Visitor Reviews
I recently visited and had an amazing experience! The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, with a soothing scent and soft music that set the perfect mood. The staff was warm and welcoming, making me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. I chose the aroma oil massage (lemongrass & eucalyptus), and it was absolutely wonderful. The therapist was highly skilled, applying just the right amount of pressure while using aromatic oils that helped me fully unwind. The combination of gentle strokes and deep relaxation techniques melted away all my stress and tension. After the session, I felt completely refreshed and rejuvenated. Overall, I highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-quality Thai massage experience. I will definitely be coming back!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Exceptional Experience at Erawan Thai Massage (178 Boriphat Road) I had no idea how badly I needed this until I walked in. Gee was phenomenal — truly one of the best massage therapists I’ve ever had. I booked a 30-minute foot massage and a 75-minute head massage, and both were on another level. I would come back to Thailand just for his massage. The entire place is spotless, professional, quiet, and incredibly relaxing. I felt safe and comfortable the moment I walked in. They welcomed me with delicious tea, and after the session I was given more tea and fresh cut fruit — a perfect touch. If you’re in Bangkok and want real relaxation done right, this is the spot. Highly recommend.
Got a head spa here for 1600 baht/1 hour. The experience was divine. The therapist was very professional and the spa was very clean and had good vibes. I highly recommend this place for getting a head spa.

Learn Wat Pho First
Wat Pho in Bangkok is the birthplace of traditional Thai massage education. Their on-site massage pavilion offers excellent treatments from students and graduates at reasonable prices — and you know the technique is authentic.
Communicate Pressure Preferences
Thai massage can be intense. Say 'bao bao' for lighter pressure or 'nак nак' for harder. A good therapist will check in, but don't hesitate to speak up — suffering in silence defeats the purpose.
Book Longer Sessions
A 60-minute massage is fine, but 90 or 120 minutes allows the therapist to work thoroughly. The price difference is often only 200–400 THB for an extra hour — worth it for a deeper, more relaxing experience.
