★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 68 reviews · 2 hours · from $32Our pick

Meet your Wat Pho-trained massage therapist in your hotel lobby, then settle into a two-hour traditional Thai massage in your room. You stay fully clothed while the therapist uses hands, elbows, knees, feet, and herbal hot compresses. At $32 per person, it is a practical way to recover after a long flight or hot day in Bangkok.

“Amazing value for money and two full hours! We did a couples massage. The two ladies were very sweet and highly professional. The massage was so different from North American massages. Definitely a treat and a Thai experience to be had, especially after 22 hours of flying and sightseeing all day in the heat. Highly recommend. Would definitely book again! Thank you.”
