ABOUT MASSAGE Bang Rak

I have had hundreds of massages in Thailand and today I experienced the worst. I came in for a one hour foot and head and shoulder massage with my girlfriend. The foot wash was the best part. Maybe because I came in a Friday night and the girl had plans after work. It felt like she did not care. The pressure was inconsistent. Sometimes too soft. Sometimes too hard. And she put hard pressure on the wrong places like an elbow in my spine and her hand with the weight of her body on my foot and knee. I actually had to stop her when her body weight was on her elbow and it was in my spine. I do normally really like a strong, deep massage but maybe this girl was inexperienced. She awkwardly moved me astound, dropped my legs after she lifted them - it was so sloppy and uncoordinated. My girlfriend is Thai and told the girl at the desk that it was not a good experience for me but the girl just smiled and said nothing. We had already paid so I guess it was too late. I was really looking forward to the massage tonight but it was so bad I’m not even relaxed. Im actually kind of mad, just before bedtime! I’m sure they have many other experienced masseuses here, and the front desk staff are always so nice and friendly. My girlfriend had a really good massage - we have been here three times and she always has had a good experience. Even my first and second times were really good. But I don’t want to return here after this experience 😔

Relaxing Oil Massage 90 mins 1,200 baht (15% discounted price 1,020 baht + I think a 10% tip is appropriate) Pros> They loosen up the muscles of the entire body using hand pressure. I prefer strong pressure, and the hand pressure was quite strong, so it felt refreshing and I could really feel their skill. My compressed spine relaxed, and my whole body felt refreshed. While it may not be as technically advanced as a hotel spa, it was a top-tier massage by local standards. I recommend Nam. The bed and towels were very clean and well-maintained, and the staff welcomed me with smiles and were very kind. There is an additional promotion during Happy Hour from 10:00 to 15:00. I will visit again. Cons> Since it is located on a main road, I could hear road noise from motorcycles and ambulances, making it somewhat difficult to relax quietly. They turned on a fan in addition to the air conditioner, but since oil massages are performed after undressing, the wind felt cold. I didn't specifically ask because I was worried you might be hot, but if it's on for the customers, I think it would be good to turn it off.

We walked in picking this place due to the ease of location right next to the BTS stop. We were greeted very nicely and was not pressured while looking at the menu. After selecting the 1 hr Thai massage, we had our feet washed with a little warm up massage which did not count towards the 1 hr, which impressed me. The place is small but clean and air conditioned. My wife has a bad ankle and after we notified them, they never massaged that area hard and checked on my wife to ask if there was any pain. These ladies gave the best massage we’ve ever had. My body was stretched and muscles massaged in ways I’ve never had done before. This was our first massage here in Bangkok and we will not go to another place because i do not know how it could get any better. I highly recommend this place and can’t wait for the 2hr massage soon!
