Most people have questions before they book a massage, and very few of them are about massage technique.
Which one should I choose? Will it hurt? Do I have to undress? Is this the right thing for a stiff neck?
These pages answer the questions Pailin is asked most often, honestly and without the marketing. They are written to help you decide whether a massage is what you need – including when the answer is that something else would serve you better.
Choosing the Right Massage
The most common question by far. Six treatments, and the differences matter less than most websites suggest – what matters is what you want from the hour.
Your First Visit
If you have never had a Thai massage, or never been to Sabaidee, these are the things worth knowing beforehand.
What Massage Can Help With
Written carefully. Massage is genuinely useful for some things and not a solution for others, and these say which is which.
Practical Questions
Short answers about arriving, paying, parking, vouchers and access are on the FAQ page, which is the quicker place to look.
Everything about getting here – transport, parking, the entrance – is on Find Us.
Prices for all six treatments, by length, are on the Prices page.
Still Growing
This is not a finished encyclopedia. New questions are added when clients ask them, which is a better guide to what is worth writing than any keyword tool.
Aftercare and Edinburgh-specific advice are being written next.
If there is something you would like answered here, tell Pailin. Several of these pages exist because someone asked.
If You Would Rather Just Ask
You do not have to work any of this out before you get in touch.
Most people arrive knowing only that they feel stiff, tired or tense, and that is genuinely enough to start with. Tell Pailin how you have been feeling, and she will recommend the treatment she thinks will help – which is not always the longest or most expensive one.
Appointments are arranged personally by WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, text or phone.
We’d Love to Welcome You to Sabaidee
Sabaidee is in Lochrin Buildings on Gilmore Place in Tollcross, a short walk from the King’s Theatre, within easy reach of Haymarket and the west end.
Every appointment is delivered personally by Pailin.
