Phnom Penh’s massage scene offers real value for weary travelers. Traditional Khmer massage stands out as the authentic local choice – it’s done fully clothed without oils, focusing on pressure points and stretching. For pure relaxation, I’m particularly fond of the aromatherapy treatments, which combine gentle pressure with fragrant local oils.
You’ll find a range of prices, but even top-end spas charge about one-third of what you’d pay in Europe or America. Most hour-long sessions run $15-30. My favorite spots maintain clean facilities and employ certified therapists who speak enough English to discuss pressure preferences.
The best traditional places are found in the riverside area and near Central Market. I especially recommend booking morning appointments when therapists are fresh and facilities are quietest.
