Sabai Siam สบาย สยาม Book on WhatsApp

The salon

A small room,run properly.

Sabai Siam is not a resort spa and does not pretend to be one. It is a neighbourhood salon on the Lamai road, run by therapists who do this every day.

How we work

Traditional nuad thai is a sequence, not a set of random pressure. It follows lines through the body, opens the joints in order, and finishes where it started. Our therapists learned it that way, and they still work that way, whether the room is full or you are the only guest of the afternoon.

What changes is the pressure and the pace. Say softer and it becomes softer — you will not be talked out of it, and nobody will decide on your behalf that you can take more.

The room

Cool, low light, quiet, and clean in the way that people notice without being told. Fresh linen for every guest. Somewhere to leave your things where you can still see them.

There is fruit and a cold drink afterwards. It is not a ceremony — it is simply what you want after an hour face down.

What to bring

Nothing. Loose clothing is provided for Thai massage, and there is somewhere to rinse off the oil or the scrub before you go back out into the day.

Come as you are, off the beach or off the bike. This is not the kind of place where you need to dress for the lobby.

Four things we hold to

  1. The price on the wall is the price. No extras discovered at the counter, no selling on the table.
  2. The hour is a full hour. It starts when the treatment starts, not when you walk through the door.
  3. Your pressure, your call. Ask for lighter or stronger at any point, as often as you like.
  4. One guest at a time. Nobody is hurried out because the next booking arrived early.

Questions we get asked

Can I choose the pressure?
Yes, at any point during the treatment and as often as you like. Say lighter or stronger and it changes immediately. You will never be told that you should be able to take more.

Come and see the room

The easiest way to know whether a salon suits you is to walk into it. We are open every day, and there is no obligation to book anything once you are through the door.
