Meet Cholly Saidoung
Hello, I’m Cholly Saidoung, and I believe Thai massage is not just a treat but a way to improve overall well-being. My goal is to help you feel better, move more easily, ease pain, and restore your body’s natural balance. I see each person as a whole—body, mind, and emotions—and use a combination of techniques to bring comfort and relaxation.
I specialise in traditional Thai massage and Gua Sha facial therapy, an ancient Chinese technique that improves circulation, releases muscle tension, and enhances skin elasticity for a naturally refreshed look.
At Cholly’s Thai Massage & Therapy, I aim to provide a welcoming and effective experience, combining traditional Thai hospitality with skilled massage techniques. Just as the body’s muscles, circulation, and nervous system work together, Thai massage helps restore flexibility, balance, and ease.
My Journey & Expertise
With nine years of experience, I have worked as a professional Thai masseuse in private spas and ran my own practice in Bangkok. My expertise includes traditional Thai massage, hot stone therapy massage, head massage, foot scrub and foot reflexology treatment, Thai oil massage, pregnancy massage, and Gua Sha facial massage, which helps tone and refresh the face.
Now based in Inverness, I continue to share my skills and provide treatments that help people feel their best.
What Makes My Place Unique?
Your experience begins with a warm welcome, a cozy robe and slippers, and tea or other refreshments to set the mood. Before your massage, a traditional foot-washing ritual prepares you for deep relaxation. Then, through expert Thai techniques, stress and tension melt away, bringing a sense of renewal and balance.
The relaxation doesn’t end there. After your massage, enjoy light refreshments with a hot or cold drink, giving your body time to rehydrate while you savor the tranquility.
This isn’t just a massage—it’s a retreat, a hidden gem of tranquility in the heart of Inverness, where stress fades, and relaxation takes over.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Thai massage?
Thai massage is a traditional therapy that combines acupressure, assisted yoga postures, and principles from Ayurvedic medicine to enhance relaxation and energy flow. Unlike many other massage forms, it is typically performed without oils, and clients remain fully clothed during the session.
What should I wear during a Thai massage session?
It’s recommended to wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows for a full range of motion, as Thai massage involves various stretches and movements.
How long does a typical Thai massage session last?
Sessions at Cholly’s can vary in length. It’s best to consult directly with Cholly’s for specific session durations.
Is Thai massage painful?
Thai massage involves stretching and deep pressure techniques, which can be intense for some individuals. However, therapists can adjust the pressure according to your comfort level.
How does Thai massage differ from other types of massage?
Unlike traditional massages that use oils and focus on muscle manipulation, Thai massage incorporates stretching, pulling, and rocking techniques to relieve tension and improve flexibility. Clients remain clothed, and no oils are used.
What is a Gua Sha treatment? Is it healthy? Is it invasive? Are the jade stones painful?
Gua Sha is a traditional facial massage technique that uses smooth jade stones to gently glide over the skin. It helps boost circulation, reduce puffiness, release muscle tension, and enhance your natural glow. Gua Sha is completely non-invasive and generally not painful—the pressure is light and soothing. Most people find it deeply relaxing and beneficial for overall skin health.
Is hot stone massage is safe?
Hot stone massage is generally safe if done by a trained therapist and you’re in good health. Avoid or be cautious if you have skin issues, diabetes, heart problems, varicose veins, are pregnant, or have recent injuries.
Is pregnancy massage safe? From which month is it recommended to start receiving it?
Yes, pregnancy massage is generally safe, especially after the first trimester (13+ weeks). It can relieve muscle tension, reduce stress, and improve sleep. Always consult your doctor first, especially if you have a high-risk pregnancy. Choose a licensed therapist trained in prenatal massage, and avoid deep pressure on the abdomen or certain pressure points.
