Let’s face it, a trip to Bangkok (or any part of Thailand, rather) wouldn’t be complete without visiting at least one massage or spa parlour. And with the abundance of parlors located all around, everyone wants to know which is the best!

So from traditional Thai Massages and Reflexology treatments to Herbal Compresses and even Onsen, here’s your ultimate guide to the best massage and spas in the land of smiles. We’ve categorized the spas depending on individual wallet sizes, from the budget hunters to the average spenders and the big spenders.

An all-new spa has just arrived in Bangkok! Once Upon A Thai Wellness offers spa and massage treatments, but what makes them stand out is their private onsen therapy. Your relaxing experience can go from 45 minutes to three hours, depending on the package that you choose. Your options include Floating Away Spa Treatment, Sky After Rain Spa Treatment with Onsen, Once In Thailand Signature Onsen Program, and more. 💆🏻‍♀️

But hey, if you want the full experience, we highly recommend the ✨Once In Thailand Treatment ✨ with a private oxygen white ion onsen or Thai herbal onsen and their signature therapeutic aroma massage. The signature therapeutic aroma massage includes a mini singing bowl ritual, traditional Thai oil technique, warm stones massage, hot herbal compress, foot reflexology, and a scalp massage. 💆🏻‍♂️ All those and an onsen therapy for two hours of a pampering experience!

To make it even better for you, all sessions include a post-treatment set where you get to cool down with your choice of Thai snack, fruit of the day, or homemade gelato! 🥰 

For the ones looking for a good R&R session without having to break the bank, these parlors are for you!

Having just opened in 2014, this massage parlor in Bangkok is fairly new to the scene, but that isn’t stopping Perception Blind Massage from quickly gaining popularity to becoming one of Bangkok’s must-visit massage parlors. This is because the therapists and masseuses here aren’t just skilled, they’re visually impaired!

You heard that right, by focusing only on their sense of touch, the therapists aim to give you a massage experience that you can’t find anywhere else. Here you’ll find the usual services – traditional Thai massage, reflexology, and aromatherapy. The only difference? All treatments are held in a dark interior with minimal lighting!

First of its kind in the land of smiles, Yunomori Onsen & Spa boasts an elegant interior and offers a mix of both Thai and Japanese massage, spa and onsen services.

Also, the water used in the onsen pool is maintained at a steady temperature of 43C and are brought directly from the springs of Wat Wangkanai, for which its thermal waters are well-known for their healing benefits. The onsen bath is also said to relieve the body from mental and physical stress, aside from other healings such as soothing of muscles.

And for the ones who prefer cooler treatments, opt for the Cold Bath, where you’ll dip into 16C – 17C waters that are said to have anti-aging benefits!

You can opt for the massage and spa treatments after your onsen! Choose from either a traditional Thai massage, Aromatherapy, Herbal Compress, or the Body Scrub. We must add that the treatments offered here are accompanied at reasonable prices, which is pretty okay considering the fact that Yunomori is one of a kind in the city!

The next few parlors are for the ones who are willing to spare a few extra cash for good quality treatments. They aren’t looking to spend a bomb though, but are surely looking for a value-for-money massage.
