Finding Tranquility in the City: Our Relaxing Experience at Thai Boran in Butuan

In the heart of Butuan City lies a haven of peace, calm, and rejuvenation: Thai Boran. With two conveniently located branches—one along JC Aquino Avenue and the other at North Montilla Blvd., Brgy. Ong Yiu—this wellness retreat offers an escape from the busyness of city life, wrapping its guests in the warmth and comfort of authentic Thai massage traditions.

From the moment we stepped through the door, we knew we were in for something special.

First Impressions: A Touch of Thailand in Butuan

Walking into Thai Boran feels like entering a different world. The interiors are tastefully decorated with Thai-inspired elements—soft lighting, soothing earth tones, and subtle aromatic scents that instantly ease the senses. There's a quiet elegance to the space that promotes a sense of calm even before the massage begins.

Both branches are housed within the RC Intino Building, a well-known commercial complex in Butuan. Whether you're closer to JC Aquino Avenue or North Montilla Boulevard, Thai Boran is just a short ride away, making it ideal for busy professionals, students, or travelers looking for a quick wellness break.

Professional, Attentive Staff

What sets Thai Boran apart from many other spas in the region is the genuine warmth and professionalism of its staff. From the receptionist who greeted us with a kind smile to the therapists who guided us through the treatment options, we felt well cared for from beginning to end.

We appreciated how they took time to ask about our preferences—pressure level, areas that needed attention, and even if we had any injuries or sensitivities they should know about. This level of care goes a long way in making sure the massage isn't just relaxing but also safe and personalized.

The Massage Experience: Deep Healing, Thai Style

We opted for the Traditional Thai Massage, a treatment known for its deep tissue pressure, passive stretching, and energy line work. It’s designed not just to relax the muscles, but to realign the body’s structure and improve flexibility and circulation.

Our therapists were incredibly skilled. Every movement was deliberate and precise—from the rhythmic palm presses to the stretches that opened up our hips, legs, and back. It was a perfect balance between firm and therapeutic. The experience was both invigorating and meditative, leaving us feeling lighter, looser, and more connected to our bodies.

For those who prefer a gentler experience, Thai Boran also offers Swedish massage, Aromatherapy massage, and even foot reflexology. Whether you're dealing with tension headaches, back pain, or just in need of a mental reset, there's something here for every kind of wellness seeker.

Clean, Comfortable Facilities

One thing that immediately stood out was how clean and well-maintained the facilities were. The linens were fresh, the massage rooms were private and cozy, and there was soothing background music to help lull us into relaxation. You can tell the owners and staff take pride in maintaining a high standard of hygiene and comfort—which is especially important when it comes to massage therapy.

They also provide you with a comfortable massage outfit (for traditional Thai massage) and lockers for your belongings, so you can truly relax without worrying about anything else.

Affordable Luxury

Another pleasant surprise was how reasonably priced the services are. For the level of quality and professionalism we experienced, the rates are a steal. Thai Boran proves that you don’t need to spend a fortune to enjoy high-quality wellness services.

They often have promotions or package deals, so it’s worth asking about those if you’re planning to make massage therapy a regular part of your self-care routine.

Two Convenient Locations in Butuan

Thai Boran currently operates two branches in Butuan City:

Both locations are easily accessible, with plenty of nearby establishments for food, coffee, or errands before or after your session. The dual-branch setup also means it's easier to book appointments, especially during peak hours or weekends.
