URBAN thai massage

4.2(284 reviews)

Situated on Thanon Ram Buttri in the heart of Phra Nakhon district, URBAN Thai Massage occupies a convenient spot for travellers based near Khao San Road and the surrounding Old City neighbourhood. Its central location makes it a natural stop for those spending time between the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and the Chao Phraya riverfront. The venue draws a consistent stream of both tourists and repeat visitors, with some guests returning multiple times within a single trip. Treatments on offer include traditional Thai massage, foot massage, and hot stone foot massage, with add-on options available at modest additional cost. Visitor experiences are notably mixed: several guests highlight attentive, skilled therapists and particularly strong foot and knee work, while others have flagged noise from a neighbouring venue, strong air conditioning, and inconsistent quality between therapists. The upper floor has received some criticism regarding atmosphere and comfort, so it may be worth requesting a ground-floor session if available. Walk-ins appear to be accepted, though specific opening hours are not listed online, so calling ahead or stopping by in person is advisable, especially during peak tourist season when the area gets busy. Allow 60 to 90 minutes for a full treatment and wear or bring comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Visiting earlier in the day is likely to offer a quieter, more relaxed experience before the Khao San Road crowds build.

Visitor Reviews

If you’re visiting Khao San Road in Bangkok, I highly recommend stopping by URBAN Thai Massage. I went there four times this week and absolutely loved it. The back massage was especially relaxing and effective. Ms. Bua, in particular, knew exactly where my sore spots were and skillfully worked out the tension, leaving me feeling much better each time. If you’re looking for a professional and comfortable massage experience, URBAN Thai Massage is definitely worth a visit!

First time trying hot stone foot massage! Super relaxing with nice technique from this lovely woman. She also made sure the stone wasnt too hot for your skin. Recommend the add-on hot stone, just +100THB to a regular foot massage price

Today, i received the best foot Massage I've ever had. The masseur treated both my knees, which both have knee replacements....better than a physiotherpist 👏👏👏👏👏 Raymond from Germany

Tips for Visiting Wellness & Spas

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.
