Go there, take a photo of the temple and teh reclining Buddha and leave. Not unless you are interested in being prodded and poked painfully in front of many other strangers undergoing the same torturous ritual. I was so dissapointed. It is a massage factory! more

I had a massage here last week, it was fairly early in the day and was quiet but something seemed to be lacking, maybe it was just that it felt like you were on a factory line.

Having been to the palace on a few previous visits to Bangkok and never had the time to get a massage, on my last visit I decided to take the plunge. The massage school is very popular and you may have to wait 20-30mins, depending on the time of day. The students have amazing energy - massaging like crazy all... more
