The essential oil used in the aromatherapy essential oil massage is relatively good, and the service is pretty good, but overall it feels a bit expensive. The Thai herbal ball massage is a bit hot, which may be a bit unbearable for tender skin, but the hot compressed area is quite relaxing.

The atmosphere, aroma, and kindness were all very good here. Especially, PU for me and AEE for my mom, I would like to meet you again next time. The touch is very soft and cool. I was so satisfied during the tiring trip and 100% willing to revisit.
