First I would like to say that I only had a look around the wat and didn't have a massage, so please read other reviews if you are interested into that. I really enjoyed wandering around the wat and seeing all these awesome building. There are lot's of shady places where you can relax and cool down a bit. The... More

I enjoyed a much needed foot massage here after visiting the Grand Palace and the Reclining Buddha. My masseur was student of the Massage School and she gave a superb massage. The massage starts off with a cup of hot herbal tea while the masseur prays. It was busy when I went at noon. The prices are reasonable.

If you are interested in traditional Thaimassage or even in taking classes for it, that would be a good place for you! The school is located across the Street from the famous Wat Pho and right on the Riverside. Great teachers, very openhearted and funny ! its worth your time and money!

I went in the middle of summer. This is the perfect tonic for a traveller enjoying the bangkok exploration.

Great decision to spent an hour or so here enjoying the massages. Very nicely done and authentic. Friendly atmosphere all round and well worth a visit. Do visit if you want a piece of Thailand to go home with.

This temple has it all !! Declining Buddha is very stunning. Beautiful Thai architect all around. Best Thai massage I have ever had. Best thing to go early in the morning. It is located along the Chaopraya river. I would say plan for a day trip, start off with Wat Pho, get an hour massage (This way you can beat... More

The massage quality was excellent (and we had a lot of massages on the streets to compare this one to) and beautifully presented with top masseurs and of course in the grounds of the stunning Wat Pho temple. Best advice - get there ahead of the masses, this place gets ridiculously busy. So it is nice to be greeted by... More

Place is clean and staffs are friendly. Thai massage - pressing and stretching. You can choose between medium/ hard (toughness). Recommended time would be after visiting grand palace and wat po. After 1 hour of Thai massage, I dint feel anything :( Given a choice I will not try again.
