The whole decor is to make you feel like you are in the woods, each massage room is a separate air-conditioned cabin, very clean! Before the massage, a questionnaire will be completed to understand your needs and a welcome drink (cold lotus tea on the day). The technician's moderate force, gave my waist and legs completely relaxed, then there was a head massage, comfortable to sleep! Be sure to press for 120 minutes is enough! After the massage will change clothes to the next shop to enjoy ginger tea and rice noodles (rice noodles are delicious!) It is worth mentioning that we arrived early that day and arrived at the cafe next door to have a good drink! (Remember to use wtspp to make an appointment with the store after purchasing)

Had a very good time with Rainbow and Victor. Went to Living Green Sanctuary for the Elephant feeding and bathing. Joined with other groups, had a sumptous vegan Pad Thai for lunch. Afterwards we went to Doi Inthanon and the Pagoda. Hiked for 2 hours to a local village, walking past thru a waterfall and a picturesque rice fields. Enjoyed a marvelous coffee and tea in the village then head back to the city. (If you don't want to hike, option would be to visit a bigger waterfalls) Worth it for a whole day packed adventure!

The local tidy technicians are accurate and convenient. There are parking spaces. I have been there many times and will continue to make reservations. Support.

Doi Suthep and Doi Suthep Temple can be visited in half a day. The driver's service is very good, but he is not familiar with the scenic spots. The chartered car took 8 hours and actually completed the trip in 4 hours. I suggested going to a farther place (elephant), but was told that it was not within the service range. It's a pity. In addition, you can go for a walk at Huitong Tao Lake and Chiang Mai University campus lake. Recommend going to a wonderland restaurant. Photography is available.

It’s very worth it. Basically, I choose makka & fah Lanna. I highly recommend both of them. But if you want to eat mango sticky rice, go to makka. This one is really worth it🫢

The massage is in place and comfortable. You can choose the focus massage position, intensity and non-pressure position. The environment is comfortable. There are drinks and fruits before and after pressing.

This Furuya branch is right next to the hotel we are staying in (same group as the hotel), and it is very convenient to walk for less than a minute. This time I chose Thai herbal ball massage. The masseur was very professional. The warm herbal ball pressed against my body felt very comfortable. It was so comfortable that I fell asleep several times. The delicious mango sticky rice is highly recommended for everyone to come here to enjoy a relaxing time both physically and mentally.
