I guess it's a bit like anywhere, it may depend on who you get on whatever day you're there, but it appears the massage here is generally and consistently good. The sauna is hellishly hot, which is strangely great in this pretty hot place. The cost is about average for the town, but you get a real hour's massage, and... More

I had a great massage at this place. It is not a day spa place and is very basic so I would not recommend it if that is what you are looking for but if you just want a good massage it is great.

The sauna is no big deal, the facilities very downbeat. It's a very small potatoes travel adventure at a very small potatoes price. Locals tell me they sell the blood internationally. If you don't give blood at home, ask yourself why you're suddenly swept up to do so there (it's perfectly safe to do so). 'Better to give a donation... More

There are countless massage "shops" in the town but it was good to know that our money was going to such a good cause

Only 40k kip, or about US$5 (roughly 8,000 kip = US$1) and the massage was OK, but nothing special. If you are really on a budget try it - see a bit of how the locals live. I would bring your own towel or something to lie on if you don't want to lie on a mattress others have used.... More

This sauna means experiencing a unique evening. Once you entered, you think "is this really rated so well in tripadvisor?". Don't be misled by the basic interior. Sauna and thea are really great, being surrounded by nice Lao people as well and the massage is of high quality and great value for money.

Great massage that's for a good cause. Just walk in put your name down on the board for when you want a massage. Easy.

Old style, colonial feel, hardly any tourist, very cheap, massage 4 Euro per hour, sauna 1 Euro as long as you want. Sauna is small, divided per sex, and comes with free herbal hot tea to drink, there are lockers and changing rooms availale and there is a small shower room. Very relaxing, not very clean but who cares ?... More
