Two parlours, both alike in dignity, in fair Wat Si Koet, where they rub your feet. As this 17th century temple was built in the shadow of majestic royal Wat Phra Singh, the peaceful Wat Si Koet complex is easy to miss. It’s only Sundays that see people flood in, when its courtyard turns into a busy food court at the Walking Street Night Market. But you'll be overjoyed to know that the unassuming temple is actually home to two massage parlours – Rompho Thai Massage on the left of the entrance gate and Sigoet Massage on the right. They're both similar in stature and appearance, looking vaguely greenhouse-esque with glass sliding doors for walls, and both have friendly and very skilled staff.
Rompho is larger so it's more likely you'll be able to walk in and see a therapist sharpish. The smaller Sigoet is air conditioned and has a longer menu, offering Tok Sen and oil massage. Price-wise, Sigoet Massage is B10 more than Rompho – one suspects to cover the aircon bill. Also there's an amulet seller between the two massage parlours so you can browse for a new amulet or mala beads while you wait for a spot at either of the two.
