Massage shop near Yeosu Expo for a solo aroma session: Kakao Thai

Why I stopped by Kakao Thai Yeosu Massage during my Yeosu trip

Kakao Thai Yeosu Massage (카카오타이 여수마사지) is a massage shop on Odongdo-ro, near Odongdo and the Yeosu Expo site. It's easy to reach from the sights and from hotels, so I dropped in midway through the trip. A long summer vacation didn't seem possible, so this time I took a short trip to nearby Yeosu. I walked around Odongdo and the Expo area and strolled slowly along the sea, and I ended up moving around all day way more than I expected. So I went looking for a place to rest for a bit, and that's how I ended up at Kakao Thai Yeosu Massage.

This time I tried the aroma course. It was my first visit, so I worried it might feel a little awkward, but going alone was no pressure at all. The quiet atmosphere made it a nice way to pause a busy travel schedule and just spend some relaxed time.

Even as a first-timer, I found the guidance natural, and the staff checked in on any discomfort during the session, so going alone felt low-pressure. I'd worried it might be a little awkward at a new place, but once I arrived the instructions flowed naturally and I could get ready comfortably. The space was quiet too, so I could pause my travel plans and have a restful break. They kept checking whether anything felt uncomfortable while I was being treated, which made a first visit much easier.

There's also a course that combines Thai and aroma

I went with the aroma course, and its gently flowing style was perfect for resting after sightseeing. I headed straight to my hotel afterward, and having had a comfortable little break, I could enjoy the rest of my Yeosu schedule at a relaxed pace.

Were the bedding and towels clean?

The room I used at Kakao Thai Yeosu Massage had neatly arranged bedding and towels. You do end up checking the condition of whatever touches your body directly, right? I'd heard the owner takes careful care of the bedding and towels, and it really looked tidy. Going alone felt low-pressure, and since it wasn't bustling around me, I could stay comfortably and then head out.
