Thai Sabai was an interesting experience. Prior to this, I had only been to "day-spa-type" places (ie. Burke Williams)
Overall, I had a good massage. They give you shorts to wear and an open-back halter top. The woman used just enough pressure and eased off when I told her to. She was skilled in that her strokes were all along my pressure points. I told her I had pain in my shoulders and arm, so she used some analgesic balm (smelled minty) while massaging those areas. There were some simple stretches at the end, which made me feel I was at a physical therapist, but it was for only like 5 minutes.
I didn't like the fact that the room was not private. For 1/2 my massage, the woman in the next curtain over was moaning and groaning -- NOT relaxing. The other thing I didn't like was the gluteus maximus massage. I realize there are pressure points there, but I should have told her to stop the minute she started massaging my butt. So that is my own fault. Getting a massage on a mat on the floor didn't bother me. Sometimes she used her foot to massage my legs, but there was a blanket covering my legs at the time.
Most likely, I won't go back to Thai Sabai, But I will continue to try other "no frills" massage places.
Pros: good price ($65 for 90 minutes); skilled staff
Cons: semi-private room; cash only; metered parking (ok in the evenings)
