Best Bangkok Massages Guide 2023
As one of the characteristic attractions of Thailand, Thai massage is a "must-experience" during your trip to Thailand. The capital city Bangkok is a great place to experience a Thai massage.

What are the types of massage in Bangkok? How does a Thai massage work? How much does it cost, and where can you get a good experience in Bangkok? In this video you will find the answers.

What Types of Massage Are Found in Bangkok?
Basically, there are three main types of massage in Bangkok.
1. Foot Massage.
Time: 30 minutes – 1 hour
Price: from 200 THB (~6 USD)
Foot massage in Bangkok is perhaps the most common style. It can be very simple, just need a masseuse, a recliner, and a basin. So, you will find there are many recliners in the night markets or by the pedestrian street.

Of course, if you want better environment and service, a professional massage shop is the best choice.

The masseuse will press specific areas of your soles, which correspond with different organs of the body in reflexology theory. The pressure on these points is believed to release toxins and improve its functioning.

2. Thai Traditional Massage.
Time: 1–2 hours
Price: from 350 THB (~10 USD)
World-renowned for its dynamic style, Thai traditional massage will leave an impression on you. Using both static and rhythmic pressure, you will be compressed, pulled, rocked, and stretched.

Every part of the body is involved, from cracking your fingers and toes (releasing the gas build up in the joints) to applying pressure to the base of your skull and even massaging your eyebrows.

3. Thai Spa.
Time: 1–3 hours
Price: from 600 THB (~17 USD)
A Thai spa contains many programs, like facial care, body care, oil massage, aromatherapy, etc. A Thai spa is more gentle than Thai massage.

The whole process is accompanied by music, warm ambient lighting, and fragrances — it's relaxing, enjoyable, and comfortable.
How Much Does a Thai Massage Cost in Bangkok?
The cost of massage in Bangkok varies according to the massage program and the store you choose.

The cheapest massage stalls are usually in the night market at 150–200 baht (4–6 USD) with a rudimentary environment. The massage will be carried out on a mat or chair set on the side of the road.

A better massage shop will cost around 350–800 baht (10–23 USD). They are usually a one-room storefront on the street, and very few have a whole building with experienced local masseurs.

A high-quality experience may cost around 600–3,000 baht (17–87 USD) according the program you try. They are usually located away from the downtown area in individual buildings or in a hotel with specialized facilities (private rooms, music, ambient lighting, fragrances...).
Things to Know for First Timers When Doing a Massage.
1. You will need to change into the clothes prepared for you before a Thai traditional massage/spa.

2. In most cases, you are naked when experiencing a spa. You can cover your private parts with a towel.

3. In general, you need to make an appointment in advance to choose the spa package you want to experience and the start time.

4. You may feel pain in the Thai massage process, especially if you are doing it for the first time. Many massage therapists will often ask if you are okay with the pressure, so please be honest with your response.

5. A tip of 50 to 100 baht to the massage therapist is suitable. You can give more if you are very satisfied.
