Massage Galore!

Being a sucker for massages, I would usually pop-over for a foot massage at my office building during lunch hour. For 300 baht p/hour (12 SGD), it’s a great way to soothe the aches and pains away, relieving the stress of a busy day.

There are a few "clean" places I'd recommend from personal experience:

1. Ruam Rudee Spa & Massage
- a 10 minutes walk from Ploenchit BTS Station
- decent establishment and excellent foot massage @400 bht p/hour

2. Pudao Massage
- located at Ekamai and STILL one of the best foot massages ever received
- it's a small establishment and nothing fancy, but the masseuses really seems to know what they are doing
- a foot massage will set you back by 250 bht p/hour

3. Bangkok Oasis Spa
- A luxury and the top end of massages located deep into the Soi somewhere in Phrom Phong
- The aromatheraphy massages are the ones to die for
- Expect to pay through your nose (by Thai standards) from 1,800 - 3000 bht p/1 half hour

4. Health Land
- A chain of very reputable health centres located at Sathorn and Ekamai
- very organized but impersonal
- reasonably priced at 800 bht p/half hour for an aromatheraphy massage

5. Ploenchit Centre
- Located at Sukhumvit Soi 2
- There are several different massage shops in this building, spread over several floors
- The one on the 2nd floor has so far struck my fancy @300 bht p/hour

A good therapist is an important factor to a good massage experience. You know that when you feel like a mushed-up pulp, you have had a fabulous massage experience!
