Massage shops for sale in Pattaya
Fitted massage shops and spas for takeover or rent
Massage shops are one of the most popular small businesses in Pattaya: the setup cost is lower than a bar or restaurant, demand from tourists is steady, and a good location can stay busy from afternoon to late night.
The shops below come fitted with beds, chairs, foot massage areas and reception, and several are sold with staff in place. We visit each one and check the lease before it goes online.
Before you buy a massage shop
- Location: streets with hotels and evening foot traffic, such as Walking Street, Soi 13 and Beach Road, perform best.
- Therapists: ask how many staff stay after the handover and how they are paid.
- Licence: massage businesses need a health establishment licence, and therapists need recognised training.
- The lease: remaining years, rent and the landlord’s consent to transfer.
See all business takeovers or the businesses on Walking Street.
Common questions
How much does a massage shop cost in Pattaya?
Takeover prices depend on the location, size and condition. Each listing shows its price. Monthly rent is paid separately to the landlord.
Does a massage shop need a licence in Thailand?
Yes. Massage businesses need a health establishment licence, and the therapists need recognised massage training. Ask whether the current licence can be transferred.
Are the staff included?
Often the therapists stay with the business, but they are not "included" by contract. Agree with the seller who stays and on what terms before the handover.
Can a foreigner run a massage shop?
Through a Thai company with the right licences, yes. Massage work itself is reserved for Thai nationals, so foreign owners manage rather than give massages.
