New Scratch Therapy · the Sabai Sleep Ritual, from $139 →
In Thai, sabai means relaxed and at ease
That is the whole idea. You walk in from Midtown and walk out lighter.
Real Thai technique
Stretching, acupressure and rhythmic compression from the Thai tradition, adjusted to the pressure you ask for.
A private room
Every session happens in a private suite with hot towels, warm herbal oils and soft music.
Fits your day
Open 9 AM to 11 PM, a few minutes from Grand Central. From 11 AM to 9 PM you can book online or call. Before 11 AM or after 9 PM, sessions are by online reservation in advance so we can confirm your booking and schedule your therapist. Book online with a small deposit, pay the rest in the studio.
Photos show the Sabai experience. Pictures of our own suite are coming after we open in October.
The lotus, the water and the gold. The lotus rises clean from still water, the Thai picture of calm. The lacquer-blue line is water that never stops flowing, and gold is the color of good fortune. Together they wish every guest calm, luck and prosperity that keep flowing.
Scratch Therapy: the Sabai Sleep Ritual
Slow back and scalp scratching with soft brushes, a feather and a wooden scalp comb. You stay fully clothed, there is no massage pressure, and most guests drift off within minutes. Made for stress, busy minds and better sleep.

Before your first visit
What should I wear for Thai massage?
Traditional Thai massage is done without oil, so we give you loose, comfortable clothes to change into. Oil massages such as Swedish, Deep Tissue and Aromatherapy are done under a sheet.
Can I choose the pressure?
Yes. Tell your therapist at the start and any time during the session. Deep Tissue and Sports are the firmest; Swedish is the gentlest.
Do you take walk-ins?
Between 11 AM and 9 PM, yes, when a therapist is free. Each therapist keeps a set schedule, so we check availability first. Please book online or call ahead so your therapist is ready when you arrive. Before 11 AM or after 9 PM we see guests by online reservation only.
What is your cancellation policy?
Please cancel or change your booking at least 24 hours ahead.
What is scratch therapy?

Is there a couples room?
Yes. Our couples suite has two tables side by side, so you and a partner or friend can enjoy a massage together. Book Sabai Couples Massage or the Celebration package online.
