Body Tune

Body Tune is a massage parlor chain in Thailand that specializes in real (AKA traditional) Thai massage--i.e., the type that only involves actual massage.

I visited Thailand during the Christmas holidays, and went to their Silom branch (right next to the Sala Daeng BTS Skytrain station, or alternatively close to the Silom MRT Subway station) a few times. Let's just say that after the two hours are up, you know that you have been massaged. The massage borders on rough, but afterwards you are rather relaxed and any sore muscles are sure to have got a workout. The personnel is very professional and seems very knowledgeable, as opposed to other places where you can get traditional Thai massage. I also tested another parlor hosted by the hotel where I stayed, but the massage felt very reduced in scope, and soft and ineffective as opposed to that of Body Tune, which actually loosened up cramping muscles and the like.

At 590 Baht for two hours, Body Tune is probably(?) at the more expensive end for massage, but I think it very much was worth it. Don't forget to tip! :-)
