Asia - BKK and HKT massage recommendations

Will be visiting BKK and HKT in Jan and am looking for recommendations to massage establishments...

Searched through some of the threads and most ppl recommend massages but not many put details of names and address/area. Here's some that I found... any others?

BKK
1) Get a massage at the massage school at Wat Pho. One hour is about US$6
2) Elysium Spa and Massage Sukhumvit Soi 23

HKT
1) JW Marriott massages were 60, 90 or 120 minutes and cost 1600B($35), 2100B($48) and 2400B($53)

Are you looking for massges with "happy endings" or without? ;)

I just had a massage at the Wat Po last week. It was 180 Baht for 1/2 hour and 300 Baht for an hour. (~40 baht per $US)

uhmmm... going with the wife so without happy endings this time... but feel free to list all your recommendations

Bobes, you won't go wrong with Elysium. It is a small Spa but very cozy 'boutique' style. Great staff are very nice and friendly (no happy ending). And most important for your purposes, they do know how to give a good massage.

The Wat Po massages are very good, and you can sightsee around the Wat Po before or after.

Can't speak for "happy endings" but just got back from Thailand and you can find places that give a foot massage for 130 baht an hour. The going rate is around 250 baht an hour but shop around and you'll find places that have promotions going on.

It would have to be an awesome foot massage to result in a "happy ending" ;)

I had a great massage side-by-side with the wife at the Marble House for 450B for 2 hours. It's right near Patpong, just off of Surawong. Big sign - ABSOLUTELY NO SEX - DON'T ASK. :p At one point another guy entered the room and got a massage, fell asleep and started snoring loudly - how does one sleep through this?
