Agree that you can get a solid massage in Subway, but they always try to hit you with a special, even if the masseuse is bordering aunty category. Dont know which is the best traditional massage, but the locals love Healthland which is reasonably priced and definitely no hanky panky. There is a branch on Ekkamai soi 10, off Sukhumvit 63. Senses on Sukhumvit soi 19 just past the Family Mart is also good for a no specials massage. Let me see .... at the end of soi 33 away from the Sukhumvit main road there is a nicely furbished massage place. Prices are reasonable and service is professional. Only tried foot and shoulder there and it was really good. Sorry dont know of any places with male masseuses Have fun.

Buy the voucher package is cheaper, $1000 baht per booklet. Tried their sports massage (whole body), $250, Legs massage $250 all using the vouchers. I saw many couples going there as well. This place is made well known by their international tennis star and many rich local taokays.

The one at Sathorn Rd is the better one. You will see alot of young pooying working exe going there as well.

Bkk is known for copy everything, from Adidas to LV bags. Even got A or B grade for sports stuff.

Pratunam more for general apparel like ladies clothing, t-shirts and stuff. Ppl buy bulk for resale in other places

Instead of what most people do when they come to Bangkok and pray at the Erawan 4 Face Buddah shrine may I suggest the following:

1) Make a donation at Wat Hualampong. They collect money for poor people who cannot afford a decent funeral. Many Thais do that to make merit. Best part is the temple is open 24 hours. Wat is near the Hua Lampong MRT... confirm with your hotel/locals again.

2) If want to pray for gambling luck. There is a temple near either the Ekkamai or Thong Lor BTS station. Inside there is the mummified body of the last criminal executed old skool style (i.e. beheading). Thais pray to him for lucky numbers. Very sorry I can't remember the name of the temple but its along Sukhumvit road after Soi Thonglor vicinity.

3) If more hard working can do the 9 Temples Tour. They are all in the old part of Bangkok (Rattakosin/Chinatown area). Involves buying offerings at the temples. Suppose to change your luck and make merit in the process.

4) If even more hard working make a trip to Sri Racha to visit the White Dragon Prince made famous by Andy Lau and other Hong Kong stars. More info can be found at the Pattaya thread.

BTW I'm not Buddhist nor a spiritual guide. Bros who want to go and try what I suggested please do more research on your own and ask the locals. They would be more than willing to help.

i have also been there n it costs less than THB1k for a table of 6 persons to have a decent seafood meal.

guess for food, thailand is still considered cheaper than sinkapore

I kinda like Bodytune. A little more pricey and upmarket, but the massage is damn good. Had bad back during my last trip, and they managed to fix it in one session.

BODYTUNE :: Truely Relaxing Massage

Hope this helps.

I tend to think hotels near Asoke station would be most convenient. Can get to BTS and MRT without transfer.
