Most of our work is office workers. I found that many friends around me, like me, have stiff shoulders and necks when using computers for a long time. In severe cases, they may also have migraines and insomnia.When you come to Bangkok, you must come to experience the ancient massage, let the master push and pinch to relax and return to Taiwan. I first recommend the Asia Herb Association, which is a store that will let people try to become patrons. (As a sincere recommendation of the store's VIP!)
The characteristics of ancient Thai massage
Ancient Thai massage has been passed down for hundreds of years. It is a common method of health care in Thailand. It uses Chinese medical theories to regulate the vital energy of the body, which is what we call "qi."In addition, Thai massage also combines "Indian Yoga" and "Chinese acupressure". It uses acupressure and various yoga postures to stimulate the blood circulation system of the whole body. It is a unique treatment that activates the acupuncture points and veins of the body!
As Thai massage has been popular for a long time, a tour guide once introduced that more Thai massage can help to improve a variety of diseases, relieve mental tension, fire fatigue, stimulate circulation and restore physical vitality.
Differences with Taiwan's acupoint massage services
After experiencing it myself, I really love this massage to relieve pressure. Unlike Taiwan’s massage, Taiwan’s masters always press on the acupuncture points... but it’s a very painful force, sometimes in order to relax our shoulders. I will use my fingers to touch the loose tendons, and after half an hour...the pain will be so strong that the tears will roll, and I will say "pain, pain".Most massages in Taiwan consist of a black "medical" bed with a hollowed-out head, and then use curtains as compartments. The bright lights are really hard to relax.
Services and prices of Asia Herb Association
You will know that the "Asia Herb Association" shop originated from the introduction of the book "Bangkok Fun Main Line". Because of the orange color and comfortable space, it became the first place in the first free travel in Bangkok in 2006. Perfect experience for the second time.At that time, the Asia Herb Association had only three branches. The main operator was the Japanese owner. She introduced Japanese-style service management, which was different from ordinary Thai massage shops. There were forms for customers to fill in and choose the strength they could accept. Strong, normal, weak" & hope to increase the body parts, so that Master can be closer to the needs of customers.
The branch we visit most often is the No. 2 branch, which is located at the MRT BTS Phrom Phong (Peng Phong) station. When you leave at Exit 5, you will see the Naraya main store at the entrance of the alley. If you continue to go inside, you will pass the Emporium department store and walk. It takes about 8-XNUMX minutes to arrive.
In the past, the largest customer groups in the store were Hong Kong and Japanese customers. I often see a male store manager serving in the store. He and the counter staff can communicate in English. In addition, the Menu has English, Japanese, and Chinese versions, which is convenient for everyone to choose. This part is also the reason why Taiwanese tourists are slowly attracted.When I visited last year, I didn’t make an appointment in advance. The manager told me that it would take at least 2~3 hours to serve us. The Asia Herb Association has been doing very well in the past two years. If you want to go for consumption, you must make an appointment by phone in advance. , So as not to fail and return.The number of customers served has increased significantly, and a fourth branch has also been opened at Lane 55 on Sukhumvit Rd. (Sukhumvit Rd.).
I don’t know where to start when I see the Menu?In fact, the service content in the store can be divided into "Thai ancient massage/Thai massage", "Essential oil massage" and "Herb ball massage". Choose two from the three, and look at whether you want a full body or partial massage.The masters in the store are all professionally trained, with proper finger strength and time control. Whether it is "Thai Massage Herb Ball Massage" or "Essential Oil Massage Herb Ball Massage", I highly recommend a combination.For patients with stiff shoulders that are dying, it is strongly recommended to choose a 2-hour course of treatment to relieve physical fatigue. (Believe me, an hour is just an itching for you, it doesn't help!)
The management of the staff in the store is quite serious. I have been to many Thai massages. The master in this room does not talk to each other. They are very dedicated to help you. So listen to the music of the soul and let the body leave the master. Press, plus the dim light in the room...whoo...it's easy to fall asleep. ^^b
You can collect points when you spend in the store. You can redeem a VIP card and give 10Hr free massage service when you collect 1 points. You can collect points and spend very hard to become a VIP customer. After that, you can get a 95% discount on the card.The following is the price list extracted from the official website. The purple frame represents the treatment course I personally recommend. If time permits, I suggest you try the four-hour treatment course. The supporting time can be increased or decreased by yourself. For example, if you want the herbal ball massage to be longer , You can tell the in-store service staff and ask him to help you adjust. Once when we were about to leave Bangkok, we picked an afternoon for a four-hour treatment. Not only did we have Thai massage, essential oils, herb balls, and exfoliation, we used Master Use your fingers to press from the soles of your feet to your whole body and head for an inch, and all your physical and mental fatigue is now free!When I left the store, I felt as if I was "light as a swallow." ^^
The point is that the four-hour treatment is only 1,620THB (Thai Baht), is it super cost-effective? (However, from the price list on the official website below, it seems that the price has increased to 2,070THB, which is still affordable.) However, if you have friends who can work as hard as I do to get VIP, it is not recommended to take a free one-hour massage to choose the face Massage, I have done...I think Taiwanese facials are really much better, and I think it’s a waste of free one hour to do facials!I advise you to choose the signature herb balls in the store!
