Thai candle massage
New at Tera Thai: a Thai massage in which the therapist uses warm wax from a special massage candle instead of oil. The melted wax feels pleasantly warm and leaves your skin soft. A 60-minute session costs 269 PLN. You can book 60 and 90 minutes in both salons: Thai massage Gdańsk (Zaspa) and Thai massage Gdynia (Redłowo). The 120-minute version is available in Gdańsk only.
What a candle massage involves
A candle massage combines traditional Thai massage techniques with warm wax. The wax comes from a special massage candle. Once it melts, the therapist spreads it over your skin with her hands, just like oil, and it does the job of oil for the whole session.
The main difference from an oil massage is the warmth: the wax wraps the body in a clear, gentle heat, and your skin feels soft afterwards. The techniques stay Thai: pressure from the palms, forearms and thumbs along the body's energy lines, plus calm stretching.
Choose it if you like oil massages and want to try something new, or if you simply feel the cold on chilly days. Prefer a classic oil with a scent you pick? See the Thai aromatic oil massage. If you enjoy warming treatments, have a look at the hot stone massage too.
Who this massage suits
- People who like oil massages and want to try something new
- Chilly days, when warmth on the skin feels especially good

- A gift: a massage voucher for someone close to you
What a visit looks like
1. Consultation. A short conversation about how you feel, any contraindications and the pressure you like.
2. Preparation. A shower is available on site; fresh towels and linens are standard. Every massage begins with a brief foot-washing ceremony. For the massage you keep your own underwear on or we give you disposable underwear, and we cover you with a towel throughout.
3. Massage. The therapist spreads the warm, melted wax over your body with her hands and works with Thai massage techniques. You can ask for lighter or firmer pressure at any time.
4. Afterwards. A moment to rest with tea or water.
