Our story
The warmth of Krabi, since 1998.
A warm Andaman wellness experience rooted in Krabi, shaped by genuine local care, and expressed with calm, simple honesty.
28 years on Ao Nang
Same beach. Same heart.
- 1998
A hut on the sand
Monthip Massage opens as a small massage hut on Ao Nang Beach.
- Then
Friends, not customers
Care, sincerity and real relationships bring people back, year after year. Many of them from far away.
- Now
hej. Monthip Massage
A new chapter of care: more contemporary, the same heart. "hej" is hello in Swedish, the warm welcome our guests taught us.
“A warm local host who knows how to take care of you.”
Someone from Krabi who smiles when you walk in, sees that you just came back from the islands, and knows exactly what you need. No formality, no fuss.
The way we care
H.E.A.L.
Four promises every therapist at hej. works by.
Hospitality with heart
A warm welcome. We listen before we recommend.
“They genuinely care about me.”
Ethical & fair
Fair to guests, therapists, staff, partners and community.
“I feel good supporting this place.”
Authentic Andaman
Born here: Andaman nature, local herbs and wisdom, local people.
“This feels like Krabi.”
Life restoration
Feel better, move better, rest better, reconnect.
“I feel restored.”
Why we do it
Restore body and mind, the Andaman way.
Our purpose is to help people restore their body and mind through genuine Andaman care, while creating positive value for our people, our community and our home.
That means fair pay for the therapists who have been with us for years, local products wherever we can, and a place that still feels like Ao Nang.
