It has been brought to my attetion, that some Massage Parlors are attempting to extort customers from more then they should be paying.
The massage scam works a little bit like this, walk into a parlor and start with a massage - everything will be going fine until they decide to on-sell to you. I have been informed that at times, customers are been treated very rough until they agree to buy another service from the parlor.
This practice is been used out side the main area's of Phuket (Kata, Karon, ect ect) - I would advise all tourists to ensure you are going to a parlor that is viewable to the out side public so that the staff will be to scared to try anything like this.
Thailand Massage also had the pleasure of going to the C&N Hotel in Phuket to try a massage. The staff are all older (40+) and all have 15+ years experience in the massage industry. The cost is rather expensive (starting at 500 BAHT) but this will come with free drinks, food and coffee.
Staff will take you do the massage therapy center or they will come to your room. There is a 100 Baht surcharge for staff to work in your room.
