An affordable independent spa in Phuket
Let’s Relax Spa has been around in Thailand for a few years now, and it started in 1998 with a single shop in Chiang Mai. There are now more than 30 branches around Thailand, including seven spas in Phuket. Let’s Relax fills the gap between tiny street massage parlours you can see by the dozen on the side of roads and the more sophisticated hotel spas. We tried Let’s Relax on two occasions, at Patong Beach and at Boat Lagoon Marina. As always, this is not a sponsored story; we paid for our treatments and came unannounced.
Where does Let’s Relax Fit?
Roadside shops are cheaper but very inconsistent in quality and cleanliness. You never know what you will get. Some are a bit dodgy and are more male-oriented, but it is not always apparent from the outside. You can get a decent massage, but it is a bit of a lucky draw.
Hotels spa range from good to fantastic in 5-star resorts Such as Banyan Tree, but the price also ranges from expensive to staggering. Those high prices are not unjustified, but not everyone is ready to spend a lot on a treatment when traveling on budget. Hotels spa also feels a little complicated and formal to deal with.
Let’s relax as an independent franchise fills this gap. Prices are affordable, they offer a large range of treatments at the right price, and you can walk in casually.

On the good side
The list of treatments is long and attractive, prices are reasonable if you get a good therapist. It is easy to access and get a good massage without a booking and without a wait.
On the not so good side
With so many shops around Asia, therapist skills can vary quite a lot. Staff can be more or less attentive.
