Finding a Quality Massage Center on Koh Samui

As we briefly touched upon above, the popularity of the Thai massage among tourists has caused an influx of massage parlors and centers opening up in major tourist hubs — and Koh Samui is no exception. Take a walk down the main beach road in places like Chaweng or Lamai and you're bound to see a huge amount of small, independently owned massage and spa operations.

That's not to say that they're all bad though. It pays to do your research before choosing a massage center, and with Koh Samui being such a popular destination, any massage center worth considering will undoubtedly be mentioned online or in printed publications. As a rule of thumb, it's recommended you avoid any massage centers that either don't look too busy or aren't mentioned anywhere as unfortunately a fair share of centers on the island tend to employ unqualified masseuses or engage in other dubious practices.
