I, PILAI, am a bodyworker and art worker who is following the spirit, my passion and my goal. In the beginning, my inspiration was from my anatomy class in art school. It was then in 2000 I began the study of Traditional Thai massage at the Ayurvedic Association of Thailand. Since then I have practiced in various spas along with physical therapists from the US.
Experience an unforgettable total makeover of body and spirit with Traditional Thai stretching. My signature treatment, combining multiple healing techniques, will melt away muscle tension, aches & pain, and fatique; as well as, release toxins, improve balance of mind & body, and stimulate blood circulation.
Due to a back and hip issue, I have received thousands of massages and hundreds of Thai Massages ( even in Thailand ). I was in NYC over the weekend and my back pain flared up so booked a 2 hour appointment with Pilai. She combined a variety of techniques to find the issues and relieve my pain. Pilai is not only well trained but also has great natural instincts when working on the body.

I recently had one of the best Thai massages I've ever had with Pilai. Having been to Thailand 3 times and always going for plenty of massages on those trips, I have been looking for a place to get a high quality, professional Thai massage. Pilai exceeded my expectations. I like strong massages and Pilai didn't disappoint - she is strong while also being gentle (don't know how to explain it, but she has magic hands!). She can also adjust strength/pressure and is so great about doing that. Half of the time I had no idea what part of her arm/leg she was using to massage, it just felt

I was lucky to have met Pilai. She understood my physical difficulties from being in a car accident.
She gave a great Thai massage. She used Acupunture points , stretching, she used her elbows, arms, feet. All the best kinds of treatments. She cared about me and I feel much better after her gracious amount of time she spent with me.
I'd come back again and again.

Pilai gave me an incredible Thai massage. It felt very authentic as if I was in Thailand. She was very intune with what I wanted and was able to hit trigger points on my body buried deep in my muscle tissue. I felt very mobile and relieved after her body work. Would highly highly recommend to anyone looking for a great Thai massage.

One of the worst experiences ever. It was in a dingy xray room of a doctors office where Pilai met me later then our appointment time. The massage didn't have any strength and didn't do anything positive. Complete waste for $120 and one hour of my life and would under no circumstance would I recommend this garbage massage to anyone. Thai massage nyc is sooo much better if you want a real Thai massage.

Pilai was exactly what I needed when I needed it. I have only had one Thai massage before and it was a truly gymnastic experience. This was simply effective and perfectly balanced. I couldn't believe how much I got out of the hour with her. Pilai used the right amount of pressure in all of the right spots and seemed to know exactly where I needed the most attention. She is firm and gentle at the same time and creates a wonderful stretch without over extension. The space is very comfortable (in a physical therapy office in Times Square) and relaxing. This was the best hour I have spent on

As a tour guide I work on my feet walking all over the city on most days. Yesterday I walked 8 miles. It's painful!! After a massage with Pilai I feel like I can do another 8. She knows how to read your body and tell how much stretching and pressure you can handle. I have recommended her to clients and colleagues, and everyone raves about her. I will never again go to the cheap bootleg "Body Works" establishments. For the results and professionalism that you receive, her prices are more than fair. She is the real deal!!

I've been going to Pilai for almost 6 years now; every time i come out so refreshed and energized. It feels like a good workout - which I love. I prefer a very deep massage and strong pressure, and it is really hard to find, without a therapist hurting you. Pilai achieves this perfectly. I love the stretching as well! I am a big fan!

Pilai is without a doubt, a miracle worker! On Monday, I pulled a muscle in my back resulting in excruciating pain every time I tried to sit or get back up again. Having suffered through endless pain on Monday, on Tuesday it occurred to me that I should go get a Thai massage; after all, it couldn't get any worse right?
Having read the Yelp reviews on Pilai, I called her in desperation hoping to get an appointment with her that morning. She was able to accommodate me and although she was running a little late, she texted me her whereabouts continually so that I wasn't standing around
