Welcome

A retreat for body and mind in the old city

THATI retreat & spa sits on Soi Suriyawong 1 in Hai Ya, about a five-to-seven-minute walk from Chiang Mai Gate, close to Wua Lai and Tha Pae roads. It offers traditional Thai massage and holistic spa treatments in a warm, home-like setting, with private treatment rooms, herbal soaking tubs and a herbal welcome drink. Parking is available in front of the spa.

The name comes from ธาตุ (thât), the Thai word for the four natural elements of earth, water, wind and fire, and echoes ญาติ (yâat), “family”: care that feels like home.

“Of the many massages I’ve spoiled myself with, this was one of the best. It’s the right amount of serenity, cleanliness, and professionalism. My masseuse, Fah, had the right amount of pressure and skill for me … I did the head, hand, and foot massage for 90 minutes. Highly recommend!”

“I went here with my mother in law and I had hot oil massage for 1 hour. … One of the best massages I’ve had during my 2 years in Chiang Mai. And they did an awesome job for my head massage. They also did a bit of face acupressure during the head massage. … I would love to come back and make this place as my regular place.”

“Very welcoming staff. They really helped us to relax and gave us a great first experience here. They washed our feet in a bowl before taking us up to the room for our Thai massage. The massage was very good and I loved the stretching. … The reception area was beautiful and upon our return there was hot tea and a small snack awaiting us. Very pretty set up.”
