UKiYO Massage & Spa
209 211 Thanon Tanao, Khwaeng Wat Bowon Niwet, Bavornives, Bangkok 10200
The signature candle massage is the standout here. Book the 90-minute session if your shoulders carry the weight of Bangkok traffic and deadlines. Arrive twenty minutes early or risk losing treatment time.
You walk in off Tanao Road and the street noise drops. The space follows a minimalist Japanese design logic: clean lines, private rooms, no clutter. Each treatment happens behind a closed door, so solo visitors and couples get the same discretion.
The menu splits into traditional Thai work and oil-based treatments. A 60-minute Thai massage runs ฿600, while the same duration in aromatherapy costs ฿1,000. The signature offering is the Ukiyo Candle Massage, a 90-minute session using warm oil that starts at ฿1,500. The candle work targets deep muscle tension without the elbow pressure of standard Thai technique. Office syndrome treatments focus on neck, shoulder, and back knots, with a 60-minute session priced at ฿750.
Foot massage, body scrubs, and facial treatments round out the list. The herbal compress add-on layers heated herbs onto Thai massage for an extra ฿200 to ฿400 depending on duration. Most regulars book the longer slots; the 120-minute options give the therapist time to work through layers without rushing the final stretch.
The location puts you a short walk from Sam Yot and Sanam Chai MRT stations, and close enough to Khao San Road to make this a retreat after temple circuits or market afternoons. The policy asks you to arrive 15 to 20 minutes before your appointment. Miss that window and the session shortens to fit the remaining time. Bookings go through phone, Line, or the GoWabi platform, and the spa operates daily from 10 AM to 10 PM.
