Best Authentic Thai Massage in London- Thai Kosai Review

As a person who suffers from back pain from sitting too much, it's not easy to find a genuine massage place that offers great service and quality. I want to talk about my experience trying out Thai Kosai's new Holborn branch in London recently as they were around the corner from where I lived. The brand recently opened a new branch of their massage shop in Holborn so I really wanted to try out their Thai massage as well as check out the venue. 

I decided to book a massage and went there on a Monday afternoon. I found the shop easily as it was a few minutes' walk from Holborn station, which was super convenient. The shop looked amazing on the outside and even better on the inside. I was greeted by a lovely lady who helped me put my bags away and led me to a clean, comfortable massage room. Take a look below at my photos of the branch! 

My overall experience went very well, and I experienced a deep Thai massage for 1 hour. The masseuse was extremely professional and asked me what strength I preferred. The massage went really well and she eased my back pain by stretching and kneading my back using her elbows. Thai massage is known for it's special techniques, including the use of the masseuses' body to offer a deeper pressure onto the muscles. I really enjoyed my deep Thai massage and it lasted for around 60 minutes. The masseuse kneaded my back, legs and arms, then worked on my front body which means that the experience was holistic and all-rounded. My whole body was relaxed and the salon was so comfortable that I felt like I could let everything go. 

Treatments are affordable, with a 60 minute massage costing 65 pounds, and a 90-minute one costing 95 pounds. This is really reasonable considering the shop's location in central London. 

The shop offered me some water after the massage and told me to rest, as the muscles would be tired after the treatment. I felt invigorated and refreshed, and had such a relaxing morning after getting the treatment. I had such a lovely time in the shop and an overall great experience. 

Overall, I think Thai Kosai was clean, friendly and extremely accessible for everyone living in London. I would highly recommend checking out this Thai massage shop if you want legitimate, authentic massages for a reasonable price.
