Dream Thai Massage

If you're staying around Khao San and want a well-reviewed massage close to your guesthouse, Dream Thai Massage on Soi Samsen 6 is worth a look. It holds a perfect 5.0 from 127 Google reviews, and recent reviewers keep coming back to the same points: clean rooms, a pleasant smell, friendly staff and a fair price.

Be clear about what it is. Its Google categories are all mainstream: massage spa, aromatherapy, foot massage, Thai massage and reflexology. Reviewers describe foot, oil and couples massages, and none mention anything more. Skip it if you're looking for a happy ending shop; nothing on record supports that. And it closes at 22:00.

There's no website and no menu, so the picture comes from the listing and the reviews. Google lists it under massage spa, aromatherapy, foot massage, Thai massage and reflexology. Reviewers mention hour-long foot massages, oil massages, and separate massages for couples visiting together.

Several reviewers describe the room as clean, calm and good-smelling, and one says the staff gave them good tips for exploring the city. Languages, payment methods and booking channels aren't listed.

Dream Thai Massage publishes no prices, and no directory we could find lists them. Ask for the menu at the door and choose from there. Reviewers often describe the prices as good or reasonable, but none give figures. For happy ending shops that do publish a card, the cheap list is the place to compare.

The address is 5 Soi Samsen 6, Ban Phan Thom, Phra Nakhon, in the Khao San and Old Town district. There's no rail station within easy reach. MRT Sam Yot is the closest at 1.9 kilometres, about 31 minutes on foot, so most people will walk from their hotel or take a taxi.

The doors open at 10:00 and close at 22:00, every day. One reviewer calls the location convenient, and another calls it the best massage on the street.

Travellers in the Old Town who want a clean, relaxing foot or oil massage after a day on their feet, and couples who want to be treated side by side. It's not one for night owls, or for anyone reading this guide for its main subject. Those readers should start with the Top 20 or the late-night list.

Dream Thai Massage holds a 5.0 Google rating from 127 reviews, and every recent one is five stars, many posted within the past week.

The themes are consistent. Google reviewers often mention a clean, calm, good-smelling space, friendly and professional staff, and a good or reasonable price. Several single out the foot massage and the oil massage, and one names a therapist, Lisa. One reviewer says it's the best of several studios they tried in Bangkok, and another says they keep coming back. Couples mention being looked after together.

There are no complaints among the recent reviews. One reviewer simply says they weren't sure what to do about a nerve problem, without blaming the shop.
