Thai Sabai's Eastward Expansion
Tucked into a strip mall in Hollywood's Thai Town, and surrounded by
enticing eateries, the new Thai Sabai (we've already visited their Westwood location)
offers invigorating massage, following the traditional Thai art.
Thai Sabai's simple white rooms are elegantly embellished with purple
orchids. We changed into flowered cotton shorts and a matching halter
top, and then lay down on a mat on the floor. This position enabled the
massage therapist to channel all of the amazing strength of her hands,
knees, elbows, arms, legs and feet into unwinding our tired body and
unblocking clogged energy lines. Working quietly and comprehensively
from head to toes, she pressed, rubbed, twisted, stretched and cracked
(ahhh!) until we felt like putty, and not just in her hands. Our
90-minute massage was both relaxing and tonic. We left at 10 PM (Thai
Sabai has wonderfully accommodating hours) raring with uncharacteristic
energy.
In addition to private rooms, Thai Sabai has a larger communal space
for friends or groups, where you can spend some quality time together
while the therapists work their wonders. It's the perfect venue for an
intimate birthday or bachelorette party, especially considering it's
within whiffing distance of delectable and affordable Thai food.
Thai massage follows a traditional rhythm that normally extends for at
least 90 minutes. Thai Sabai offers old-fashioned prices as well. At
$45 (one hour), $65 (one and a half hours) and $85 (two hours), these
massages are an excellent deal.
