Blossom Thai Massage and Spa

Blossom Thai Massage and Spa sits on E Street in the Gaslamp Quarter, open every day from 10:30 am to 9:30 pm. It's a day spa built around a signature Thai Combo Massage that blends Thai Traditional, Deep Tissue and Swedish techniques, developed by founder Malee Seele, a registered nurse and licensed massage therapist with over a decade of healthcare background.

The menu runs to eight services total, with recent additions of a Thai Head Spa, an herbal Body Scrub and an Infrared Sauna. Walk-ins are accepted, so no advance booking is required, though a reservation may still get you seen faster. There's no day-pass option here -- this is a treatment-based spa rather than a facility you pay to roam.

A wellness membership is available for regulars: it includes 10% off all services, unlimited 30-minute infrared sauna sessions per visit, massage chair access when available, a complimentary beverage each visit and a birthday massage. Pricing sits in the moderate range for the area.

Parking near the spa has been noted as tight at times, so budget a few extra minutes if you're driving into the Gaslamp Quarter. The space serves adults and couples, and the facility list -- sauna, scrub, head spa -- points to a spot meant for both quick tension relief and a longer self-care visit.
