I would recommend Yonomori Onsen and Spa at the Rama IV end of Sukhumvit Soi 26. It's a Japanese style spa with traditional unisex bathing facilities and full spa/massage services. There are also Japanese cafes and a restaurant onsite. It's easy to spend a morning or afternoon enjoing this place...reservations necessary on weekends.

I have been going to Tarntip Massage on Sukhumvit Soi 7/1 for several years now and have no problem at all recommending them.
They are legitimate Thai massage, located on a small street off Sukhumvit Road, said street being admittedly notorious for other things besides legitimate Thai massage.
They're on the left as you walk up the soi from Sukhumvit. Easiest landmark is the sign on the right for the notorious Eden Club: they're across the soi and a bit south of Eden Club.

Cefle (Thai Relaxation Space +Cefle) have a Facebook page - many small Thai businesses take this route for a web presence - which seems to indicate that they may have been closed for renovations but have re-opened in or near the same location in Sukhumvit Soi 33.
I found this phone number: 02 662 3304
There are recent reviews (from last month) in Japanese.

For a good foot massage, try the 2nd floor at Amarin Plaza, 1 hr for THB350. Also, great food on the 4th floor, especially the Pad Thai booth by the card sale booth and the duck and pork over on the other side of the escalators, Wattikorn I believe, near the new seating area.
English is spoken and understood at these places.
Careful selecting a massage place as most hire people with only the minimum 150 hr training license vs the 450 hr Thai Traditional Medical Massage training. There is a difference.

I'm also a Healthland proponent. So much so, I've written a report on it here [Health Land Spa (Asoke) Bangkok Review]
It has a number of outlets, and generally the quality is decent in all of them.
I would warn you about queues at the weekend, and if you do decide to go at the weekend and in the afternoon, book!

+1 on Tarntip Massage http://www.tarntipmassage-spa.com/home.html they are my go to when I don't feel like leaving the lower Suk area. My only minor gripe is they provide their Thai massage on a raised platform, where as I prefer the more traditional mat on the floor setup. As always YMMV.

They have two floors (at least) for Thai massage. One floor has rooms, with two raised platforms (essentially small beds, very firm mattresses) per room. The other has essentially a slightly raised floor with mats. They also have at least one room with an in-room shower, for oil massage. (Absolutely legit.)
I am somewhat mobility impaired, and I find the beds easier to get in and out of, than getting up off the floor. I've done it both ways. YMMV.
