Wellness & SPA in Bangkok: what to know

Wellness and spa in Bangkok starts with the neighbourhood Thai massage shop and ends with the hotel spa. This page lists massage shops, day spas, hotel spas and wellness centres with location, rating and opening hours.

Walk-in massage shops are common around Sukhumvit, Asok and Nana. Silom & Sathorn holds the largest group of listings, with spas used by office workers. Ratchaprasong and Nana follow, and Phrom Phong and Chinatown come next. Riverside and Ploenchit have luxury hotel spas, and Khao San has budget foot and Thai massage. The pages for Riverside and Khao San show both ends of that range.

Traditional Thai massage, foot massage and oil massage are the most common treatments. Thai massage is done clothed, with stretching and pressure points. Oil massage uses oil and long strokes, usually in a private room.

Before you start:

  • Check the price list for the treatment and duration, and ask whether tips are expected.
  • Tell the therapist about injuries, pregnancy or medical conditions, and say if the pressure is too strong.
  • Book ahead for hotel spas and at weekends.
  • Look for shops that display their licence and therapists' certificates.
  • Compare walk-in shops and hotel spas. The treatment can be similar, but the setting and the price are not.

For ideas and more detail, read our wellness and spa round-up.

Hours at hotel spas follow the hotel, so check the last booking time.

How do I tell a licensed massage shop?
