"&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Each country has its unique massage methods, and so does Vietnam. The art of massage in Vietnam has extended outside the country, and now spas all over the world offer their own massage inspired by and drawing from Vietnamese techniques, and vise versa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;No matter what type you pick, going in for your first massage can be nerve-racking. When somebody&#039;s touching your body, it naturally wants to know what to expect. We&#039;ve got the rundown on six types of massages in Vietnam to help you prepare for your &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;blog/entry/12-best-beach-resorts-in-vietnam&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot;&gt;relaxing vacation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Notes:&lt;/strong&gt; all the massages mentioned in this guide are legitimate massages and legal services provided by professional spas and massages in Vietnam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #ff9900;&quot;&gt;Massage Techniques in Vietnam&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\n&lt;h4&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #008000;&quot;&gt;Vietnamese Massage Technique&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The traditional Vietnamese massage technique, or &ldquo;Tam quat&rdquo;, is a technique focusing on stimulating blood circulation by punching and clapping on the treatment areas. It relieves pain by putting pressure directly on the afflicted muscle to help you relaxed. It may sound rough to people who are unfamiliar, but the technique is very soothing and relaxing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;However, nowadays, in most spas in Vietnam, they do not have &ldquo;Tam quat&rdquo; in their service menus; they usually combine it with other techniques like those of Chinese, Swedish, Japanese, and Thai to create different types of body massages.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;images/easyblog_images/vietnamese_massage/vietnamese-massage-facial-massage.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;vietnamese massage facial massage&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src=&quot;images/easyblog_images/vietnamese_massage/vietnamese-massage-body-massage.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;vietnamese massage body massage&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The whole body massage will usually start with a facial massage; the masseur massages your forehead and cheek with their fingers, and then gently rubs against your eyes and the back of your neck. After that, your back, legs, and arms are massaged. And the acupressure points are pressed to increase the circulation you need to remove toxins and stress from your body. Finally, they will perform Tam quat, punching, and percussion on your whole body from the back to the legs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;You can also ask for additional services like 4-handed massages and cupping therapy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4-Handed Massage.&lt;/strong&gt; This technique is an elevated version of Tam quat, using the synchronization of clapping and punching of two masseurs. The purpose is to increase the speed and give you a simultaneous massage on the back and legs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; src=&quot;images/easyblog_images/vietnamese_massage/vietnamese-massage-4-handed-massage.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;vietnamese massage 4 handed massage&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cupping Therapy.&lt;/strong&gt; Cupping therapy is a unique form of massage that originated in China. Some people are frightened of this version after seeing photographs of people&#039;s backs littered with bruised, red marks from the cups. However, the practice isn&#039;t as painful as it looks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; src=&quot;images/easyblog_images/vietnamese_massage/vietnamese-massage-cupping-therapy-1.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;vietnamese massage cupping therapy 1&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;At first, the masseurs will move the heated cup across your back to loosen up the muscle. After that, the warm cups will be placed on the waist to shoulders for about 5 &ndash; 10 minutes. The technique is supposed to create a vacuum to draw in the cup a part of the flesh that needs treatment to relieve pain, tension, and prevent cramps by working through the muscles, which is why it is usually &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.si.com/edge/2016/08/10/rio-2016-olympics-cupping-therapy-benefits-michael-phelps&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot;&gt;used by many athletes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; src=&quot;images/easyblog_images/vietnamese_massage/vietnamese-massage-cupping-therapy-3.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;vietnamese massage cupping therapy 3&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Because of the side effects like red marks on the body, cupping therapy is not popular as it used to be and can be hard to find in modern spas. Only some traditional places practicing Eastern medicine may perform this technique. It should be performed by professionals as it requires applying correct heat to your body. And it is not recommended for people with heart disease, skin injuries, and women in menstruation or pregnancy. Make sure to explain to the therapists about your health conditions before the therapy to receive a consultation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;See also: &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;blog/should-i-try-fish-massage-in-vietnam&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Fish Massage in Vietnam&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;table style=&quot;height: 10%; width: 100%;&quot;&gt;\n&lt;tbody&gt;\n&lt;tr&gt;\n&lt;td style=&quot;background-color: #fcd9d9; border: 1px dashed #000000; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff9900;&quot;&gt;To have fun &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;featured-tours&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot;&gt;trips in Ho Chi Minh City&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff9900;&quot;&gt;, check out our authentic motorbike tours with professional local guides!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;\n&lt;/tr&gt;\n&lt;/tbody&gt;\n&lt;/table&gt;\n&lt;h4&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #008000;&quot;&gt;Other Massage Techniques in Vietnamese Spas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Hot Stones.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The stones&#039; surface is smooth, and they are heated to place on treatment areas like the neck, shoulder, back, or waist. The heat and the slight pressure of the stones will slowly make the muscle loosen up. Because heat is applied, the masseurs need to be skillful to handle it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Swedish Massage.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;This technique applies pressure to your body using circular motions to relieve muscle tension and is combined with oil to moisturize your skin. It is a gentle massage technique that is suitable for first-time customers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Shiatsu.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;It is a Japanese method of pressing on acupressure points. Even though the process may sound painful as the masseur will apply their body weight to add extra pressure, this technique is really relaxing as it improves your blood circulation. And you will not need to take off your clothes to receive this kind of massage if there is no oil treatment accompanied.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Thai Massage.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;This technique requires a lot of compressing and stretching to improve your body flexibility. It is sometimes considered passive yoga because the masseur will put your body in some yoga positions. And like Shiatsu, you can wear clothes during the treatment process.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;div id=&quot;adgshp1501468546&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;\n&lt;script src=&quot;//cdn0.agoda.net/images/sherpa/js/sherpa_init1_08.min.js&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;\n&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;\n\tvar stg = new Object();\n\tstg.crt = &quot;20512897997768&quot;;\n\tstg.version = &quot;1.04&quot;;\n\tstg.id = stg.name = &quot;adgshp1501468546&quot;;\n\tstg.width = &quot;900px&quot;;\n\tstg.height = &quot;258px&quot;;\n\tstg.ReferenceKey = &quot;7DWpJDKqzMJDq1KV2v9mcw==&quot;;\n\tstg.Layout = &quot;Oneline&quot;;\n\tstg.Language = &quot;en-us&quot;;\n\tstg.Cid = &quot;1808697&quot;;\n\tstg.City = &quot;13170&quot;;\n\tstg.DestinationName = &quot;Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam&quot;;\n\tstg.OverideConf = false;\n\tnew AgdSherpa(stg).initialize();\n&lt;/script&gt;\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #ff9900;&quot;&gt;A Beginner&#039;s Guide to Vietnamese Massages&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\n&lt;h4&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #008000;&quot;&gt;What to Expect When Coming to Vietnamese Massage Spas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Make a reservation in advance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Wear the spa&rsquo;s slippers before coming in, if any.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Change your clothes to the clothes or robs provided by the spa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;If the treatment involves applying oil or hot stone to your body, you will be asked to remove the robes or clothes and be half-naked during the process. The other part of your body will be covered with large towels.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Use the towels the spa provides when using the sauna because the room might be shared with other people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #008000;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Making a Reservation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Before coming to the spa, you need to make a reservation through phone calls or on their websites. Usually, you will be asked for your name, the number of people in your group, and of course the time for your appointment. The order can be made later at the spa. If you have any concerns about your health conditions that can affect the massage experience like skin injuries, menstruation, or pregnancy, you may also want to confirm with them at this point.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #008000;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Spa Menu and Ordering&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;You can sit on their lounge couch and choose the kind of massage you want from a menu, and there should be staff at the reception to take your order. Names of all the massages provided with correspondence price and sometimes technique explanation are included in the menu. But the staff at the reception can also help with consulting the massage of your need.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #008000;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Payment and Tips&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Some spas will ask you to pay upfront, but there are also other places where you can make the payment after the treatment. The &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;blog/vietnam-travel-information-tipping-in-vietnam&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot;&gt;tipping&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; terms should be printed on the menu like whether the prices have tips already included or will accept tips or not. If they are not printed, you may want to clarify this when making the order.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #008000;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Price&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;In Ho Chi Minh City, the price for a whole-body massage in 60 minutes usually varies between VND 300,000 &ndash; VND 600,000, and in 90 minutes at about VND 600,000 &ndash; VND 900,000. 4-handed massage, however, is charged a little bit more, about VND 800,000 &ndash; VND 1,000,000, because you have to pay for two masseurs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #008000;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Spa&rsquo;s Amenities and Facilities&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Amenities.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Before entering the spa, you will usually be asked to leave your shoes outside or in a locker and wear their slippers. Before the treatment starts, you may receive different amenities such as a warm towel, sweet treats, hot &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;blog/10-must-try-vietnamese-drinks-in-ho-chi-minh-city&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot;&gt;herbal tea&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; or any warm drinks made from natural ingredients, and some magazines to read while you wait for your turn. After the treatment, some things you may find useful in their changing rooms are extra towels, cotton Q tips, tissues, and combs. You may also be served with another treat like ice cream, hot ginger tea, or yogurt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; src=&quot;images/easyblog_images/2020/August/update_vietnamese_spa/drinks_and_hot_towel_vietnamese_spa.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;drinks and hot towel vietnamese spa&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Warm towels and drink&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; src=&quot;images/easyblog_images/2020/August/update_vietnamese_spa/vietnamese_spa_drinks_and_snacks.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;vietnamese spa drinks and snacks&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;Herbal drinks and snacks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; src=&quot;images/easyblog_images/2020/August/update_vietnamese_spa/a-vietnamese-massage-amenities.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;a vietnamese massage amenities&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Q tips, tissues, and combs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; src=&quot;images/easyblog_images/2020/August/update_vietnamese_spa/vietnamese_spa_towels.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;vietnamese spa towels&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Extra towels&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; src=&quot;images/easyblog_images/2020/August/update_vietnamese_spa/vietnamese_spa_herbs.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;vietnamese spa herbs&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Vietnamese herbs&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Changing clothes.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; You should be provided with clean robes and sometimes disposable underwear, or t-shirts and boxers/pants.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; src=&quot;images/easyblog_images/2020/August/update_vietnamese_spa/vietnamese_spa_changing_rooms.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;vietnamese spa changing rooms&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Inside the changing room&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; src=&quot;images/easyblog_images/2020/August/update_vietnamese_spa/vietnamese_spa_waiting_room.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;vietnamese spa waiting room&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The waiting room and lockers&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lockers.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Your belongings are left at their lockers.

Many spas have their massage rooms air-conditioned; if you find it cold, you can ask them to switch them off. There are also private rooms and public rooms in case you want to enjoy the service alone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sauna.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Some spas have a sauna room where you can enjoy the steam and the process of sweating out after the treatment. But some may not include this facility in their service charge so you will need to ask before using it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #008000;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Masseurs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;In Vietnam, there are spas with both male and female masseurs, or all female, or male. In the first kind of spa, you can ask to change masseur if you feel uncomfortable when a masseur of the opposite sex doing the massage for you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #008000;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Massage Experience&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;As mentioned at the beginning of this guide, there are many techniques you can find in a Vietnamese massage spa. You may be blindfolded to enjoy the experience fully. You can ask for customization like the special concentration on some parts like neck and shoulder, avoiding bruises or scars areas, the amount of pressure they apply (gentle or hard), or whether you want to leave the moisture oil on you after the treatment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Read our guide to &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;blog/vietnam-travel-tips-useful-phrases-in-vietnamese&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Useful Vietnamese Phrases&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;div id=&quot;myQqc&quot; data-brand=&quot;wn&quot; data-partner-code=&quot;itourvn&quot; data-theme=&quot;color-blue&quot; data-lang=&quot;en&quot; data-heading=&quot;ver1&quot; data-qqc=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;\n&lt;script src=&quot;https://qqc-api.worldnomads.com/getwidget?brand=wn&quot; async=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;/script&gt;\n&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #ff9900;&quot;&gt;Conclusion on What to Expect in Your Vietnamese Massage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Massages are supposed to be relaxing and dreamy.
