Warm and tranquil, this illustration captures the essence of traditional Thai massage, complete with soothing decor and ambient candlelight.

Nervous about your first Thai massage? Wandee Onehunga explains exactly what happens, what to wear, and answers common concerns. From $45 with no awkward moments.

"I've never had a Thai massage before. What should I expect? Will it be uncomfortable? Do I have to take my clothes off?"

These are the questions we hear daily at Wandee Thai Sports Massage on Onehunga Mall Road. If you're feeling uncertain about your first Thai massage experience, you're not alone – and we're here to put your mind at ease.

Common Customer Concerns Addressed

Concern #1: "Do I have to get undressed?"

Answer: Absolutely not! Unlike some other massage styles, traditional Thai massage is performed fully clothed in loose, comfortable clothing. We provide traditional Thai massage outfits, or you can wear your own loose gym clothes. No awkward changing required.

Concern #2: "Will it be painful?"

Answer: Thai massage should never be painful. Our skilled practitioners at Wandee communicate throughout your session, adjusting pressure to your comfort level. You might feel some stretching sensations, but it should feel good, not painful. We always work within your comfort zone.

Concern #3: "I'm not flexible – will that be a problem?"

Answer: Flexibility is NOT required! Our practitioners work with your body's current range of motion. We never force stretches. Many clients come to us specifically to help maintain and gradually improve their flexibility over time.
