2 hour Siam Massage with Thai and Foot Massage at Fah Lanna Spa

Fah Lanna Spa combines a traditional Thai massage with foot reflexology in a private room, making this more than a quick foot rub between sightseeing stops. I like the calm tropical garden and the practical comforts, including loose clothing, an en-suite shower, luggage storage, ginger tea, and a snack afterward.

I also like the choice of morning, afternoon, or evening appointments, plus the easy-to-find Old City address. The main consideration is the massage style itself. Thai massage uses pressure and assisted stretching, so it may not suit you if you prefer a gentle oil massage or dislike firm bodywork.

Key points to know before booking

• Two treatments in one visit: Your two-hour session combines Thai body massage and foot reflexology.
• Private facilities: The treatment takes place in your own room with an en-suite shower and toilet.
• A peaceful Old City setting: Water features, tropical planting, and an herbal welcome drink help put you at ease before the massage.
• Useful before or after sightseeing: The spa can store luggage, and the on-site cafe serves Thai and international food.
• Arrive 15 minutes early: You need time to complete the consultation card, and arriving more than 15 minutes late can put your appointment at risk.
• Good value for a polished spa: At $53.13 per person, this costs more than a basic local massage but includes a full two-hour package and upscale surroundings.

What the two-hour Fah Lanna treatment includes

The experience is built around two classic Thai wellness treatments. You begin with a traditional Thai massage, followed by foot reflexology. The order matters if you are planning the rest of your day: you will finish relaxed, and perhaps a little sleepy, rather than ready for a fast-paced activity.

Thai massage is different from a standard Western massage. It generally involves firm pressure, assisted movement, and stretching rather than a long application of massage oil. One useful point from the available feedback is that the treatment suited people who wanted a genuine Thai massage, but not everyone prefers that style.

If you are new to Thai massage, tell the practitioner during the consultation if you want lighter pressure. The consultation card gives you a chance to flag concerns before the treatment begins. You should use that moment rather than trying to tolerate pressure that is too strong.

The foot reflexology portion gives the session a different rhythm. After the broader body treatment, attention shifts to your feet and lower legs. This can feel like a useful finish after walking around Chiang Mai’s Old City, where temple visits and market stops often involve plenty of time on your feet.

Arriving at Fah Lanna Spa in Chiang Mai’s Old City

The spa is at 57 and 57/1 Wiang Kaew Road in Si Phum, within Chiang Mai’s Old City. The location is near public transportation and has been described as easy to find, but you should still plan your route carefully and aim to arrive 15 minutes before the appointment.

That extra time is not wasted. You need to complete the consultation card, settle in, and avoid starting the treatment in a rush. If you arrive more than 15 minutes after your scheduled time, the spa reserves the right to give the slot to someone else.

Late arrival does not automatically mean a refund. A late booking may be moved to another time or date if a room and massage practitioner are available, but that is not guaranteed. I would treat the appointment time as firm, especially if you are coming from another part of Chiang Mai.

The spa can safely store your luggage at reception during the massage. This is handy if you are between hotels, checking out, or carrying shopping bags from the Old City. You should still keep valuable items with you or follow the spa’s storage instructions.

A tropical garden and herbal welcome drink

Before treatment, you are served an herbal drink and given loose, comfortable clothing. These small details matter because they help you shift from sightseeing mode into a slower pace.

The setting is one of the stronger parts of the experience. Fah Lanna uses tropical planting and water features to create a quiet break from the city. You are still in central Chiang Mai, but the garden gives the spa a more secluded feel.

I like this part because it adds atmosphere without requiring a separate activity. You can enjoy a peaceful setting before the massage, then return to an air-conditioned area afterward. The combination is useful in Chiang Mai’s heat, particularly if you have spent the morning walking outdoors.

The available comments also praise the facility’s cleanliness and overall presentation. One person described the spa as beautiful and the treatment as first class. Another said the setting was easy to find and good value for the money. Those details suggest that the appeal is not only the massage itself, but the complete setting around it.

Inside the private treatment room

The treatment takes place in a private room for your group, not in a large shared massage hall. The room includes its own shower and toilet, which gives you more privacy and makes the two-hour appointment easier to manage.

You are provided with loose clothing for the treatment. That is particularly helpful if you arrive in travel clothes or have spent the day in regular sightseeing clothes. You do not need to plan around bringing your own massage outfit.

A private room also makes this suitable for couples, families with adult children, or solo visitors who prefer a quieter setting. The activity is private, so only your group participates. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

The treatment room is a practical feature rather than a flashy extra. You can change, use the bathroom, and shower without leaving the spa’s private area. For a two-hour appointment, that convenience is worth noticing.

The massage style: firm, traditional, and not for everyone

The most important decision is whether you actually want a Thai massage. It is not simply a standard massage with a Thai label. The traditional style can include firm pressure and assisted stretching, and one piece of feedback makes the limitation clear: Thai massage was not the person’s preferred massage type, though it was still considered a worthwhile experience in Thailand.

That is useful advice. I would recommend this package if you want to try a recognized Thai treatment and are comfortable with a more active style. If you want a soft, oil-based massage where you lie still for two hours, you may prefer another treatment.

You can improve your chances of a good appointment by explaining your comfort level during the consultation. If you have a specific area that needs attention, this is the time to mention it. The provided information does not identify individual practitioners, so you should not expect to choose a named therapist from the details available.

The two-hour length is generous. You get enough time for both the body massage and foot treatment, rather than squeezing each into a short add-on. Still, two hours can feel long if you are unsure about Thai massage or are sensitive to firm pressure.

Foot reflexology after the body massage

Foot reflexology follows the Thai massage. This creates a useful contrast: the first part works across the body, while the second focuses on your feet.

For me, this pairing makes sense in Chiang Mai. You may spend much of your holiday walking between temples, cafes, markets, and transport stops. A foot-focused treatment at the end can feel especially welcome after a busy day.

The package is not presented as a medical treatment, and you should not book it expecting a cure for a health condition. Its stated purpose is relaxation and improved circulation. If you have a medical concern, discuss it before treatment and decide if massage is suitable for you.

The foot session also makes the package appealing to couples with different preferences. One person may be looking forward to the traditional body massage, while the other may be most interested in the foot treatment. Both are included in the same two-hour appointment.

Ginger tea, a snack, and the on-site cafe

After the massage, the practitioner brings you to an air-conditioned area for homemade ginger tea and a light snack. This is a welcome pause before you return to Chiang Mai’s streets.

Ginger tea is a fitting finish after a treatment that may leave you pleasantly loose and relaxed. You should give yourself a few quiet minutes afterward rather than rushing straight into a tightly scheduled temple visit.

The spa also has an on-site cafe and restaurant serving Thai and international food. This can turn the appointment into a longer break in your day. One particularly useful detail is that a spa package with a 300 THB voucher per person was described in the feedback, but that voucher is not listed among the inclusions for this specific experience. Do not assume food credit is included unless your booking clearly says so.

The cafe itself received strong praise for its food. You can add a meal if you want to stay on the property, but the information provided does not say that food is part of the $53.13 package. Check the terms of your own booking before ordering.

The spa shop and garden make the visit feel complete

After treatment, you can browse exclusive spa products in the on-site shop. This is a simple option if you want to take home a spa-related souvenir rather than another standard market purchase.

The garden, water features, cafe, restaurant, and shop give you reasons to linger. You are not limited to entering for a massage and immediately leaving. I like this because it makes the experience work as a relaxed half-day pause, especially if you schedule it around lunch.

At the same time, you should not assume the spa functions as a full sightseeing attraction. The main value is the two-hour treatment. The garden and cafe add comfort and atmosphere, but they do not replace Chiang Mai’s temples, markets, or museums.

Is $53.13 good value?

At $53.13 per person, this is not the cheapest massage in Chiang Mai. Local massage shops may offer shorter or simpler treatments for less. You are paying extra here for a polished facility, private treatment space, consultation, clothing, a full two-hour package, post-treatment refreshments, and access to the spa’s garden and other facilities.

The price looks strongest if you value comfort and presentation. If your only goal is the lowest possible price for a Thai massage, this is probably more than you need. If you want a clean, well-organized spa with a private room and two different treatments, the cost is easier to justify.

The available rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 14 reviews, with especially strong praise for the staff, cleanliness, setting, and massage quality. The comments also describe the spa as good value and recommend the cafe. The sample is not large, so I would use it as a helpful signal rather than a guarantee of a perfect appointment.

Best times to schedule your appointment

You can book in the morning, afternoon, or evening. Each option has a different use.

A morning appointment can start a slower day and leave you refreshed for lunch or sightseeing. An afternoon booking works well after temple visits, especially if the heat has worn you down. An evening appointment can provide a calm finish before dinner.

I would avoid placing a demanding activity immediately afterward. The massage may leave you relaxed, and the ginger tea and snack are designed to slow the pace. If you need to catch a flight or meet a strict tour schedule, leave plenty of extra time.

The experience takes about two hours, not counting arrival, consultation, changing, refreshments, and any time you spend at the cafe or shop. Plan on being at the spa longer than the advertised treatment length.

Who should book this experience

I would recommend this for you if you want a polished introduction to Thai massage without giving up the local treatment style. It works well for solo visitors, couples, families with adult children, and anyone looking for a break from Chiang Mai sightseeing.

It is also a good choice if you value privacy. The private room and en-suite facilities are more comfortable than an open shared room, particularly for a longer treatment.

You should think twice if you dislike firm pressure, stretching, or traditional Thai massage techniques. The package is not designed as a delicate relaxation massage. It is also less attractive if you are focused only on the lowest price.

For families, children must be accompanied by an adult. The information says most people can participate, but it does not provide specific guidance for particular medical conditions, injuries, or pregnancy. Ask the spa before booking if any of those apply to you.

Should you book Fah Lanna Spa?

Book it if you want two hours of traditional Thai massage and foot reflexology in a clean, private, attractive setting. The herbal drink, comfortable clothing, en-suite treatment room, ginger tea, garden, and optional cafe meal give the visit more polish than a basic massage stop.

I would not book it solely because it is cheap. At $53.13, the value comes from the full setting and added comfort, not from being the lowest-cost treatment in town. Arrive 15 minutes early, tell the practitioner what pressure you prefer, and leave enough time afterward to enjoy the tea rather than racing away.

Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the local start time. Cancellations or changes made later are not refunded or accepted, so keep that deadline in mind when arranging your Chiang Mai schedule.
