On the ground floor near the adjacent hotel, and on the 3rd floor, you can get a good thai or foot massage 150 baht (plus maybe 20 baht (or more if you like) tip to you masseuse). Plenty of red cabs and tuktuks outside, plus on site motorbike and car parking.

Everything Else
Behind the temple is Wat Mahawan Massage. They have plenty of staff who will provide a Thai or foot massage one hour for 150 baht (plus tip, say between 20 and 50 baht, given direct to the masseuse). Love going here, not just because its inexpensive but because they give a great massage. Very friendly, professional and relaxing. When you've finished just a short walk to Tha Phae Gate and all that this area has to offer. This is one of the placesThais go for a massage (a Thai took me there the first time).

Drinks & Nightlife
In English called Dawandan. Love this place, almost all young Thais having a great time listening to a 10 piece band (2 drummers, brass section, percussionist, 4 guitarists etc) with different singers with an occasional western cover thrown in (Kiss, I was Made For Loving You with 2 kickass female vocalists). Table service (food, beer, cocktails, spirits), free entry, open late, really gets going after 10 but even though it's huge it gets busy on weekends. Gotta respect the Thais! They have fun and you will too.

Getting Around
I have shown the local Honda dealership - next door they hire motor bikes/scooters. Easy to walk to from the condo, plus walk a little further and you'll reach Maya.
