Auckland Thai Massage, at 21 Swanson Street in the City Central, is a Thai massage place where the main treatment works with muscles, bones and joints and uses no oils. Pressure points and long stretches make up the Thai massage, and the firm style suits people who like deep pressure. Other sessions use oil, a gentle slow-hand relaxation massage, or a blend of Thai pressure and soft relaxing work. Sessions run 45 or 60 minutes, and the combination option adds a 20-minute foot or head massage. A facial sheet mask is also offered, along with three 100% essential oils to choose from before a massage.
Customers mention the welcoming staff, the clean rooms and the ginger tea that is served. Combination massages and neck and shoulder massages come up most often. One customer found the prices very reasonable for a well-established place, and another, who booked on a whim while staying nearby, called it one of the best massages they have had. One customer warns that the place is busy and recommends an appointment.
