Could someone recommend me some SPAs in Bangkok? I was looking online but only found websites that definitely cater for tourists and charge Western prices. I am thinking about taking an afternoon for a body treatment/massage (NO sexual services) with my partner, indulging a bit before hitting the clubs.

How easy is to find places where to get a massage/SPA service? What is the average price for a 1h or 1h30 massage?

Depends a lot on your location...Regular thai massage ranges from 100 baht an hour to more than 1000 baht per hour. Tends to be more expensive in Nana and Chitlom area. Spas in general cost more than the average massage shop. There's a new one opening up at the corner of Asoke BTS station called Urban Retreat. Another at Thonglo, closeby to the exotic car dealership about 100 meters from Sukhumvit. Less expensive but not so convenient is Healthland at Ekamai--not a spa but a nice place to have a reasonably priced massage.

Close to the Emporium, there are a couple places that I know of which are good. In Sukhumvit 33/1, a place called At Ease which has a spa like feeling to it, without the extreme prices. Costs about 350 baht for a two hour thai massage. Also next to the Queen's Imperial Park Hotel, Sukhumvit 22, my favorite place is May Massage, which charges 300 baht for a 2 hour thai massage. (Its the largest shop closest to the hotel--2 smaller ones are sex massage places.)

If you want cheap, Go to Onnut. Sukhumvit 77/1, which connects to Carrefour, has about 6 or more shops with 100 baht per hour massages. Most of the places do a fair job at massages--don't expect them to speak a lot of English. Also a couple 100 baht places close to Cowboy but they do sex massages, as well.

Enjoy your massage!

Do a google search for ' top 10 bangkok spa DK ' to bring up a shortlist of quality spas from Dorling Kindersley (DK Travel).

Hotels will usually be the more expensive on that list, but ask about their promotions wherever you choose.

Hey

70 baht in bangrak (80 for a foot massage) going to 6.000 baht ++ in hotels

Silom (both sides but there are more on the even numbered side) they are all around 250

I went to HealthLand here in Pattaya a few days ago. Fantastic. It was an aroma massage. Really nice facilities. About 800B. They have places in Bangkok also. It was one of the best massages I have ever had....and the facilities were fantastic!

The Healthlands chain are good, but they've left behind the "well-priced" aspect by bumping up the price of their regular Thai massage by 100 baht in the past few months (now 450 baht, 2 hour). I think they are moving towards a spa clientele. They do have very good and consistent massage quality, but their continuous price increases are lowering their attractiveness.
