What Google reviewers say about THE FOREST MASSAGE
The massage technique didn't meet the level of comfort and enjoyment described in Google reviews and influencer posts. Massage therapist #15, in my opinion, didn't provide a very comfortable massage. After removing my toes, he scratched my scalp, which I found extremely uncomfortable 😡😡. In other massage parlors, at least they would scratch through a cloth (and clean my feet beforehand). But this place didn't; he used his bare hands?! He didn't clean my feet before scratching, nor did he clean his hands afterward before proceeding to the next step (massaging my head). Unfortunately, the language barrier prevented us from addressing this issue. Because the massage wasn't as good as I expected, I didn't tip. After going downstairs, the masseuse gave me a sour look and ignored me. After finishing, he just sat on the stairs waiting for me to come out and give him a tip? My friend gave her masseuse a tip, and she smiled happily. My masseuse, because she didn't receive a tip, kept his head down the whole time using his equipment and wouldn't even look at me directly. When we went downstairs, I checked my masseuse's number with the counter again, and he specifically brought it out to show me; it was definitely number 15. Others had given him very high praise, but my experience was completely different. I initially only wanted to give him one star for his attitude and technique because it was incredibly disappointing and uncomfortable… I'm giving him another star because after leaving, when I went to 7-Eleven, I met another employee who, despite not receiving our tips, was willing to recommend good local food. I was very happy. It's a pity I didn't know his number, otherwise I would definitely recommend him highly! 👍🏻 I'll definitely look for him next time I go, and I hope masseuse number 15 won't be unhappy or sullen because I didn't receive a tip. 🙏
Here's my honest review of this massage, separating the pros and cons for your reference: This shop is located in the Indian section, a remote area with a complex and mixed environment, which I highly recommend against for solo women. The lighting inside was dim, and the overall environment felt dirty and unclean. My skin immediately felt itchy after the massage, suggesting the sheets and other supplies weren't properly cleaned. The only redeeming quality was the masseuse; she was Thai, and her massage techniques were professional and precise, with excellent pressure and acupressure points. Communication was also easy. In terms of technique alone, it's worth trying, but the location, environment, and hygiene are major drawbacks. If cleanliness is a concern, or if you're a woman traveling alone, I suggest choosing another shop.
Really very comfortable!! I went there after seeing recommendations from Malaysians. It's located in the Pratunam area, a great location close to shopping areas, so it's lively both morning and evening. The masseuses' techniques were truly excellent! I get massages every day in Thailand, and today's was the most satisfying. It was so comfortable that we didn't even notice the lights were on when the shop was almost closing time; I had already fallen asleep. I chose a foot massage, but the masseuse's shoulder and neck massage was incredibly comfortable!! Highly recommended.
