Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was not as good as the reviews I saw in one of the guidebooks. Not very clean or relaxing. There was a great place just a block down the road which was less expensive and wonderfully clean.

It is a common Thai massage shop. The shop have kind staffs and their massage skill is not bad. But the room was little bit cold and shower-room was not perfect.

My husband and I have been here many times. We are residing at the Emporium Suites on Sukhumvit and so this is just around the corner.
There are two places that I frequent for massages near our Hotel. One is called Phunnee Massage which is right at the Phrom Phrong BTS exit and the other is Asia Herb Association.
My husband prefers Asia Herb Association because he thinks the massages are better. The facility is nice and clean and we usually get the foot and head massage 60 minute, not the Thai body massage. The price is 400TB (approximately $12.60) which by US standards is cheap.
What to expect: First you pay for your treatment upfront at the desk (they do accept credit card), then they take you to a sitting room where you will wait for your therapist, they give you hot tea. Therapist will come and get you, wash your feet, take you to a communal room where there are several comfy lazy chairs with people getting massaged. You sit / lay down and let them massage you for 60 minutes. It's great!
Note about tipping: we have tipped 30 to 50 tb. It's really up to you. The therapist will wait for you at the end of the service and that's where you can hand them their tip.
It's safe, clean, and professional.
Tip: Several times we have come here without an appointment and they are almost always booked. Call in advance and book so that you don't make the trip for nothing. Otherwise, got to my other favorite place called Phunnee Massage, which is cheaper and more of a local's joint.
Enjoy!!!

I was served by your sleepy therapist on 11th Jan 2020, 9pm at Sawatdee outlet. I choose a 3hr oil massage. Your therapist started doze off the first 30mins. I don't know he was dozing off as my body was facing down, i suspected he doze off as the force he used was very soft and kept freeze for many times. I only knew it when my body was facing up which is after an hr later. And it's first time I experienced a therapist told me that he have to go toilet just after 15mins of the massage. I requested medium pressure but a soft pressure was given. I requested to focus on sole but i was not given what I needed. No feeling at all as I can't feel the pressure.
I requests him to stop after 1hr 50mins and headed to cashier to look for your manager. I can tell that your therapist is remoseful and he admitted that he indeed is dozing off many times. Anyway, thanks for the full refund and your staff on duty handled the situation well. And I would suggest if your therapist can't maintain high standard, please ask them to go back home and rest. It will affects Asian herb reputation. I have no issue so far at other branches.

This outlet is by far the worst among Asiaherb’s many branches. Took the time to write this review as I wouldn’t wish my experience on anyone else. I generally enjoy deep and firm massage and I consider myself to have a high threshold for pain. But the female masseur assigned to me used such brute force during my oil massage, resulting in bruises on my body the following day (see photo). She clearly wasn’t sensitive to her customers and was oblivious to my winches of pain. To add to my torment, she has long fingernails which dug into my skin. It was particularly painful when she dug into my scalp during the head massage. A massage that supposedly should be relaxing and relieving of my knots resulted in much pain and bruises instead. I had visited other outlets in Phrom Phong and Nana and had good and professional massages. But beware of this outlet and visit only if you want to be served by sleepyheads (as per another review) or wish to test your pain limits. Little wonder this outlet takes walk ins and last minute bookings.

My wife and I have been going to Asia Herb for over 3 years, but will never give them our business again. Typically we were very happy with their service there. Unfortunately, my wife was groped by a male masseuse during her last time there. After filing a formal complaint, no action was taken, nor an apology given. Finally after several conversations that I initiated, I was informed that the man had been transfered to another location, but that was it. They have been dismissive of the situation and deplorable actions of their staff, thus putting future women at risk. I always thought Asia Herb to be a quality establishment, but they have proven otherwise. Do not support them and their unethical business.

I rarely write any reviews of any places because I am too lazy to do so, BUT this place I really have to write a review to warn everyone that's going to Thailand and staying in Bangkok to NOT go to this place. DO NOT COME HERE. Let me start off by saying first we arrived and they made us paid first and when we went into the dark room there were no beds, me and my wife were sat down on a uncomfortable chair. The two women giving me and my wife a massage was the WORSE masseuse I have EVER experienced in my life and trust me I have had over hundreds of massages in my life time and I'm a big traveler. Even my wife gives me a better massage than these two masseuse.
First they were really lazy and have a don't care attitude. They weren't putting effort to their massages, they were just doing whatever. They kept looking at their watch and sighing and kept talking to each other in our presence which was really rude and unprofessional. They were just pressing and pushing our bones instead of my muscles. We told them stronger and they the areas they were pressing/pushing gave me pain instead of comfort. After a few minutes they got lazy again and their strength went back to light.
It was so uncomfortable sitting/lying down on a chair while she massage my shoulder, just try doing that with you lying down on a sofa chair slanted and your friend giving you a massage on your shoulder, it's impossible to be comfortable even I KNOW THIS.
And then she tells you to lean on your side, so I'm leaning on my side and she's massaging my back, I have never experienced being massage on my back while I'm leaning SIDE-WAYS. Just imagine the effects it have. NOTHING, no effect !! Because the masseuse won't be able to use the strength while their client's leaning 45 degrees side-way as compared to someone lying flat down on a bed!!!
Worse massage place I have ever been to, I would give a zero star if I can.
Never going back there anymore.
I came out of there with MORE pain than I went in. Ruined our last day in Bangkok trip.
You'll find better places elsewhere.

I came to their shop with my mother at Thonglor shop and we did the "APB" package (2.5 hrs) and plus 1 hr foot massage.
The lady bring us to the room and I told them we want to do the foot massage first, they did not clean our feet and just ask us to lie down on the bed and did the massage for us.
After that, they did not wash their hand after the foot message session end and did the body scrub for us!! Very dirty and unprofessional!
In the midway time, I went to toilet, the lady lead me to the toilet. When I finish, I cannot see the lady outside, I went back to the room and wait few minutes, she came back. I feel bad that she did not wait for me and don't know where she gone.
After scrub, we were arranged to difference room to take shower, the water was so weak. I feel very cold during the shower.
For the massage, the power of masseuses were weak and I understand she may feel tired after one day work, it's fine! But during the massage, the two masseuses talking to each other few times!
For the herb ball, the masseuse suddenly put the very hot herb ball to my sole of the foot, I feel scald and bounce!!! My sole of the foot was painful and hurt after that.
Finally, we put up with the poor massages.
I ask the front desk lady call a taxi for me and I want to go to the opposite street Mae Varee Fruits buy the famous mango sticky rice then came back,
the lady told me that they need to off work and ask me request the fruit shop call taxi for me!!
I have no choice and walk to Mae Varee Fruits shop with my mother, I was very bad luck, all the mango sticky rice was sold out. Since I did not purchase anything so I try to find a taxi by myself. I saw over 30 nos of mouse on the street and that time was 2 am.! Can anyone feel the helpless from us?
I feel extremely disappointed of their poor services and I will not recommend anyone to visit their shop.

I was visiting the 2nd shop soi 24 th June 21st. I was frequent visitor to this shop for years.
Over the time the quality of massages have gone down even more so the rooms and decoration not to mention aircon which is either too cold or must be switched off. This was my last visit. The professionalism of the women who massaged me
was inexistent. The room was not clean and particularly the shower was filthy. I tried to communicate this to a receptionist (male, japanese) soooo sorrry.
I always regarded Japanese as sophisticated people. I am not sure if this is the policy of the house to keep westerners away by giving them dirty rooms and unqualified masseurs.

A more upmarket, excellent massage organisation. Used by many expats and those who know Bangkok well... Absolutely nothing "smutty" or doubtful here..... Not the cheapest but one of the best..
