Focus on the market in Denmark with price levels and variations
Thai massage has gained popularity in Denmark in recent years as a popular and recognized form of alternative treatment. The treatment combines stretching, acupressure and joint mobilization in a holistic approach to the body's balance and well-being. But how much does a Thai massage actually cost - and what do you get for your money?
The market for Thai massage in Denmark is both broad and varied, and prices can fluctuate significantly depending on geography, type of treatment and the qualifications of the masseur. In this article, we take a closer look at what you as a consumer can expect when it comes to price, quality and transparency in the industry.
How much does a Thai massage typically cost in Denmark?
The prices of Thai massage in Denmark depend on several factors, but here is a general picture:
| Treatment | Time | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional Thai massage | 60 minutes | 400–600 kr. |
| Oil-based Thai massage | 60 minutes | 450–650 kr. |
| Thai combi (oil + pressure) | 90 minutes | 600–800 kr. |
| Thai sports massage | 60 minutes | 500–700 kr. |
| Thai foot massage | 30 minutes | 250–350 kr. |
NOTE: In big cities like Copenhagen and Aarhus, prices are on the high end, while smaller towns and suburbs often offer slightly lower prices.
What affects the price of Thai massage?
Several elements come into play when determining the price of a massage:
1. The masseuse's education and experience
A masseuse with education from recognized schools such as Wat Pho or ITM Chiang Mai and many years of experience, will typically take more than a recent graduate without formal certificates.
2. Clinic facilities and location
A clinic with beautiful decor, professional equipment and a central location pays more in rent – and this is often reflected in the price.
3. Length and complexity of treatment
A classic 60-minute massage costs less than specialty treatments like sports massage, pregnancy massage, or reflexology.
4. Legality and VAT
Some clinics operate “black”, which can mean lower prices, but also increased risk. Reputable clinics with a CVR number and registration with SKAT have higher costs – but in return offer security and a receipt.
Cheap Thai massage – a good deal or false security?
It can be tempting to choose the cheapest offer online – perhaps a “lesson for 300 kr.” But it’s worth considering what you’re actually getting:
- Is the masseuse trained?
- Is the clinic clean and professional?
- Do you get a receipt?
- Is there respectful communication and ethics?
If something seems “too good to be true”, you should be skeptical. Serious Thai massage is about professionalism and trust – not just about price.
Price vs. quality – what do you get for your money?
A good Thai massage treatment should include:
- In-depth conversation about your needs and health
- Professional treatment environment (cleanliness, warmth, calm)
- Correct technique with focus on energy lines and musculature
- Respect your boundaries and body language
- Possibility of customization (focus areas, pressure strength, etc.)
If a treatment “just” feels like being rubbed for an hour without structure or effect – then you probably didn’t get the quality you paid for.

But only if it is done professionally. And it naturally costs a little more – but is worth every penny.
