alidor Posted October 11, 2009 #1 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Has anyone ever had a massage from this school, by Wat Pho? Read somewhere that is enjoyable and one of the must-dos in Bangkok. We will be doing a private tour of the temples and a long tail river cruise and I thought we would throw this in while we were in the Wat Pho area. We'll then be transferred to the ship.

chrispb Posted October 11, 2009 #3 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Go for it! It's actually a training school for masseurs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alidor Posted October 11, 2009 Author #4 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I thought it would be fun too. From what I gathered it's not some over the top spa but just a school and minimal spa atmosphere at best, but since we'll be in the area, I thought it would be a part of local life and relaxing!

I watched them 25 years ago. They were doing these right outside the temple at that time. They were standing on peoples backs. Probably OK unless you have back problems. It's a pretty rough type of massage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alidor Posted October 11, 2009 Author #6 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I understand you can ask for a "soft" massage. There is quite a menu of offerings including one of just a foot massage, which does sound wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alidor Posted October 11, 2009 Author #8 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Try www.watpomassage.com. Since it's a school, there's a lot of info about their classes but also info about their offerings. I don't think it's something you can make reservations for, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobecat Posted October 26, 2009 #9 Share Posted October 26, 2009 We were there last Thursday and just walked in. No appointments are made or needed; there are many masseurs available. You do need to pay the entry to the reclining buddah to get to the Massage School. I think it was only about 20 Bt. The 1 hr massage was 360 Bt if memory serves me correctly. I had the Thai massage and thought it was fantastic. Enjoy! Beryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
