Policies & Privacy | Golden Thai Massage
Welcome to Golden Thai Massage. We provide in-studio, non-RMT massage services in Abbotsford and Chilliwack. Our focus is relaxation, comfort, and easing day-to-day tension—we do not diagnose, treat, or make medical claims.
1) Studio Policies
1.1 Scope of Service (Non-RMT)
Our services are non-RMT. We do not issue RMT receipts or bill extended health insurance. Sessions are for general relaxation and comfort only; no medical claims are made or implied.
1.2 Professional Boundaries (Strictly Non-Sexual)
Golden Thai Massage is a professional, strictly non-sexual practice. Any sexual remarks, requests, or behavior will end the session immediately and the full fee will apply. This policy protects clients and staff and helps maintain a respectful space.
1.3 Attire, Draping & Consent
- Your choice, your comfort. Clothing-on sessions are welcome (athletic wear is ideal).
- For oil-based sessions we use professional draping so you remain covered.
- Undressing is never required, and we can work around clothing (including bras) on request.
We check in throughout the session; you may ask to adjust pressure, position, or pace at any time.
1.4 Health & Comfort
Please tell us about any preferences, recent procedures, or general concerns so we can set up the room thoughtfully (pillows, bolsters, chair-based positioning). We may modify or postpone a session if something would make the visit uncomfortable or unsafe. We do not provide clinical advice.
1.5 Booking, Confirmations & Reminders
- Phone-first booking: call your preferred studio for same-day or future times.
- You may receive SMS/email reminders when you opt in.
1.6 Cancellations, Late Arrivals & No-Shows
- 24-hour cancellation window. Please cancel or reschedule ≥24 hours in advance.
- Late arrivals may shorten the session to avoid impacting the next guest; the full fee applies.
- Late cancels / no-shows may be charged up to 100% of the session fee. If something urgent occurs, call us—we aim to be reasonable.
1.7 Session Lengths, Rates & Tipping
Common session lengths are 30 / 45 / 60 / 90 / 120 minutes. Current rates are quoted by phone at booking. Tipping is optional.
1.8 Minors
We welcome minors with parent/guardian consent. A parent/guardian must remain available on site; staying in the room is welcome if it helps the child feel comfortable.
1.9 Accessibility & Assistance
Tell us in advance if you prefer side-lying, semi-reclined or need help with transfers. We’ll prepare the room and pace the visit accordingly.
1.10 In-Studio Only
We do not provide mobile or hotel/in-room services. Please visit our studios in Abbotsford or Chilliwack.
1.11 Payment
We accept [cards/cash]. Card processing is handled by a secure third-party processor; we do not store full card numbers on our systems.
Gift cards are redeemable for services, not cash, and follow the terms provided at purchase.
Please keep valuables with you; Golden Thai Massage is not responsible for lost or misplaced items.
We can coordinate in-studio blocks for organizations (e.g., back-to-back appointments). For details, contact either studio and ask about B2B scheduling.
