Relaxation in Bangkok

Thai massage runs from a plastic stool on the pavement to a garden pavilion. All of it is cheap by European standards.

    Wat Pho Thai Traditional Massage School

    The school inside the temple that trains most of the country's therapists. Traditional Thai massage, no frills.

  2. Several branches across the city

    Oasis Spa

    Garden villas set back from the road, which is most of what you are paying for.
