 Wat Po Thai Traditional
Medical School by DarkRay
1. On my first evening in Bangkok, I tried the "Foot Reflexology Massage" at one of the most recommended orthordox palours in Bangkok, Marble House, and it was good. It melted away most of the fatigue felt in my feet after a full day of shopping. The 1 hour session cost 300 Baht (not including tips of 100 Baht).
2. On my second day, my friends and I visited Wat Po, and so tried out the massages at their very famous "Wat Po Thai Traditional Medical School", where a lot of Traditional Thai Masseuse and Masseurs learnt their craft from. It was really fantastic!
After enjoying an 1 hour session of the Traditional Thai Massage with Ayurvedic Herbs, I felt very relaxed and calm. They also do "outside visits", but its more expensive at 980 baht, despite the slightly longer 1.5 hours session. The 480 Baht paid for the 1 hour session is a steal in my opinion.
The steamed Ayurvedic Herbs are quite hot though and after compressing your skin with it, it leaves a liquid residue that turns cold really fast due to the air-con blowing on it. If you think you will be uncomfortable with this, then just try their Traditional Thai Massage (without the Ayurvedic Herbs) at 350 baht..
Do note that the school has 2 massage centres, one within Wat Po itself, and another air-conditioned one a short walk away in Sanamchai Road.
3. On my third evening, I went for a 2 hour Thai Oil Massage at Marble House again and experienced the worst massage ever!!! I have another tip under the section of "Tourist Traps" which provides the details of this torture session I received and paid 1000 Baht for.

You couldn't possibly visit Thailand and not go for at least a session. Amen.
Wat Pho and Marble House are already famous spots to grab good, clean, decent Traditional Thai massages. On the advice of a local friend, I decided to try out Health Land Spa. "Value for money", she claimed. And as always, the guru is never wrong. Amen.
As I was near Patpong, my entourage decided to have a go at the Sathorn main branch. The exterior of the building glowed amberish in the evening. Inside, I find more glowing bodies. Contented looking folks, seemingly walking on air. Amen.
My group opted for the Traditional Thai Massage. It was 450 Bahts for 2 hours. Compared to the price back home, it was practically a steal. Amen.
We were made to exchange our dirty shoes and sandals for Japanese style footwear in the outer waiting room and then our masseuses guided us to our room where all 5 of us will be getting our massages in group privacy...but not before you get out of those stinky clothes and don airy pyjamas. Very soon, the soothing humming of the air-con and the experienced hands of the masseuses were kneading each of us towards heaven. One of my mate fell into a snoring slumber, much to our amusement. Amen.
The massage ends with a serving of a sweet infusion, brewed I suspected from pandan leaves with a touch of lemongrass and ginger. A most wonderful way to end 2 hours. Amen.

 Relax @ Marble House by sailor_p
Personally, I feel that the skills of the therapists are much higher than what I experience in Singapore. The therapist would start with a leg wash and followed by a good and relaxing foot massage. That's not all, to top it up, the therapist would also include a good head and shoulder massage! All this within 300 Baht! So, head down to Marble House for a relaxing time! Leave a Comment Phone: 02-6584124-5Directions: The outlet is located across Novotel Bangkok on Siam Square. The nearest BTS station is Siam.

Imagine after a hard day work...er..i mean shopping and walking. =) There's someone massaging and soothing your tired muscles.
Isn't it great? =)
There are a few types of massage, most common ones are the Thai Massage or Aromatic Massage. For the former, if you have a low threshold for pain ( like me!!), pls request the masseur to go gently on you, it involves a lot of stretching of your limbs for Thai Massage. You would be surprised at how strong these Thai ladies are!!!
For Aromatic Massage, it's more gentle...no 'kong fu' involved definitely.
Prices for one session ranges from about 250 Thai Baht to 500 Baht.
Enjoy! Leave a Comment Directions: Personally i prefer the massage shops around Siam Sq area. One of my fav is Marble House. =)

 Pamper yourself by CyrilHH
It is all perfectly decent, friendly, well visited by locals and tourists alike, inexpensive (though more so than the abundant high street options of less predictable quality and nature) and absolutely recommendable before, during or after a long day of visits in BKK. I recommend the 1,5 h massage with herbs (the herbs are sponged on your body in form of a fragrant hot lotion during the process. The lotion is a bit sticky and will stain your clothes so wear something washable). I believe it cost 300B. They have foot massages too.
In the end you are released into the remainder of the day well relaxed and with a cup of pleasant herbal tea to sip outside. Leave a Comment Directions: They also have a second location outside the Wat but I could not find the address anymore.

 369 Thai massage parlour
in Chinatown by tangster1974
Although the main glass door entrance to this massage parlour is tinted, there is no hanky-panky here. Just nice and muscle-soothing traditional Thai massage. After going through the glass door, a lady will lead you to the 4th storey where the main premises is located. After paying at the cashier, your masseur (you can ask for Masseur No. 44 as I found her really strong and good in her massage skills) will bring you to a wash area where she will wash and scrub your feet (somehow ticklish as she scrubs your sole though).
The massage area consist of private cubicles catering to individuals or groups of different sizes. You will have to change into the T-shirt and PJ provided. Once done, you are all set for a soothing and yet physical session with the masseur. The massage session involves some odd positions and maneuvers whereby muscles and bones all over your body are given a good rubbing and cracking respectively. You should definitely tip the masseur after all her physical exertions. As a guide, I usually give between 100 to 200 Baht. Phone: 0-2623-0818Directions: Simply tell the taxi driver to go to "Chinatown seafood". The massage parlour is located in the same lane as the famous roadside seafood stalls in Chinatown, and has a green "369" signage.
