Wat Pho houses a venerable Thai massage school where the pupils are "unleashed" on willing temple visitors to practice what they have learned.
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.

Pamper yourself with the famous Thai traditional massage but be sure to know that there are different kinds of massage, you may end up with those with bubble baths and with sexy ladies..hahah..But for some reasons, you may try it then,lol;-) Seriously, I have tried one at the MBK?, well, it's ggod enough and the thing is CHEAP! Why would you try those expensive when it's only the same..some massage here in the foot and all your body..nah..

I already have a massage tip but these one is purely heaven in my mind that's why if you have the time check out this one..my hubby and I took a Mandara Spa for couples for half day package. It was great, pure and even relaxing relief after the half day Spa..The best one is the Aromatheraphy and the facial cleansing. Of course, it's done with a professional massue..

Thais love to give massage and do it very well, one hour should be less than 500 baht.
Just lie back relax, and let their hands do the work.
