If you want to enjoy a pure Thai massage for tired feet, Lan is the absolute choice, this Thai massage club officially recommended by the Thai Consulate in Shanghai has received many Thai dignitaries visiting Shanghai, and is considered to be the most authentic Thai massage location in Shanghai. In 2017, it was named the best SPA brand by Chance magazine, and That's Shanghai media awarded the best service SPA of the year to Lan.
Technicians are Lan's strengths. At first, there were not many branches and the scale was still small, and most of the technicians in Lan were directly hired from Thailand, and they all held the qualification certificate recognized by the Kingdom of Thailand and had more than 10 years of experience. Later, the scale was expanded and the number of branches increased, and Lan introduced Chinese massage technicians and re-diverted Thai technicians. According to the introduction, the probability of encountering Thai technician services in Xintiandi store will be relatively large.
One detail to tell if a Thai massage is authentic: Authentic Thai massage, no matter what you do, foot washing is the first step. Lan offers services with a Thai twist, including ancient methods, aromas, herbs and focus massages. The ancient massage is actually Thai massage, and Thai massage technicians will use techniques such as pushing, pulling, kicking, shaking, and stepping to press the feet and waist, which can be called the most intense massage method today.
The "head-to-toe" project in the ancient massage is worth trying, in addition to the traditional ancient massage, the foot massage is added, and the technician stimulates the plantar reflex area with skillful techniques and rounded small wooden sticks, which is more painful, suitable for people who are more painful. However, if you don't massage regularly and your body is not very strained, it is not recommended to experience the ancient method, and Rosewood will be more suitable for you. The Aroma Massage is an oil massage that uses natural Thai essential oils to massage the body in a soothing motion, with the main effect of relaxing and nourishing the skin. Lan's technicians are well-trained, soft-spoken during the massage, and there is no case of selling cards. Each technician has a QR code that can be used to tip if she is satisfied with her performance. At the end of the massage, tea and homemade Thai snacks such as mango sticky rice and coconut milk cake are served to you.
There are currently five orchids in Shanghai, the first of which opened in 2013, tucked away in a century-old building on Jinxian Road, with lotus murals, wooden and rattan furniture and Buddha statues everywhere on the walls. The newly opened stores such as Xintiandi store and Jinhongqiao store have incorporated elements of the Thai Royal Palace in their decoration design, which looks magnificent and the facilities are also updated.
In the Lan shop, most of the products and ornaments come from Thailand, such as natural essential oils, Thai herbal bags, coconut oil, toiletries and other goods, as well as Thai clothes worn by customers during massages, Buddha statues as decorations, etc., all purchased directly from Thailand by the owner.
