Found a great therapist(Mew). Wife found one that is great for her as well. We set our massages up a week in advance so we get the same therapists. My wifes biggest pet peeve is therapists that cheat time by going on short breaks during the massage and ending the massageat scheduled time or earlier. Or therapists that end massages 5-10 minutes early. Ours have not done this too us. These therapists are just perfect . They are friendly and attend to the areas we ask them to. Some of the therapists here were not too friendly and ignored requests for an emphasis on a certain area. For example my son's girlfriend asked for a hard deep thumb and she used it for a few minutes then stopped. I had one therapist who ignored my request to soften up. I made it through but will never use that therapist again. If you get a great massage therapist that tends to your needs it is a wonderful 2 hours. If you don't it could be 2 hours of hell. It is a crapshoot I guess. Glad we found the right ladies for us. The 5 stars are for the receptionist area staff and our 2 therapists. If overall it would be 4. The spa area is 5 stars. Very clean and beautiful. The rooms are nothing...
Read moreDon't go late at night -- they skip parts of the massage in a rush to go home. I was the last appointment of the evening, and even made a booking ahead of time. But when I arrived they didn't have a masseuse available so they made me modify my massage to a shorter time to fit their schedule. I've had massages from the Health Land in Asok (which were amazing) so I knew what to expect -- this is also how I knew all the things she skipped in order to go home quicker. The massage was good, the masseuse, Dawan, was strong but she was clearly in a rush and massaged inconsistently between left and right sides of my body. After the massage my skin was very oily but she told me not to shower because "vitamins good for your skin" -- LOL.
The building is superb, modern and well decorated. The location is not known to local taxi drivers...
Read moreOf all the branches of Healthland, I'd highly recommend this branch. The massage quality is the best, especially for aromatherapy and ayurvedic massages. Most of the customers of this branch are Thai, hence why the masseuses are more considerate when it comes to tipping.
In the more touristy area such as Asoke and Sathorn branches, the masseuse will often ask for more tips especially to foreigners - and that could be very annoying if you don't speak Thai and feel obliged to do so. I'd usually tip based on how good the massage was and the duration of the massage.
I have been a customer of Healthland for 6 years and I have been to all the branches in Bangkok. I normally go for a massage at least twice a month. From my experience, Srinagarindra branch...
