Came here with my boyfriend for a couples massage. Greeted by Thai and an Eastern European lady…read morethat made me immediately feel uncomfortable as she kept eyeing my bf. The "waiting chair" was right outside the people getting a massage(just a super thin curtain) so was strange all the sounds in one big room. Not relaxing and bit awkward. I nearly left the place because I had a bad feeling....I've had dozens of Thai massages, in Thailand, so can gauge a place pretty well. The masseur was nice enough but I was not comfortable the entire time. Not enough pressure and just not well-practiced. She had a smokers cough and smelled like cigs which was another pet peeve. This place is as dodgy as the exterior. 1200kr down the drain......

If possible, I would give Bangkok Thai Spa 3,5 stars, however that is not possible and today I woke…read moreup on the wrong foot and rounded down to 3 stars. I only recently introduced to Thai massage, so I do not consider myself an expert in any ways. However, at this point in my life, I do feel comfortable commenting on service and an over all experience. Bangkok Thai Spa, has a neat location, just a short walk from Youngstorget, It is easy to spot, and gives and immediate senesce of professionally on the exterior part. Once inside, you get a mixed signal. The place looks clean, and is big with 8-10 beds, all separated with pleasant colored curtains. Four people was just sitting around chatting with each other when I walked in around 3PM on a Wednesday. I was immediately approached and the lady asked me what kind of massage I wanted, and before I managed to answer she already told me what kind of massage I was getting. I tried asking about what the differences between them was, (they have a list, ranging in price from 600-800 for 1hour, which is not to bad in Oslo), but she sort of blew me off. A little confused I payed to another lady, and a third one showed me into one of the middle compartments. So far so good, my problem is not that someone chose my massage for me, but that she was not able to answer my question. But this is where things get slightly strange. I am very used to people leaving the room while you change, however my massage therapist staid in the room. It really does not bother me, however, when changing I did realize all the curtains was see through, and the personal and other guests walking in and sitting outside can see me. This was uncomfortable. The oil massage which I was getting was pretty good. My therapist was gentle and kept asking if I was ok. Personally this probably not my favorite type of massage, it is just a lot of flat hand rubbing with oil and not enough pressure. That being said, it really helps with circulation and you do feel better and relaxed while doing it. Or at least you would be able to relax more if the curtains where not see through and you could hear the employees chatting on the other side. I am conflicted about Bangkok Thai Spa because I really really want to like it, but it was a very strange experience. I do believe that they do excellent massages but this is not a place to go if you are shy!

The massage was ok, but the ambiance wasn't very nice. The lights were too strong and the room was…read moretiny

What you see is what you will get. To give some background, I'm a male, 21 year old traveler from New York. I opted for the hot stone massage which was absolutely delightful. It's extremely hard to compare to anything else, but it's a warm, relaxing experience for your whole body. I showed up a little bit before my massage to use the facilities, which are absolutely excellent. They have a sauna, a steam room, a cold bath, a pool, a hot tub/jacuzzi, a gym, showers, and a changing room. Everything feels very clean, high quality, and new. If you're in Oslo and have a day to spend to yourself, I highly recommend Artesia.
