In the shadow of the Vatican, this traditional Thai house offers a soothing Eastern antidote to Western chaos through relaxing and invigorating massage. Treatments range from the classic Thai massage (involving fairly physical manipulation) to deep-tissue massages with oils and ayurvedic techniques.

Things are rounded off with a jasmine tea and some Turkish delight to prepare you for the next gruelling round of sightseeing. The late opening hours make it a great place to stop at the end of a long day.
