Greetings from Rat Chiang Saen Road. April Massage is a small neighbourhood shop with one published price, ฿350 for an oil massage, and long hours from 08:30 to 22:00. It suits travellers staying around the Old City and Chiang Mai Gate who want a cheap, no-fuss massage, early or late. Reviewers mostly describe skilled, traditional Thai massage and a nice lady in charge. Skip it if you're looking for an adult venue: it appears in another adult directory, but nothing it publishes, and nothing in its reviews, points that way. With only nine Google reviews, including one scathing one, it's also a bit of a lucky dip.

April Massage is at 18/2 Rat Chiang Saen Road, Tambon Hai Ya, in the area we file under Old City and Chiang Mai Gate. It has no website and publishes no menu beyond a single price, so the picture comes from its Google listing and a handful of reviews.

Those reviews describe a modest shop offering real Thai massage and oil massage, and one says the owner does the massaging herself. One reviewer mentions a private room at the back, and another says the shop was able to fit around their schedule. One reviewer admits the shopfront looks a little shabby but went in anyway and was glad they did.

The only item on recorded price information is Oil massage (no duration listed): ฿350. One reviewer paid the same ฿350 for an oil massage. Prices for Thai massage and session lengths aren't published, so ask at the door.

There's no published booking channel, payment method or language list, so walking in is the only option on record.

It's open every day from 08:30 to 22:00, early enough for a morning massage before a day trip. Chiang Mai has no metro: walk from guesthouses around Chiang Mai Gate, or take a Grab, a red songthaew or a tuk-tuk. One reviewer dropped in on the way back from a night market. For more choice nearby, see our Night Bazaar shortlist and the Chiang Mai guide.

Budget travellers who want a quick, honest Thai or oil massage at a local price, at almost any hour of the day. It doesn't suit anyone after an adult massage; for that, start with our happy ending list for Chiang Mai.

April Massage has a 4.3 Google rating from 9 reviews, so there's not much to go on. Most are short five-star notes praising a skilled masseuse, a nice owner and real Thai massage; one mentions a relaxing visit with a private room at the back and staff who fitted around their plans. A Korean reviewer gives four stars for a firm ฿350 oil massage in a shop that looked shabby from outside. The one outlier is a one-star review calling it the worst massage ever, with a therapist who seemed new to the job.
