HCMC is one of Asia's best cities for hotel room massages. Your therapist is professional and skilled — but communicating your exact preferences in Vietnamese before they arrive changes everything.
You're in your hotel room. The therapist arrives. You try to explain 'medium pressure, focus on lower back, please avoid my left shoulder.' It's awkward, slow, and often misunderstood. Your pass solves this before the session starts.
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.
Traditional Vietnamese pressure-point massage. Can be intense — specify your pressure preference clearly.
Relaxing full-body oil massage. Good for travel fatigue. Default pressure varies by therapist — set yours in advance.
River stones heated and placed on the back. Note heat sensitivity or skin conditions in your pass.
Traditional Vietnamese cupping therapy. If you don't want it, note it in your pass — therapists sometimes offer it without asking.
Tipping
50,000–100,000 VND (≈ $2–4) is appreciated for a good in-room session. Not mandatory but warmly received.
Pro tip
In-room hotel massages are the norm in HCMC — your therapist travels to you. Sending your Massage Pass link before they arrive means they can prepare and show up ready.
Fill in your preferences in 2 minutes. Get a private link. Share it with any therapist in Ho Chi Minh City before your session — they'll see it in Vietnamese. No miming, no misunderstandings.
