Mahacheeva Thai Massage

Mahacheeva Thai Massage, written in Thai as Maha Cheeva Nuad Phuea Sukkhaphap, is a traditional Thai massage studio on Chao Fa Suan Luang Road in the Wichit area of Phuket Town. The name translates roughly as health massage, and the studio concentrates on therapeutic Thai massage rather than resort-style spa treatments.

It is a single, locally run shop with no other branches, and draws a steady stream of residents as well as visitors staying in and around Phuket Town. It is open daily from 10:00 to 22:00.

Bookings and updates are handled through the shop's Facebook page and by phone. Longer sessions and add-ons such as a herbal compress can be arranged on request; ask for lighter or firmer pressure at the start of the treatment.
