Budapest got you covered! Budapest is such an amazing city with its stunning architecture and beautiful parks. In Budapest, you can find a Thai massage parlour around almost every corner. Every place for Thai massage in Budapest offers a variety of massages, the most common are traditional Thai massage and oil massage. Even though there are some similarities between those two massage types, they are very different massage techniques. So, you should decide beforehand what kind of massage you want and communicate with the masseuse to make the massage the best experience it can be.
Whether you get a traditional or an oil massage prepare for your body to crack. Thai masseuse therapists love to crack your bones, in your fingers, toes, back and some even in your neck. The traditional Thai massage is not just a massage but an ancient healing practice in Thai culture. The client usually wears a loose, comfortable outfit for this dry massage and the practitioner applies deep pressure with their whole body. And by whole body, I really mean whole body. The masseuse might kneel or stand on you during the Thai massage.
A typical Thai massage is performed on the floor on a thin mat. Some benefits of a traditional Thai massage are improved blood circulation, mobility and immune system. The first time I had a traditional Thai massage was actually in Thailand and there I noticed that a traditional Thai massage is too strong for me. So, since then I always opt for relaxing oil massages whenever I go for a Thai massage Budapest was no different.
Good thing, that every massage parlour offers different kinds of massages. The difference between a traditional massage to an oil massage is obviously that the oil massage uses essential oils, so you need to undress for the oil massage. So, the masseuse still might kneel on top of you even when you have an oil massage. For me personally, even a Thai oil massage is sometimes too strong but that depends very much on what you prefer in a massage.
