Sawaddee Thai Massage is a studio in central Wellington, with its shop at 86 Boulcott Street, Shop 2, at the top of the Plimmer Steps on Lambton Quay. The website describes its approach as modern remedial Thai massage, blending traditional techniques with modern therapy. Its treatments include traditional Thai massage, which combines acupressure, gentle stretching and assisted yoga poses, and a foot treatment that works on pressure points. There is also a sports massage, a massage for expectant mothers, and a scalp massage. A Thai herbal compress massage uses a heated pouch of aromatic herbs and spices, and Thai massage is also offered with aromatic essential oils.
The studio also offers a Skin Deep Manuka Honey facial with a deep cleanse, gentle exfoliation and scalp massage, and it presents short massages as a lunch-break option. Gift vouchers can be bought online or in store. The founder has more than 15 years of experience in New Zealand and Thailand, and the website says the team combines traditional Thai methods with modern therapeutic approaches. The herbal compress and the Manuka honey facial are the treatments the studio puts most weight on in its description.
