We were really impressed by how smooth the service was here. We called in the morning the day before to make a 3 pm appointment and they took down my name and number. We came in early the day of and we used the restroom and they took us in right away. We are not used to Thai massages to it was painful but the therapists knew what they were doing, cracking our backs and doing deep tissue and pressure massage that I was not expecting. It was hard on the body but they knew what they were doing. We live out of town though but we will likely come try them out again next time we visit SD. The only problem was we kept getting a missed number from the place the day before and day of the massage to confirm we were coming. On the phone the lady asked us in 3 different ways if we were coming for our appointment. We said yes and that was that. Parking around the area was also difficult. We drove around to try and find street parking but were unsuccessful. We parked at a garage nearby that ended up charging us $30 for about 3 hours of parking even though the sign said otherwise so we were disappointed. read more

I went in a couple weeks ago. Was a great ambiance, particularly Pam !!!!! Pam provided great skills in her knowledge of the body, she knew right away without me telling her that my leg had a lot of tension.

Thank you Bangkok spa. TY Pam!!!!! read more

Lydia was amazing. My calves were really bothering me after a lot of walking for a few days. I got pep in my step after the massage. Thanks Lydia! read more

The massage ended up in 45 minutes not 1 hour. The therapist requested for tip, which I didn't pay due to the less massage time provided. The therapist got mad and misbehaved. I don't recommend this place to anyone. read more

I came here on Valentines day because I love to treat myself on my favorite holiday. I got a massage from Arin and it was GREAT! She was so amazing, and comforting, I was even running a little late and Arin accommodated my with no hesitation. I will definitely be returning on a regular basis. read more

Great place for a real Thai massage. Went during the day. No funny business. I'd go back, but kinda far from the US.

I have had a few great massages at this place. It is clean and they have real separate rooms and it is quiet. It is not a beautifully decorated place but it is fine. I found the masseuses fo be very professional and respectful. We paid $90 for a 60 minute couples massage so clearly a great deal. If you are getting a Thai massage, leave your underwear on unless you don't mind being naked and moved in all sorts of positions ;). read more

Amazing service and like minded masseuse with high pressure points in their fingers to relive stress and relax!

Fair warning: you see a dingy building, plastic surgery center signs and random stairs or elevator to the second floor spa. At first glance it looks like a happy endings place. My husband is relatively are they double as that lol. Idk... I guess I would never know if it was right? Haha! Either way; we got a couples massage. Both our masseuse were transgender. I say this not to piss anyone off but as fair warning if you're not cool with that or it weirds you out-- this might not be the place for you. We, however, needed a good back rub. So we didn't care. Lol! I've had a Thai massage. Loved it. His was different. My person used massage and Thai techniques. We were both pretty damn Nekkid so like another poster said: if you're not comfortable with someone seeing your bare chest: this may not be for you. Again, I'm not really into tripping off that stuff. All said and done we came out sore, back cracked (mine anyhow) and happy. I believe we spent $120 for a couples massage! Incredible. Only disappointment was the person massaging the hubs was so petite she couldn't really lift twist or place pressure to really give a deep tissue or crack the hubs back at all. Oh well. I'd definitely come back! read more

Called in around 1230pm to see if there was availability for 3 people at 2pm. I know it was a last minute request so i didnt have my hopes up. The lady over the phone repeated and said "Yes 2pm 3 people, you come" and i even repeated myself to make sure. We took the trip all the way to downtown and when we showed up the same lady i talked to over the phone said she didnt have availability anymore . Bad business and waste of time coming to this location. read more

my fiance & I had a Thai couple's massage today & it was fantastic! 60 min for $60 each. The 2 ladies did such a good job & we both felt so refreshed after. They did a nice amount of stretching & massaging. Our backs even cracked a bit! The place was clean & the ladies were all so nice. We would come back here again :) read more

My boyfriend surprised me with a couples massage GroupOn! This was my first ever massage and I really enjoyed it!! A few notes on how it went: Parking - A little difficult to find street parking but the garage on Market a couple blocks away (614 Market St) is $1/hr! Shop Aesthetics/Cleanliness - It looks a little grungy from the outside, and it's a dark stairwell leading up. Once inside, it was very clean. The receptionist was offered us either an add on of hot stone or foot scrub, and we both chose the hot stone. We were both led into a smaller room with tables to undress. This is a naked down to the underwear type of massage. The tables are heated which was nice, there's a bit of street noise from downtown but they had speaker playing calm music which was great! Staff/Massage - Super awesome! Bought the GroupOn and made the appointment the same day! The two woman who massaged my partner and I were extremely professional and didn't chat with each other during the massage. My masseuse was receptive to when I said it was painful. The massages varied between what our needs were: my shoulders were tense and my partner's whole body was tense and the masseuses used different techniques on us- my partner was stretched way more than I was. Price - $82 on Groupon for a 1 hr couples massage. They massaged the full hour! read more

BEWARE !!! You could leave this place nearly blind, with tears your eyes and intentional dead legs in you back!!! WOW is all I can say. Extremely disappointing that the massage lady chose to not acknowledge my body or even ask me what kind of massage I wanted like they say you can "ask for". She instead just came in and began lightly rubbing me. When I asked what was going on, she than chose to intentionally dig into sensitive parts of my body. When I repeatedly asked her to stop she kept going, Until I had to get up. When I asked her after why she didn't stop? , she claimed she "couldnt hear?"ok?!' Not to mention it was supposed to be an Hour Massage, but it was only :48 minutes?' And than just to prove that she was getting the last laugh she rubbed tiger balm on my eyelids? whack!. THIS PLACE is Whack!! I never have given anything but 5 star reviews because I think anything less is a waste of time. BEWARE !!! You could leave this place nearly blind, in tears your eyes and with intentional dead legs in you back. read more

I've gotten deep tissue massages from countless of places in San Diego. Tonight, I just walked away from the worst. Sad thing is, it was a gift from my hubby for Valentine's Day. We ordered a deep tissue massage for both of us. When he finished, he met me outside because I sent him a text saying "ill be downstairs I'll explain later". Let me tell you why. First, they told a couple that they had to wait an hour because someone double booked them with us for a 5pm appointment. I felt bad for them but what can I do but to mind my business. So let me cut it short. I had the lady who checked us in at the front desk give me a "deep tissue" massage. Yup. I dont know if it's the short staff but the front desk lady was my "masseuse". She didn't wash her hands before and after the massage. She literally, and I am not exaggerating, rubbed massage oil on me in super careful strokes that made me feel like she was scared of putting any pressure on me. I asked her to go harder but all I got were stronger squeeze on my arms. The bed was against the wall so she had to walk over me which felt scary for both of us. The towels used were cold! And how do I know she's not a trained masseuse? Well besides not knowing what she was doing, she also had long nails... not super long but long enough to make me wish she doesn't scratch me. I was a so close to just leaving but I didn't wanna cause a scene. I dont know wether to feel bad, disappointed or angry. I'm not putting this busness down, I just want to share my personal experience. I will put it out that there are FAR BETTER places to go for way less money. Places you will get real massages from trained w read more

Amarin at Bangkok Day Spa is such a sweet soul & she does wonderful massages. She also offers reflexology and in addition has much knowledge in acupressure. I highly recommend Amarin, always helping others feel their best. TIP: **$10.00 off if you check into YELP + FREE PARKING on 3rd Street @ Ralph's underground parking.** read more

Ok, here's my take on my experience here.... please read to the very end for the redemption and 3 star earning... My sister and I are visiting the area for the weekend and chose this place based on the 4.5 star rating. They have discounted options on Groupon that's made it even more attractive. Before purchasing the Groupon I called for availability and was happy to hear they were able to take us within a couple hours and they would be willing to honor the Groupon price. Let me also preface this by saying that I have had hundreds of massages in my life. I come from the spa industry and have been trained in massage myself. I understand all therapists are different and some massages will be better than others per personal taste and needs. Walking up to the place I'd agree with some of the other reviews it's a bit interesting to go up the stairs but arriving at the second floor it was nice and connected to a medical esthetics office. We were greeted with kind people but were immediately asked what price were quoted on the phone... like there is not set price per person. I DO love to negotiate pricing so I didn't think too much about this and paid up front (which I wish I hadn't) We chose the 90 minute deep tissue massage with the choice of a foot scrub or the hot stones.... we chose the hot stones- duh.. We were able to chose if we wanted to be in a room together or separate. We chose to be in together. The room was nice and clean. Once we got prepared and on the table our therapists came in and asked us what pressure we liked and both of us requested "firm". My massage started out with the pressure a little shy of what my 4 year old niece could offer so I asked for my therapist to go a little stronger with no comment or reaction from her. it was a bit awkward. They proceeded to splash oil on my body while pumping it out of the bottle and rubbed it with little to no pressure. I tried to find a redeeming moment but I just kept getting upset about the fact that I paid $75 for someone to lightly apply oil to my body and when they were done take a wet towel and rub it off. I also opened my eyes a couple times to see they the effort this person gave was minimal at best. I seriously wonder if she has had any formal training with massage at all. The hot stones should have been a wonderful addition to the experience but when I say they just warmed the surface of my skin, I mean that's all they did. So disappointing! Toward the end of the massage my sisters therapist (Arin) started to chat a bit and it seemed like she was working hard & offering a great massage. My sister looked fully relaxed and satisfied with her massage except for the fact that we only received a 1 hour massage and not 90min. Once both therapists were out of the room I expressed my disappointment with my sister and we decided to let the front desk know. *Here is the redemption and reason for 3 stars* The therapist my sister had, Arin, and another therapist, Macy were at the desk. Arin was not surprised at all about my experience as she observed it as well. They both listened and offered to take us back into the room to make it right. Macy then worked on me for 30 min and did more in that short time than I had in the previous hour. She is very strong and good at what she does. Arin worked on my sister another 30 min and was also fantastic. Both of these ladies went above and beyond to not only help us with our negative experience, but make up where one of the other employees had a massive fail! If you decide to try this place out, make sure to request one of these therapists. They are kind, and great at what they do and those two alone deserve 5 stars!!! read more

What an experience!! I sent a message through Yelp for a same day couples massage and the owner responded in a matter of minutes!! Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. The room was a good temperature, clean, and relaxing. Our masseuses: Elle and Lydia were fabulous!!! They asked us how much pressure before beginning and to let them know if we needed any adjustments. They both paid attention to our problem areas that we filled out on our charts upon arrival. We experienced Thai and hot stone massages and both were amazing! They did not cut us short on time or rush us afterwards. The prices were great and we will definitely be going back!! read more

The great: After I left, they called me to let me know I left me credit card at the desk. I would have been lost without it. The good: Had a facial and Thai massage. Facial was very relaxing. The Thai massage was painful, but considering this was my first one perhaps that's how it's supposed to be? The ugly: My aesthetician got into an argument with the front desk staff. Apparently she had another appointment at another spa, so she couldn't do my massage after the facial. The problem was that I shouldn't have heard that argument while I was there. The aesthetician threatened to quit and everything. Not cool or do that in front of clients. Let me clarify, the aesthetician didn't appear at fault here. I'd come back because the services were enjoyable, though. read more

My husband and I just got out of a couples massage and WOW! They do not hesitate to get in there and work hard for the full hour. They incorporate stretching alongside massage to give you the best after-massage results. We happened to be running late because of some rain flooding roads and showed up 10 minutes into our appointment time. We fully expected to have a 50 minute massage instead but we were pleasantly surprised when they were beyond nice about it and still gave us the full hour! The one thing to note is that their location is a little tricky to find. It's off G street up a staircase but Google maps will tell you you've arrived off 4th in front of the Mexican restaurant so just plan to arrive early enough to find parking and walk around the corner. We would 100% would recommend!! read more

Amazing!!!! My girlfriend surprised me with a 1.5 hour massage after the half marathon. The staff was super accommodating. When I told them I just ran the marathon my therapist concentrated on my legs and shoulders. Took out all the knots and tight muscle fatigue! Also in the middle of the session I got a cramp on my left leg. She immediately grabbed my leg and held it in a position to prevent any more pain. Then proceeded to work out my calf muscle with hot stones and oil. Amazing place. Definitely recommend! read more

I do not ever leave yelp reviews unless it is absolutely necessary and in this case it absolutely is. My wife and I are here in SD celebrating her birthday and I was trying to find something to surprise her with while staying here. I had came across Bangkok day spy and was skeptical at first so I took a gamble at it was the best choice Ever. Let me rewind. I get 2/3 professional massages each month and this was far better then what I am currently getting back home. Dadda was my masseuse and she made sure and asked my twice if the pressure was ok so plus points for insuring it was to my liking. Dadda not only gave me an amazing massage but during the massage stretched my body out in ways I didn't even know was possible. Dadda was a damn Angel and I will be going back to this place every time we are in SD and will definitely recommend to anyone visiting. My wife had a massage by Aarin and she was very satisfied with her as well. Not as much stretching but it's up to you what you are looking for but these girls both know what they are doing and are very professional. They made my wife's birthday. Hope to see you soon read more

Great spot for a massage! Reasonable prices and these ladies take great care of you!

Best massage of my life. Very therapeutic both mentally and physically, ask for the Swedish deep tissue and Thai, that combination will cleanse you! She is so strong and really kneads out those knots. Can't recommend highly enough. read more

Super professional, asked me questions to get to know my pressure, pain areas, etc. communicated during the massage to make sure I was good. I had a girl named Moon and she found spots super quick that were knotted and was able to release the knots pretty quickly without much pain. Usually those spots I can't even bare having people press on. Very relaxing, comfortable, and professional. read more

I have been here for a massage twice so far, and there were several inconsistencies both times. As soon as I arrived for my initial appointment, the lady at the front desk took me directly to the room to get undressed. There was no introduction, no paperwork, and she did not even ask me about any specific problem areas. At one point, she started using hot stone which helped to mitigate my sore muscles. I felt that she didn't really incorporate many Thai techniques; it felt much more like a Swedish massage. She did stretch me for about a minute towards the end and gently pounded on my back with her fists for 10 seconds; other than that, it wasn't much of a Thai massage. She also ended the session 10 minutes early. For my returning visit, I had a different massage therapist named Jiji who did a fantastic job. My visit with her was definitely 5 Stars. She inquired about any problem areas and made sure to focus on those areas. She incorporated many Thai massage techniques, and she spent a reasonable amount of time stretching me out in several places. Unfortunately, she didn't use hot stone or tiger balm like the previous massage therapist, but her technique was so good that I didn't really mind. She also went the full 60 minutes. Jiji was very sweet and asked me if I was ok every single time she heard a crack, which happened several times during the massage, and boy did it feel good. My only complaints would be that the room was cold and Jiji stepped out a few times to grab hot towels- those should be accessible in every room. Great deal with the yelp check in too. I'll be back to get another massage with Jiji. read more

Wanted a massage and didn't want to wait a long time. This place had openings same day and had pretty good reviews online, so I thought I'd give it a try. Pros- 1. Very thorough massage that I felt was curtailed to my needs. I told her that I wanted a deep pressure, and she sure delivered! I fell off my bike the day before, and she found areas of my body that I didn't even know I had hurt. 2. I was surprised at the quality of massage for the price. Very reasonable cost. 3. I have only had one Thai massage before, and I thought it was more stretching and passive range of motion from the therapist, but this was way more Swedish style than I would have thought. The therapist did request I take off all of my clothes, and did a lot of hands on massage. At the end, there was some stretching, but a little different than what I expected. Cons- 1. I would not have minded some more stretching, just because that is what I thought I was getting. What I got was a great massage, so I wouldn't say it was bad- just different. 2. Clean and professional- the only suggestion I would give this establishment is maybe a little more of an introduction/consult prior to starting the massage. I didn't even get my therapists name, and I would like to give her recognition online for what a great massage she gave me! Great, would recommend to anyone that likes massage. read more

I ordered a Groupon couples massage and came in yesterday after making an appointment in person. I arrived on time and the receptionist recognized me from the day prior. She was going to be my masseuse for the day as well. My fiancee and I were left in a beautiful room to change. It was very clean and relaxing with the funnest array of music. They set up the heated beds for us, which were amazing, and super comfortable. I also loved how they had velvet hangers on the doors for your clothes. My two stars are for my fiancee's massage, which was perfect for him and left him feeling rejuvenated. Unfortunately, I was left crying in pain. I have had a Thai massage before and I felt like a new person. But this time, I wasn't asked how much I could handle, so my masseuse was way too rough with me. I came in because of a pain in my neck, but after the massage, I felt my shoulders ripped to shreds on top of my neck pain. I couldn't sleep that night. It was complete torture. My fiancee couldn't hug me and it even hurt when I walked. I give her props for trying her hardest to get the knots out of my shoulders. But I would be too scared to come back, so sadly, I cannot recommend this place. read more

Got back here again, always want to come here for a good massage. To bad the male therapist no longer working here. He was good last time but the new lady she also fantastic. read more

Bangkok Day Spa - Day Spas Near Me - San Diego, California

Went in today for much needed massage after a long day at work . And this place delivered what I needed.!!! This place is no joke. Ray was my masseuse and trust me he know all pressure points and gave the best Thai massage I ever had outside Thailand. If you looking for relaxing light oil massage this is not the place for you. BUT if you really want to work out that stubborn knots that you have and get a real Thai massage I would highly recommend this place. Treat yourself !! read more

Highly recommended. I visit once or twice a year when working at the convention. After standing for 8 hours a day, a massage is much needed, especially for the feet and shoulders. I had the fortune to visit a few years ago and have been coming back since. Walking distance from hotels and the convention center. read more

They'll take last minute appointments, extremely convenient hours of operation. I used a Groupon, but even without one their prices are decent. Private rooms, comfortable setting and beds, no overkill aromatherapy. Tiger balm was used, had a mild scent and left my skin soft. I asked for a Thai massage, first timer and didn't know what to expect. I was sat on, twisted like a pretzel and pretty sure masseuse put his knee into my spine while pulling my arms way back (your breasts are exposed in this position, may want to keep your bra on if you're not comfortable). I was also beaten with hot rocks medium style. My body has never cracked so much. It was a little intense while happening, but I felt wonderful afterwards. read more

We did a 90 minute couples massage and i can't say it was a great experience. We came here based on reviews and to satisfy our massage needs, considering they weren't met the day before on Coronado island. Im not sure who provided service, because they didn't introduce themselves. At the start, I was asked what kind of pressure I wanted by the lady therapist. As I answered her, I watched the door waiting for another woman to come in. When the man asked my dude his pressure preference, I was like HOL UP!!! I had to ask baby if he wanted to switch..... he was never asked if he was ok getting a rub down by a man... which has been our past experience. They switched without issues. The massage was better than the day before on Coronado island... but I've still had better. They incorporated hot stones, deep tissue and Thai techniques. They talked a bit in their native tongue which didn't allow for relaxation at the beginning....I had to grunt to get them to be quiet. Baby was left on the table the first time for about 10 minutes so the lady could answer the phone and door.... because they don't have a receptionist. The second time she left, she returned in less than 2 minutes... but came back in talking.... sounded like gossip. I let them talk a good 3-4 minutes before I finally said "excuse me can y'all talk more quietly?" Baby ended up telling me that while they were gossiping, the lady stopped massaging him altogether, and just had her hand on his shoulder. Thus, the lady was docked on her tip. The room needs more space between the beds. The lady kept pushing Baby's bed back and forth whenever she was back to back with my therapist.... they kept bumping into each other! Needless to say.....I would never come back. I gave 2 stars because the massage was decent... not the best... but decent. The 90 minute massage ended after about 75 minutes. Baby only got about 60 minutes worth of a massage considering all the breaks. read more

The massage was good, lots of tiger balm, which I enjoyed, but I bought a groupon with two, one hour massages and when I went to use the second, I was told it was a couples massage (not stated at all on the Groupon. I am currently in the process of requesting half a refund from Groupon. read more

Able to get in same day. Entrance hard to find but is above the 7-11. I lived in Thailand and was really needing a proper Thai massage for my lower back. This was NOT a Thai massage. There was massage oil and no stretching. Massage therapist left room twice during my massage. There was no courtesies as expected elsewhere such as asking if the pressure was OK or on which area you want the masseuse to concentrate. You get a $5 discount for paying in cash. Nice enough people but just was not what I thought I was getting. read more

My back was killing me so I found this place downtown where I live. This lady gave me an amazing massage, using all kinds of techniques. I don't know how she did it, but I feel much better. Nice to have a place close by. read more

We went on a whim as we were walking by. It was GREAT! Felt completely relaxed afterwards and it was therapeutic. They know what they're doing, and a great price. read more

Best massage of my life! We were here while visiting SD 6 years ago and I've been dreaming of that massage ever since, so we went back now that we are visiting again. Just as fantastic!!! And still affordable. Very highly recommend! read more
