The One Massage

The One Massage opens its card at ฿200, and it doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't. Its own website lists traditional Thai, oil, scrub, aloe vera and rice milk massages, and nothing beyond them. The card runs from ฿200 for 30 minutes on the feet to ฿700 for a scrub with coconut oil.

It suits someone on Silom who wants a proper massage at a low price, early or late: the door opens at 09:30 and shuts at 01:00. Skip it if you came looking for a nuru or soapy house, because nothing in its sources points that way. What stands out in the reviews is consistency. Google reviewers often mention a clean shop, friendly staff and good value.

The listing places The One at 557 Soi Si Lom 11, in Bang Rak, filed under this guide's Sathorn district. According to its website, the menu is traditional Thai massage, oil massage, scrubs, aloe vera and rice milk treatments. The website documents no adult services, and the reviews shown don't describe any.

Reviewers fill in the room. One describes a private room with a shower for a 90-minute oil massage. Another says the shop has both male and female therapists. Several mention that it is clean and smells pleasant, and a group of five reviewers came together for a foot, shoulder and head combination. Named therapists come up often, but no single name dominates.

Its rate card lists:

• Foot massage 30 min: ฿200
• Aroma Massage 60 min: ฿350
• Oil Massage (no duration listed): ฿500
• Coconut Oil Massage (no duration listed): ฿600
• Scrub + Coconut Oil Massage (no duration listed): ฿700

Only the first two lines carry a length. The oil, coconut oil and scrub prices have none, so ask how many minutes ฿500, ฿600 or ฿700 buys before you choose. The aroma hour at ฿350 is cheaper than the untimed oil line, which is another reason to ask.

The listing says cash only, so bring baht. LINE is the published booking channel, and outcall is not offered. Several reviewers call it affordable or good value. The shop is the cheapest first line in the cheap list, if you want to see what else sits at the low end.

The shop is roughly halfway between two Skytrain stops. BTS Saint Louis is about 510 m away and BTS Chong Nonsi about 520 m, each around eight minutes on foot. BTS Surasak is 760 m off, about 12 minutes.

Google lists the hours as 09:30 to 01:00, daily. That covers a morning foot massage before sightseeing and a late oil massage after dinner on Silom. The last train goes around midnight, so a session that ends near closing means a taxi. The Sathorn district page maps the shops nearby.

This is a shop for tired feet and stiff shoulders, priced for people who want one every day of a trip. Couples and groups appear in the reviews, and one reviewer praises a Thai massage as thorough for the price.

It is the wrong address if you're looking for a happy ending, nuru or soapy house. For those, start with the Top 20 or the late-night list.

The One Massage holds a 4.7 Google rating from 298 reviews, and the recent ones are almost all five stars. Google reviewers often mention a clean shop, warm and friendly staff, and a massage that is good for the price. Foot massage comes up again and again, and several reviewers name the therapist they would book again.

The criticism is mild and comes from individuals. One four-star reviewer found their therapist chatting with a colleague during the session. Another, booking a foot and coconut oil package late in the evening, says the first therapist's pressure was far too light and had to ask for more. If you prefer firm pressure, say so at the start.
