Best Hong Kong Massage……..According to Rosita

If you’ve ever been to Asia, chances are you’ve had a cheap massage.  Massage places are everywhere!  Whether you’re visiting or call Hong Kong home, you need to take time to rest and relax.  I don’t consider getting a massage a luxury in Hong Kong, it’s a necessity.  Your feet and body need it.  I may still have a lot to learn about Hong Kong, but I can certainly tell you where to get a great massage.  I love me a massage!  For those of you that haven’t been to Asia, typically the massage process is a little different than stateside.

Here are a few pointers:

• No appointment needed.
• Clothing (of some sort) is normally required.  Most places offer pajama to change into.
• Your options are simple- Oil Massage or Thai Massage.  Thai massages are usually done by a female, you will be in your PJ’s and covered with bath towels.  (Thai people are very spiritual people, which must be why they feel compelled to TWIST the HELL out of YOU!  I actually prefer Thai over oil, but it takes many sessions to get comfortable with a masseur and to have then realize you need to walk home afterwards!)
• Pricing vary from HK$250 to HK$500 for 60 to 90 minutes.
• Tipping is always expected (typically 15-20%)

The options for a good massage in Hong Kong are limitless, but as with anything good, there are just as many bad places.  So, here are my top 5 picks for a great massage.
