Types of Massage in Bangkok | Which One to Choose

Most people arrive here knowing they want a massage and not much else. They differ in three ways that actually matter: whether oil is used, how hard the work is, and whether you lie still or get moved around. The rest is detail.

The list is short on purpose. Other Bangkok outcall services advertise sixteen treatments, and almost nobody can staff sixteen properly around the clock. These are the eight we deliver at any hour, with therapists who do them every day rather than once a month.

Start from what you want

“I want to sleep tonight”
The blend does as much as the hands here. People book it after midnight for a reason.
Aromatherapy massage →
“I have one knot I can point at”
Slow sustained pressure on one place beats an hour spread thinly over everything.
Deep tissue massage →
“I feel stiff rather than sore”
Stretching gets range of movement back. Pressure on its own does not.
Traditional Thai massage →
“I have never had a massage before”
Nothing to brace for and nothing you can get wrong.
Relaxing oil massage →
“My mind wanders through massages”
Two sets of hands are impossible to track, so after a minute you stop trying.
Four hands massage →
“There are two of us”
Two therapists, one each, finishing within a minute of one another.
Couples massage →

All eight, in full

Traditional Thai massage

From ฿900

Stretching and acupressure along the body's energy lines, worked through clothing without oil. Firm, and on tight muscles it can smart. Worked on your bed, so there is nothing to clear.

Oil: None · Clothing: Stays on, loose is best · Worked on: Your own bed

Relaxing oil massage

From ฿1,000

Long, even strokes with warm unscented oil. The most straightforward thing on the menu, and the one to pick if you simply want the tension gone.

Oil: Warm, unscented · Clothing: Undress to your comfort, towel provided · Worked on: Your own bed, on her sheet

Aromatherapy massage

From ฿1,200

The same slow work as an oil massage, with a scented blend chosen for what you need. Lemongrass to wake up, lavender to sleep. Most people book this one at night.

Oil: Scented blend, chosen with you · Clothing: Undress to your comfort, towel provided · Worked on: Your own bed, on her sheet

Deep tissue massage

From ฿1,400

Slower and heavier than an oil massage, aimed at the knots underneath rather than the surface. Say the word at any point and she eases off.

Oil: Yes, less than an oil massage · Clothing: Undress to your comfort, towel provided · Worked on: Your own bed, on her sheet

Four hands massage

From ฿2,000

Two therapists working on you at once, in time with each other. Strange for about a minute, then very hard to think about anything at all.

Therapists: Two, working on one person · Oil: Warm, unscented or aromatherapy · Worked on: Your own bed, on her sheet

Coconut oil massage

From ฿1,100

Cold-pressed coconut oil rather than the standard blend. Lighter on the skin, absorbs rather than sitting on top, and it is what most Thai therapists use on themselves.

Oil: Cold-pressed virgin coconut · Clothing: Undress to your comfort, towel provided · Worked on: Your own bed, on her sheet

Office syndrome massage

From ฿1,400

Targeted work on the neck, shoulders and upper back for people who sit at a desk all day. The one to book if your pain has a laptop-shaped cause.

Focus: Neck, shoulders, upper back · Oil: Yes, after a warm-up through a towel · Worked on: Seated first, then your bed

Couples massage

Any massage, for two

Two therapists, same room, at the same time, both of you finishing together. Tell us what the room has and we will arrange the second place to lie.
