I went to Kobkun Thai Therapy in Islington, London, on a recent trip to London with my family. I have had quite a few Thai Massages before, and I can happily say that the one I got at Kobkun was one of the best. I went to their upper street branch and I had the best time. The facilities were clean, and cozy, and the staff was extremely friendly. The therapist who did my massage was really sweet, and had magic fingers! I was so relaxed afterward, and I just wanted to stay there all day. The price I paid for a 1 hour massage was also pretty reasonable, and I would love to go back for another massage the next time I travel to London!
Nice place, friendly staff. The treatment room was comfortable, dimly lit with nice music. I'd never had a Thai massage before, so wasn't sure what to expect. For the most part, it involved heavy, concentrated pressure up and down my back, either side of my spine, which was at times a little uncomfortable. I did enjoy parts of the massage and it did relieve some stress but I was also a little worried, especially around the neck area. I was offered tea or water afterwards and asked how I'd enjoyed the massage. If you like Thai massage, I'd recommend going along but I'm not sure it's for me.
I've been having a Thai massage every week at Kobkun for many years and can't recommend it highly enough. I have a regular therapist who is excellent, but when she is not available I've been impressed with the standard of all the therapists. The surroundings are peaceful, the cleanliness is excellent and the staff are always very concerned about your welfare, checking that the pressure is ok, and that you are comfortable at all times. The prices are reasonable, and I have no hesitation in recommending Kobkun. And the Thai tea they serve is delicious!
