Tana ★★★★★ February 2, 2026

I received a 60-minute foot massage. The salon had a cluttered feel, and the permanent chairs lined up next to me were full, so I was treated on a makeshift chair-like chair. However, I've been to other salons nearby, but this time the massage strength, pressure on certain areas, and everything else was great, and it was so good that I wanted to receive a longer treatment. I'm sorry I didn't understand the tipping rules and couldn't give a significant amount... My score is low, but I think that's because there's a lot of variation between people. If you're lucky, you can receive the best treatment at a low price, so I'd like to return next time. Even if you're unlucky, it's still cheap, so why not consider it a gamble?

손수민 ★★★★★ July 25, 2025

This was the best massage I've ever had. The masseuses were so pleasant and experienced, and all the muscle and fatigue in my body melted away! I went there two days in a row, and if I ever go to Bangkok, I'll definitely go here. The prices are also really cheap.

Chang ★★★★★ May 29, 2025

Awesome!

flowermoon ★★★★★ May 24, 2025

It was cheap and just the right size. Everyone was very friendly. There are a lot of employees, so I don't think you'll have to wait long.

Ron P ★★★★★ November 14, 2024

Visited this massage place in a party of 4. Walked in without knowing the reviews because we were just looking for a cheap massage place. Only 250 baht for a quality massage, sounds like a good deal to me.

黃先生 ★★★★★ November 1, 2024

Nice cheap massage

냥냥이얌 ★★★★☆ July 25, 2025

I went to the place next door, but couldn't make a reservation, so I came here because the price was a bit cheaper. It wasn't bad. As soon as I walked in, I was immediately greeted by the tiger cream vibration. I was lying down like in a factory. They washed my feet and moved on. About 40 feet and 20 shoulders for about 20 minutes? 250 won is fine. I was satisfied with the price, so I gave it a try. It's cheap, but it's worth it.

Karen Chiang ★★★☆☆ February 25, 2026

If you don't specify a masseuse, it's all down to luck. I got massages at this place last year and this year, but this year they insisted on double the tip. The main problem is, I don't know how the masseuse managed that; she seemed to be massaging very diligently, but the pressure I received was 50% less! The experience was extremely unpleasant!

JT ★★★☆☆ January 14, 2026

This is the cheapest of about three places lined up. I often stay at a nearby hotel, so I go there often. Looking at past reviews, it seems they have a bad reputation for yelling at customers and forcing them to give tips, but I never experienced anything like that when I went there. The service is also friendly if you're friendly. I wonder if something has changed. I only went there for a foot massage, but the therapists are usually older, and I didn't feel particularly bad or uncomfortable, so it was just average. Is it just hit or miss? As for tipping, they quickly retreat after the treatment, and since the salon is dark, I can't see the therapist's face, so I've never given a tip. There's no tipping culture in Thailand, so you can just leave without worrying about it. I didn't get any unpleasant looks when I went back the next day. It's strange that the reviews are so mixed.

Hazel CHEUNG ★★☆☆☆ December 30, 2025

Technically- massage is good. BUT really bad experience - about tips and time. First, 90 mins massage but actually only provide 70 mins. Second, I proposed to give $20 as tips but they feel unhappy and said at least $50 and keep saying “五十 小費‘‘ with very very bad attitude. Never happens before in other shop. After I gave $100 to them, they don’t even say thank you and good bye to me. It is not about the money, but the attitude.

KA ★★☆☆☆ December 7, 2024

I thought it was pretty cheap, so I decided to give it a try. Foot massages are 250 baht per hour. It's one of the cheapest places in the Asoke area. The place is small and not very clean. There are people walking back and forth in front of the customers, which makes it uncomfortable, and the massage isn't very good either. In the end, I guess it's worth the price. I usually give tips no matter what, but I feel uncomfortable when people blatantly ask for them, so I'd recommend avoiding this.

Lea Huang ★★☆☆☆ October 16, 2024

The first time I went to the one on the right, the massage therapist was very skilled and the massage was very comfortable ❤️ The second time I went to the one on the left (green): The massage therapist who gave me the massage was very skilled. I was going to give a tip when I checked out, but the therapist kept extending his hand and saying "Tip! Tip!" It made the whole experience very bad. I said "No!" and the therapist immediately changed his face and told me to "Get lost!" (I understand Thai). The massage therapist who gave my friend the massage was even worse. He dragged his feet and gave a random massage. My friend had already started her massage, and she waited a long time before he came to give her the massage. He was also chatting and scrolling on his phone the whole time.

Kwok Rex ★☆☆☆☆ February 25, 2026

I only found out what happened after reading the comments. This place is absolutely a disgrace to massage parlors in Bangkok. They force you to tip, their massage skills are terrible, and they ask for money in the room, saying they're closed and blocking you at the door. They just take advantage of tourists who don't want to argue with them. In short, it's a garbage place.

TEOW ChinTio ★☆☆☆☆ December 25, 2025

Avoid this shop at all costs! Absolutely horrible experience and aggressive staff. The massage itself was very poor quality. Instead of using proper finger-pressing techniques, the masseuse used a stick to roll and poke my feet, which was incredibly painful. It felt unprofessional and ineffective. A friend who was with me had the opposite issue—they complained that they felt nothing at all, indicating a complete lack of consistent, quality service. The worst part of the experience came when we were leaving. Because the service was so bad, I decided to leave a minimal tip of 50 THB. The lady who performed the massage grabbed my hand, physically restrained me, and refused to let me leave. She aggressively insisted that the minimum tip was 100 THB. Tipping is not mandatory in Thailand, and this forceful and intimidating behavior is completely unacceptable. This is the first time I have had such a horrific and scary experience in Bangkok. The staff were aggressive and demanding, making for a truly awful and intimidating end to a terrible massage. I urge others to go elsewhere.

Yaya Chen ★☆☆☆☆ October 11, 2025

At the beginning, the massage was almost the same as touching. Later, I asked him to press harder, and there was indeed some improvement. However, the whole massage process felt casual. When I paid at the end, he even asked me for a tip. I thought I had misheard, but after reading the reviews, I realized I wasn't the only one who encountered this. I really didn't want to give even a tip. This was the worst place I encountered on my trip to Thailand.

Marco You ★☆☆☆☆ October 11, 2025

I went for a massage today. The masseur was lazy the whole time and the massage was terrible. He even asked for a tip after the massage. If I didn't give him a tip, he would complain about the customer being stingy. He was so unprofessional and shameless. I suggest that everyone should not go for a massage. I was attracted by the price of 250 baht per hour, but the more I was massaged, the angrier I got. This kind of shop should be eliminated from the market. If there are negative stars, I will give them negative stars.

jiuyang chen ★☆☆☆☆ October 7, 2025

The massage was not too bad. At the end, I took 1000 and they gave me 750 and forced me to give a tip... Their attitude was very bad, saying "have to give the tips"... I will not come again.

李昱婷 ★☆☆☆☆ September 20, 2025

Giving it one star is too much. The Thai massage was done by touching from beginning to end. I have been to so many massage parlors, but this is the first time I have encountered such a bad experience. When I was leaving, they asked for a tip. I pretended not to hear them and left without looking back. I strongly recommend Jai Massage across the street. Don't get angry just to save 100 yuan.

林鴻 ★☆☆☆☆ September 10, 2025

This shop is garbage. Apparently they hired masseuses that don't know how to massage. My elbow was overbent and injured. If don't want to leave Bangkok with dislocated arms, don't step in here.

Panyada K. ★☆☆☆☆ July 23, 2025

The service was bad overall. Initially, it felt like the masseuse was just rubbing and when they were asked to do it harder, they made a really unhappy face and did it so harshly that it left a bruise. At the end, they also asked for a tip and while we were deciding, they said “if you don’t want to tip then get out.” When we did ended up giving them a tip, they didn’t even say thank you and just dismissed us.

Napasorn Chang ★☆☆☆☆ July 23, 2025

The masseuses were very pushy for a tip to the point of rudeness. When we took a short time deciding how much to tip them, they said, “If you don’t want to tip us, just leave.” After handing them a tip, they also complained about the amount we gave them. Do not come here.

clare lin ★☆☆☆☆ March 7, 2025

I regret it so much! The leg massage was basically just someone rubbing oil on my feet and sliding them around! There was no technique at all! It was an extremely uncomfortable experience! Don't try it!

Lee Ariel ★☆☆☆☆ March 1, 2025

Don't be tempted by cheap prices. Two hours for 800 yuan. But the AC in the room was freezing cold and couldn't be adjusted. It was greased and not adjusted. They asked for a 100 yuan tip, and others agreed. Don't go there.

劉子寧 ★☆☆☆☆ February 16, 2025

The masseuse was rude and tried to force me to give her a tip.

Peace B ★☆☆☆☆ February 2, 2025

At first, three of us went and were all satisfied and it was so refreshing, but yesterday, six of us went and it was the worst... As the comments said, the staff were too talkative and rude, so when I asked to change people, they suddenly said they were good at massaging...

JH H ★☆☆☆☆ January 28, 2025

I went there because it was cheap, but it was a steal. While I was getting my massage, the staff members were giggling and chatting in Thai, and it was so loud it was almost annoying. They also blatantly demanded a tip and asked for more, which was really bad. I gave them a 20 baht tip, and even that felt like a waste.

Anna Milovanova ★☆☆☆☆ January 21, 2025

A good massage, but I was seriously overcharged. The price for the massage was supposed to be 250, but I accidentally paid 450. The receptionist, speaking broken English, tried to return the money and kept saying “okay, okay,” but when I checked the price list, I realized that I had been deceived.

NS - ★☆☆☆☆ January 5, 2025

Dont come here! Its a scam The massage was bad, i feel like she only pour the oil. Couldn’t feel anything less! And i heard in the cashier the other masseur asked for the TIPS TO ANOTHER CUSTOMER! And she forcefully asked minimum tips is 50 bath! That guy was surprised and including me. SCAM FOR TOURISTS!

퓨쀼쀼 ★☆☆☆☆ December 18, 2024

My feet hurt so much that I was going to go to Health, but it was fully booked, and it was around 10:30, so I went in because they said I could go right away, but instead of giving a massage, they just felt like they were running their hands over me. The two people who gave my parents a massage were giggling and chatting among themselves (the massage stopped for a moment), and I didn't want to tip because it wasn't very refreshing and not very good, but they suddenly got serious and started acting cute. Don't go unless you really need it urgently. It's a waste of money and a waste of emotions.

Alexandre Custodio ★☆☆☆☆ November 19, 2024

We didn’t check the reviews before going. As mentioned in the other reviews, dishonest, asking for tips, not clean…

김선희 ★☆☆☆☆ November 8, 2024

The place next door was full, so I was in a hurry and didn't read the reviews before going in. I checked later, and as expected, they were blatantly asking for a tip. I got a foot massage, and my shoulders felt better than my feet. I never gave a tip.

Yi Chen ★☆☆☆☆ November 8, 2024

After the massage, they kept asking for tips and also specified how much each person should pay, which was basically a disguised price increase ==

Sharon ★☆☆☆☆ October 5, 2024

I came here twice, first time after the massage I kindly gave the masseuse 40 baht tip, she said “no, we only take 50 baht tip”, I was shocked at the moment but I told her “sorry, I don’t have 50 baht cash, if you don’t want tip, I’ll take it back”. Then, I took it back. After a while I figured I gave them another chance, me and my friend spent 1000 there. Honestly, the massage is not so good. When we were about to leave, a lady started asking for tip. I shocked again. Lol. This is the first time someone actually asks for my tip. I told her no, I don’t want to. Average price average service, always manage to ruin my mood at the end. So NO I YOU DON’T DESERVE ANY TIP!!!

Ba Nana ★☆☆☆☆ October 2, 2024

Foot, neck, and shoulder massage, 90 minutes. They massaged my feet until almost the end of the time, then only massaged my shoulders for the last 5 minutes. I was confused. Before leaving, they asked for a tip. I've always thought tips were optional. I've been to countless massage parlors, and this is the first time I've encountered something like this.

Zac Jensen ★☆☆☆☆ July 14, 2022

WARNING: DONT GO TO THIS PLACE! When you expected to relax with massage / serenity and soothing atmosphere from a Thai massage…you ended up with a loud mouth female masseur who was unable to shut up and do her job…1 hour 30 minutes of gossiping over my head, shouting to other colleague, directing colleague to do stuff…I wasn’t sure if she was an owner but I wasn’t able to relax during my massage session! When finished I paid full price 400 baht with no discount because the massage session I chose wasn’t part of massage discount scheme (foot+head and shoulder combined) and when I was going to put my shoes on, I overheard the same female masseur who massaged me intentionally talking to her colleague loudly in Thai Esan dialect so I can hear her“A Thai would never tip …so typical!” This is probably the worst experience I had from a massage place…when I left, there wasn’t even a “thank you for your visit” Massage was average but service is rock bottom! So disappointed…I can’t recommend this place…owner doesn’t even care when you complained about the masseur asking for tip and her behaviour!
