This post about Thai massage in Prague was recently updated
Believe it or not, Prague is overflowing with Thai massage parlors – I am talking about the ones that actually give a massage, not the sexual kind. I could recommend one of the fancy pristine, Formica and pinewood shiny kinds, that you can find in almost any hotel in the world; but here is one with character.
Thai Massage in Prague
Just off Staromestske Square on Celetna Street in the Old Town, you will see a modest sign for Thai Massage, and an unobtrusive entrance to a building that looks like it leads to someone’s apartment. On entering you are faced with a narrow staircase that seems to go on forever. At the top of the stairs, you walk into a reception area, the size of the average room in a house. It is dark and musky with shades of orange and red, a dying pot plant, and the smell of incense.
Authentic Massage in Prague
You can make an appointment or just turn up. Now you may feel like you are walking into a bordello, but you are not. Have a cup of green tea in teh waiting room then go through to the communal massage room. The massage women are from Thailand and are short matronly looking women. They politely lead you into a room with mats/thin mattresses laid out in a row. White sheets are hung up to partition you off from other guests. This means that if you come with friends you can get your massages side by side. For the standard Thai massage you are given shorts and a T-shirt to wear, then you lie down and start to relax. Wow! A piece of heaven.
How are the Thai Massages in Prague?
They really work you over, not missing a spot. Alternatively, you can have an oil massage in which case you would have to take your clothes off and are given a towel to cover your bits. The place is aptly named Thai World, as it is a world in itself not connected in any way to Prague. The beauty is also in the price, being Czech the money is pretty cheap and prices accordingly. You can also have a foot or head massage, and several other variations. There are other branches of Thai World, and other places where you can get a Thai massage in Prague, but this one is so central you can fit it in on your tourist route.
Other Places to Get a Thai Massage in Prague
The other massage parlor I tried in Prague was on Wenceslas Square, near the Starbucks. They are a quick in and out, fast service where everyone sits in the same room which virtually is open to the street. The prices weren’t great but it was very convenient, and close to our amazing hotel the Alcron Hotel Prague.
