Review · THAI MASSAGE & SPA
2 hour Siam Massage with Thai and Foot Massage at Fah Lanna Spa
Fah Lanna Spa turns a two-hour massage into a proper break from Chiang Mai’s temples, traffic, and heat. The treatment combines a traditional Thai massage with foot reflexology, then gives you time for ginger tea, a snack, and the spa’s tropical garden setting.
I like the private room with its own shower and toilet, and I like the thoughtful extras: loose clothing, a welcome herbal drink, luggage storage, and a cool rest area afterward. The main consideration is the Thai massage itself. It is not everyone’s preferred style, so if you want only a very gentle oil massage, this may not be your best match.

Key points to know before booking

- Two treatments in one visit: Your two-hour package includes a Thai body massage followed by foot reflexology.
- Private treatment room: You receive your massage in a room with an en-suite shower and toilet.
- Quiet extras before and after: An herbal drink comes before treatment, with homemade ginger tea and a light snack afterward.
- Convenient Old City location: Fah Lanna Spa is at 57 and 57/1 Wiang Kaew Road, close to public transportation.
- Useful for sightseeing days: The spa stores luggage at reception, making it handy before check-in or after hotel checkout.
- Book with time to spare: Arrive 15 minutes early. Arriving more than 15 minutes late can mean losing the appointment slot.
A calm pause in Chiang Mai’s Old City
Fah Lanna Spa offers more than a massage table and a quick goodbye. The visit is set up as a small ritual, beginning with a drink and a consultation, moving into a private treatment, and ending with tea and a snack in an air-conditioned area.
That structure matters in Chiang Mai. A morning of temple visits can leave you hot and dusty. An afternoon massage can reset your energy before dinner. An evening appointment can help you slow down after a full day in town. You can choose a morning, afternoon, or evening start, so the package fits neatly into several kinds of itineraries.
The setting also helps. The spa has tropical garden areas with water features, plus an on-site cafe and restaurant. You are still in the center of the city, but the spa gives you a clear change of pace from the streets outside.
The treatment itself takes place in your own private room. That is a useful detail for couples, friends, or anyone who prefers quiet over a shared massage area. The en-suite shower and toilet also mean you do not have to worry about finding a public changing area after treatment.

What happens when you arrive at 57 Wiang Kaew Road
The meeting point is Fah Lanna Spa in Chiang Mai’s Old City, at 57 and 57/1 Wiang Kaew Road. The location is near public transportation, and the spa is described as easy to find. The activity begins and ends at this same point.
Plan to arrive 15 minutes before your appointment. You will need to complete a consultation card, and arriving early gives you time to settle down rather than rushing straight into treatment. This is especially important if you are coming from a temple, market, or hotel across town.
At reception, you can safely store luggage during the massage. That makes this booking more useful than a standard spa visit if you have checked out of your hotel and still have several hours before leaving Chiang Mai.
The spa provides loose, comfortable clothing for the treatment. You do not need to arrive dressed for a massage, though you should still allow time to change and complete the consultation process.
You begin with an herbal drink while the staff prepare you for the session. It is a simple touch, but it helps separate the spa visit from the rest of your day. You are not being pushed straight from the sidewalk into a treatment room.
The two-hour Thai and foot massage package

The package is built around two treatments: a traditional Thai massage and a foot reflexology session. The total duration is about two hours, giving each part enough time to feel like a real treatment rather than a short add-on.
The Thai massage comes first. This is the main body treatment and the part most likely to shape your opinion of the package. One important point is that traditional Thai massage is not every person’s ideal massage style. One customer specifically noted that Thai massage was not their personal preference, though they still valued trying it while in Thailand.
That is fair advice. If you enjoy a traditional Thai approach, this package gives you a chance to experience it in a polished spa setting. If you prefer a very light, purely soothing treatment, you may find the style less suited to you. Mention any concerns on the consultation card and speak with the practitioner before the session begins.
After the body massage, you receive foot reflexology. This gives the treatment a second focus and makes the package feel more complete than a body massage alone. It is also a good fit if your feet have taken a beating from walking around Chiang Mai’s Old City.
The massage and foot treatment are carried out in a private room. You have access to your own shower and toilet, which is convenient after a two-hour session and useful when you want to change before heading back outside.
The spa does not list an individual practitioner by name for this experience, so you should not book expecting a specific therapist. The treatment is provided by Fah Lanna Spa’s staff, with the package designed as a private activity for your own group.
Herbal drinks, ginger tea, and the garden setting
The before-and-after details are part of what makes this feel like a full spa outing. Before treatment, you receive an herbal drink. Afterward, your practitioner brings you to an air-conditioned area for homemade ginger tea and a light snack.
That cool post-treatment space is welcome in Chiang Mai’s warm climate. It also gives you a moment to wake up slowly before returning to the city. A massage can leave you relaxed and slightly disoriented, so having tea and a snack rather than being sent straight to reception is a practical advantage.
The tropical garden areas add another layer to the visit. Water features and greenery create a softer setting than you might expect from a central-city address. You can spend a little time enjoying the surroundings, though the core booking remains the two-hour spa package.
The spa also has a cafe and restaurant serving Thai and international food. Food is not included in the basic package, but you can choose to eat on-site. An additional food option was especially worthwhile for one booking, with a 300 baht voucher per person available in that arrangement. Since the supplied package details do not promise that voucher, check the exact terms of your own booking before counting on it.
The cafe is useful if you want to extend the visit without arranging another stop. It also helps if your massage falls between meals. The spa shop sells exclusive spa products, so you can browse or pick up something to take home before leaving.

Is $53.13 good value for two hours?
At $53.13 per person, this is not the cheapest massage in Chiang Mai. You can find much simpler local massage options for less. The question is what you want your money to buy.
Here, the price covers a two-hour luxury spa package, local taxes, the Thai massage, and foot reflexology. You also receive changing clothes, a welcome herbal drink, a private room with an en-suite bathroom, post-treatment tea, a snack, and access to a well-maintained spa setting.
For me, that makes the price easier to justify when you value comfort and a polished setting. The private room and aftercare are meaningful differences from a quick neighborhood massage. The garden, cafe, restaurant, and shop also let you turn the appointment into a longer rest stop.
The value is strongest for a special occasion, a recovery break after several active days, or a couple who wants a shared spa experience without joining a large group. It is less compelling if your only goal is the lowest possible price for basic massage time.
The package is private for your group, but that does not mean you choose a named therapist or receive a bespoke treatment plan. The consultation card gives you a chance to note relevant preferences and concerns, but the listed service remains the same two-part package.
Timing your appointment around Chiang Mai sightseeing
A morning booking works well if you want to start a busy day feeling refreshed. You can have the treatment, take tea afterward, and continue sightseeing from the Old City.
An afternoon appointment may be the most practical choice for many schedules. You can visit temples or markets earlier, then use the spa as a break during the hottest part of the day. The air-conditioned resting area is particularly useful after walking outdoors.
An evening appointment gives you a quiet finish to the day. You can eat at the on-site cafe or restaurant afterward, then return to your hotel or continue with dinner plans.
Leave a buffer around the booking. The spa asks you to arrive 15 minutes early, and if you have not arrived within 15 minutes after the scheduled time, the appointment may be given to another customer. A late booking may sometimes be moved to another time or date if space and a massage therapist are available, but there is no guarantee and late bookings are not refundable.
The appointment ends back at the spa, not at your hotel. The activity information mentions transport back to your hotel in the spa description, but the meeting and end point supplied for this package is Fah Lanna Spa. If you need hotel transportation, confirm that directly before booking rather than assuming it is included.
Who will enjoy this Fah Lanna Spa visit?
I would recommend this experience to you if you want a comfortable, organized spa visit rather than a bare-bones massage. It suits couples, solo visitors, and families with children who are accompanied by an adult. The private format also works well if you prefer not to share a treatment room with people outside your group.
It is a good choice after several days of walking. The body massage addresses overall fatigue, while the foot reflexology gives extra attention to the part of you most likely to feel the miles.
It also suits visitors with an awkward travel gap. Luggage storage at reception can make the spa useful between hotel checkout and a later departure, although you should still confirm how much luggage the reception can handle if you have unusually large bags.
I would be more cautious if you dislike traditional Thai massage or want a treatment built around a specific medical concern. The service description does not promise a medical massage, a particular therapist, or a customized treatment beyond the consultation process.
Children must be accompanied by an adult. The package is available as a private activity, so only your group participates, but the information does not give a specific minimum age or child price.
Booking, cancellation, and small practical details
Confirmation is normally received at booking. If you book within three days of the travel date, confirmation may take up to 48 hours and depends on availability.
You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the local start time. Changes or cancellations made less than 24 hours before the appointment are not accepted for a refund.
The activity has a 4.4 rating from 14 reviews, with the strongest praise aimed at the staff, cleanliness, massage quality, setting, and cafe. The spa facility is repeatedly described as beautiful and first class, while the cafe earns particular approval for its food. Those details point to a visit that is about the whole setting, not just the hands-on treatment.
Still, keep expectations sensible. The package lasts about two hours, not an entire spa day. The herbal drink, tea, snack, garden, and cafe are pleasant additions, but the central purchase is the Thai and foot massage.
Should you book the two-hour package?
Book Fah Lanna Spa if you want a polished Old City setting, private treatment room, two different massage styles, and a calm place to sit afterward. At $53.13, you are paying for comfort, presentation, and the extras as much as for the massage itself.
Choose another option if the lowest price matters most, or if traditional Thai massage is not your style. For everyone else, this is a sensible way to build a genuine rest period into a busy Chiang Mai schedule. Arrive early, leave room in your day for tea or the cafe, and treat the appointment as more than a quick stop between temples.
