My tip on
How to get an authentic Thai massage at Wat Pho
Wat Pho is an ancient temple in Bangkok and the home of the famous Reclining Buddha. It is also where the first Thai massage school was opened. Knowing this, people who want to experience authentic Thai massage tend to go to Wat Pho. So it's not surprising that the line will be long and waiting time would be an hour. My tip would be to reserve a slot at the massage place when you arrive at Wat Pho, then tour the place and see the Reclining Buddha. By the time you finish touring the place, it will be your turn for the massage
Another alternative is to go to the Wat pho massage school outside the temple area, about 260 meters from the Chetuphon gate of Wat Pho. Its the same service you'll get but waiting time is shorter because the massage school has more therapists and space is bigger. Waiting time is 40 min.
If you've seen the Temple of the Reclining Buddha and would just like to have the massage, head straight to the wat pho massage school near the river instead of going to the temple. You'll save 300 baht entrance fee that you'll have to pay if you have the massage within Wat Pho temple grounds.
Checkout the photos below for the rates and location. It's interesting to note that they're offering something new: Thai massage with cannabis oil.
