Urban Retreat Spa - Asok, Bangkok

Came for their promo package of pomegranate package A, a 25min scrub plus 90min macadamia oil massage. Very relaxing and very professional masseurs who did the scrub and massage very well. Recommended for those who want a good soothing massages, in a clean and very well-managed place. Tried the Thai massages the next day, the price is slightly more expensive than those offered in market. Somehow my back was too stiff that day and somehow the masseur was not able to fully relieve the tension but the legs was done pretty nicely. Recommended to cum by to enjoy a different massage experience.

Service was very friendly and we got by fine with just English. They offered water before the massage and gave us tea after, which was nice. We got the 60 minute Thai massage for 500 baht. This was our first Thai massage experience, so perhaps this is normal, but it was very intense. We were expecting more of a comforting, relaxing massage but this was more deep tissue, kneading out knots and cracking our bodies. Not that we generally have an issue with having that done, but it would have been nice to have it end with a more gentle massage. We kept hearing about how you should get massages multiple times a day if you are visiting Thailand because they are so cheap and relaxing, but this was not that. Perhaps it's because it's a higher end place than many of the ones you walk passed on the street? Regardless, I don't think we'll be back for another. We did appreciate the thoughtful service, though.
