The name “Boon Sappaya” holds deep cultural and linguistic roots in the origin of Thai massage. “Boon” in Thai means “merit” or “blessing,” representing the positive and beneficial effects that Thai massage brings to both the body and mind.

THE BEST MASSAGE IN LONDON
Finding a decent Thai massage in London has long been a tricky task, which makes the arrival of husband-and-wife operation Boon Sappaya all the more welcome.
Finding a decent Thai massage in London has long been a tricky task, which makes the arrival of husband-and-wife operation Boon Sappaya all the more welcome.
Traditional Thai massage involves a precise combination of deep assisted stretches and famously deep pressure, usually performed without oil. The polar opposite to that soporific aromatherapy treatment, an hour or two here may not be the most relaxing, but the tension-melting results are a serious cut above.
Don’t come expecting white-walled luxury or Instagrammable design: the space, buried in a Baker St basement, is true to Thai tradition (although with a heated massage bed instead of rattling air conditioner). But if you’re hoping to relive – or likely, surpass – that revelatory treatment you had in the Land of Smiles, you’re in the right place.
