Nida Thai Massage #1 is a small, intimate massage spot in Patong (Phuket), tucked away from the busy streets. Inside, there are only a few massage stations and a team of 3–4 therapists who work at an unhurried pace. The salon closes around 10:00 PM, so it’s best to come earlier.

The menu is straightforward: traditional Thai massage, oil massage, sports massage, and foot massage. The standout advantage is the pricing — rates start from 150 THB per hour (especially for foot massage), while many other treatments are around 300 THB. They also have massage tables with a face cradle, which makes longer sessions more comfortable.

The atmosphere is neat and pleasant: it’s clean, quiet, and there’s soft background music, so it’s easy to relax — whether you come as a couple or with the whole family. One thing to keep in mind is that the air conditioning is often set quite strong, so the room can feel chilly, particularly during an oil massage.

The quality can vary depending on the therapist and the technique you choose. Their sports massage tends to be thorough and effective, leaving you feeling “put back together,” while the classic Thai or oil massage can occasionally feel too gentle or superficial. It’s worth stating your preferred pressure upfront — sometimes they apply pressure that’s a bit too strong and can become uncomfortable.
