250 an hour.
Is Thai massage or oil massage better value?
Thai massage is cheaper and better for stiffness and tight muscles. Oil massage costs more because of the table, linen and oil, and it is the better choice if you want to relax.
Are spa massages in Pattaya worth the extra cost?
They buy a quieter room, a shower and fixed, published prices, not necessarily better technique. Health Land’s two-hour Thai massage (฿700) costs about the same per hour as a Beach Road street shop, so it is a reasonable middle ground.
How much should I tip for a massage in Pattaya?
Tipping is optional. ฿50–100 for a one-hour massage is normal, a little more for a long session or if the therapist was excellent. Hand it to the therapist directly.
Do I need to book a massage in Pattaya?
Street shops are walk-in. Spa chains and hotel spas are worth booking a day ahead, especially at weekends and on Thai public holidays.
