Panhom Massage — mixed reliability but clear value for short, budget treatments
Quick facts
- Overall rating 4.3 from 33 reviews
- Open daily 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM
- Multiple guests reported short treatments available; one documented foot massage 30 minutes for 200 baht
What guests consistently praised
- Friendly, welcoming atmosphere and generally good service reported by several visitors
- Clean massage area noted by at least one reviewer
- Complimentary tea and small confections served after the session
- Use of a muscle relaxing balm during at least one foot massage
- Staff able to handle basic transactions in English, according to one guest
- Easy access on foot or by motorbike; parking on the street exists but is limited
What guests warned about
- Service quality can be inconsistent between visits; one guest described a previous excellent treatment followed by a noticeably worse visit
- Serious unprofessional behavior reported in one long review: staff sleeping on site, a masseuse repeatedly leaving the room to check messages, and loud snoring from a person near the treatment area
- Two separate payment problems documented: an overpayment scenario where a 450 baht aromatic massage paid with a 1,000 baht note resulted in only 500 baht change returned, and another report of an attempt to charge for a full hour despite delivering only part of the session
Three practical visitor strategies based on guest reports
- Test with a 30-minute service first — several reviewers recommend short, lower-cost treatments such as the documented 30-minute foot massage for evaluating therapist skill before committing to longer sessions
- Confirm price and change up front — guests experienced change discrepancies and billing disagreements, so state the exact treatment and confirm the fee before the therapist begins
- Check the room environment quickly on arrival — one negative experience involved sleeping staff and audible snoring near the treatment curtain; if the setting feels inattentive, consider leaving or asking to reschedule with another therapist
How to reduce risk and improve your visit
- Bring exact cash or small bills to avoid change disputes
- Request an English-speaking staff member at check-in if you need clear price and time confirmation
- Arrive by foot or motorbike when possible due to limited street parking
- Ask before the session whether phone use is permitted during treatments if you prefer uninterrupted service
Short verdict for Phuket visitors
Panhom Massage shows clear strengths for budget-conscious visitors seeking quick foot or shorter treatments in Phuket: friendly staff, clean rooms, small comforts like tea and confections, and an advertised 30-minute foot massage for 200 baht. However, inconsistent service quality and at least two documented payment or professionalism issues mean this is a place to approach cautiously. Treat your first visit as an evaluation: pick a short, inexpensive treatment, confirm price and change up front, and avoid times when the shop appears understaffed or inattentive.
Good fit if you want an affordable short massage and are comfortable testing staff; avoid long sessions until you confirm consistent quality.
