Better Day Healthy Massage @Novotel Sukhumvit 20

I had a 1.5-hour oil massage at Better Day Healthy Massage (Novotel), priced at 1,100 baht. You can choose between coconut or lavender oil, which is a nice touch. Before starting, they ask you to fill out a short questionnaire, including which areas you want extra focus on and which areas you do not want touched, something I really appreciated. The massage therapist fully respected my request for a very soft massage. Only the head massage felt a bit stronger at times, but I assume that is part of the Thai style. I had a private cabin with a shower and sink, which was very convenient. Everything was very clean, the temperature was perfect, and the relaxing music with water sounds created a calm and soothing atmosphere. The only downside for me was the space outside the treatment room. When you arrive, you are right in front of the reception desk, and after the massage, you sit in the same area to drink your bael tea. It felt a bit overwhelming, and I also felt slightly pressured to finish my tea and leave, as both the manager and the therapist were nearby and watching 😅 I would recommend creating a more private, quiet space where guests can slowly come back to reality after the massage, especially in a five-star hotel like Novotel. Overall, a very good and professional massage experience, with just a small improvement needed on the post-massage moment.

Better Day Healthy Massage @ Novotel Sukhumvit 20 I had the pleasure of experiencing a massage by Sorn at Better Day Healthy Massage, and it was truly exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was calm, welcoming, and beautifully designed to help you unwind. The staff greeted me warmly, and the overall environment felt both professional and relaxing. Sorn’s technique stood out immediately — a perfect balance of strength and gentleness. She intuitively found areas of tension and worked them out with precision, while maintaining a soothing rhythm that made the entire session deeply restorative. Her attentiveness and skill created a personalized experience that left me feeling both energized and completely relaxed. The spa itself is immaculate, with modern yet cozy interiors, soft lighting, and a tranquil ambiance that enhances the treatment. Located conveniently inside Novotel Sukhumvit 20, it’s easy to access and makes for a perfect retreat whether you’re staying at the hotel or just visiting Bangkok. Overall, Better Day Healthy Massage is a hidden gem, and Sorn is a true professional whose massage is among the best I’ve ever had. I left feeling lighter, refreshed, and grateful for such a wonderful experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking genuine relaxation and top-quality care.

The environment was comfortable and clean; the towels didn't have any strange smell. I bought a 90-minute Thai massage for $800. At the beginning, you fill out a form indicating the areas you'd like to focus on. Because I had a headache, I requested at least a 30-minute head massage. She started by making me lie face down, massaging my calves and back. Her heels and shoulders were incredibly painful; even when I asked her to be gentler, it still hurt. I nervously endured an hour until I couldn't take it anymore and finally asked her to stop massaging my heels and back and start massaging my head. However, her scalp massage technique remained completely unchanged. I could constantly hear the sound of her rubbing my hair; I think she must have rubbed a lot of hair out… After the massage, my hair was completely tangled. It was the first time I'd encountered this kind of head massage. My head didn't feel any better afterward; it still hurt. The worst part was that I could often hear her coughing during the massage. I suggest wearing a mask if you want a massage.
