Chiang Mai is Thailand's massage heartland. Ancient technique, deeply trained therapists — and very little English. Your Massage Pass lets them do what they do best, exactly the way you need it.
Chiang Mai's therapists are often trained for years at traditional schools. They're exceptional — but English instruction is minimal. Communicating subtleties like 'gentle on the neck, firm on the upper back, please skip the left hip' requires your pass.
Your Massage Pass shows these to your therapist automatically — you never have to say a word.

Common requests
Your pass handles all of this — and more — automatically. No memorizing required.
What to expect — and why your preferences matter for each one.
Slower, more meditative than Bangkok-style Thai massage. Uses deliberate pressure along energy lines. Specify your pressure — the default varies by school.
Steamed herb pouches are pressed into the body. Note any herb allergies in your pass.
Deep stretching combined with acupressure. Tell your therapist about any mobility limitations upfront.
More common at modern Chiang Mai spas. Specify pressure level — some therapists default heavy.
Tipping
50–100 THB per hour is standard. At massage school clinics prices are lower and tips are very appreciated.
Pro tip
Consider booking at a traditional massage school — prices are lower and therapists are formally trained. Your Massage Pass works just as well there as at any boutique spa.
