Massage In Malaysia - Fun & Precaution

[cifun]

A forum guest as about prices and massage in Malaysia in January. This info may be late but bet it is still very useful .

With precaution ,like in any other countries ,in particular, developing countries, massage experience can be really pleasurable. The least one expects after a pleasurable massage is to get ripped off !

It is useful to know (particularly those newbie to Malaysia) that there were some very recent reports of nasty experiences where money were stolen off your wallet during your massage session ! This happens when you are asked to leave your clothing in a small closet in your personal massage room. Sound safe right? NO !

It is believed that some of these places have secret window behind the closet to work through your wallets while you enjoy your massage ! Watch out for those 'runner' on the streets offering massage services for a song. The catch is , nothing is free. However, it does not cost you an arm or leg to enjoy a massage in Malaysia.

Established outlets in reputable shopping complex like Sunway Pyramid, Berjaya Time Square, Megamall , Starthill, in Kuala Lumpur , or Queensbay Mall and Gurney Plaza in Penang are safe bet. Smaller one along Bukit Bintang are reported to be ok.

Most established massage outlets in Malaysia have a fixed price for the various spa or massage packages offered. In the absence of one, it never hurts and neither rude to ask for the price list prior to the massage session.

Have fun folks!

I living in SEA more than 3 years. Best massage you enjoy in Saigon. Thai massage some OK, Malay massage almost zero quality.

I agree with the last post. Basic massages at the typical massage joints in Malaysia aren't really that cheap, unless your into the major spas...if you into a full packaged spa at a nice resort then its pretty good, but again you will pay more.

The ones at bukit bintang are pretty fine, but i encountered some pretty bad service at sunway. =/
