Rawai Massage by Blind — what the reviews actually reveal
Overall Google rating: 4/5 from 9 reviews. The guest feedback paints a sharply mixed picture: pockets of enthusiastic praise and specific warnings about staff, booking and consistency. Below I unpack the details visitors mention most so you can decide whether to try this place in Rawai.
Booking reliability: expect inconsistency with phone and WhatsApp
Multiple guests reported trouble getting confirmed bookings. One recent reviewer said the phone is rarely answered and that promised WhatsApp confirmations often never arrive. Treat remote booking attempts as uncertain; plan a backup if you must secure a slot.
Which therapists and treatments do reviewers recommend?
One frequent-visitor reviewer listed three specific therapists by name — BanTao, Abdu and A — and advised visiting them in that order. The same reviewer strongly recommended taking Tai massage and only booking sessions of two hours or longer, claiming noticeable body changes after several visits. These are precise, repeatable recommendations from a guest; consider requesting those names and the 2-hour Tai treatment when available.
Skill variance: why some guests rave and others warn
Reviews show wide outcome variance. Some guests called it the best massage they had experienced, while others described serious problems, including a claim of injury described as a broken neck after treatment by one therapist. That contrast suggests inconsistent therapist skill levels or mismatched therapist-client pairing. Prioritize clear communication about pressure and problem areas before the session to reduce risk.
Staff profile, price signal and on-table etiquette
Guests noted the salon employs visually impaired masseurs; one reviewer explicitly said the massages are performed by blind practitioners. That same reviewer mentioned a price point reported as 150 baht for one hour, and characterized the style as good value for that rate. Another guest described a therapist burping and passing gas during the session; they framed it as relaxed behavior rather than rude, but it may unsettle some clients. Expect a no-frills, candid atmosphere rather than formal spa etiquette.
Location context you can use
The salon sits near local conveniences and lodging, with nearby references such as ModMart and Baan Ward Seaview, plus a cluster of restaurants and bars in Rawai. If you stay or eat nearby, the location is convenient for a short visit between other activities.
Actionable tips from reviewers — practical steps before you go
- Try to contact the shop but be prepared for no reply; if your schedule is tight, seek an in-person arrival window as a backup.
- If you want the most consistently positive reports, ask specifically for BanTao, Abdu or A and request a 2-hour Tai massage as one reviewer attributed strong results to that pairing.
- Set expectations at booking: state pressure preferences and avoid high-risk neck manipulation if you have cervical issues.
- Budget-conscious travelers can expect rates in the neighborhood of 150 baht per hour based on guest reports; confirm current pricing in person or via message.
- Prepare for an informal atmosphere; if personal decorum during treatment matters to you, mention boundaries up front.
- If you receive a poor experience, note the therapist by name when giving feedback so the salon can address consistency issues.
Final assessment — who should try Rawai Massage by Blind?
Try this place if you want an affordable, local-style Thai/Tai session and are open to working with visually impaired therapists who several guests say are skilled. Avoid it if you need strict, predictable service, formal spa etiquette or have fragile neck/back conditions. Positive and negative reviews sit side by side; the difference often comes down to which therapist you see and how clearly you communicate boundaries before the session starts.
Note: every recommendation above comes directly from guest feedback; check availability and confirm price before visiting.
