Hero Massage does not seem to have a website.
From the utopia-asia site: 65 Sukhumvit Soi 11, 02-251-1033, 02-651-2358. Enter Soi 11 from Sukhumvit, make a left at the end of the Soi and follow the road until it hits the canal (Hero is on the left). Well-run facility with restaurant is one of Bangkok's best. Massage areas are clean and private. VIP rooms available. Very popular for its privacy and good service. You can take a taxi there, though I think you'll more likely than not find the taxi-driver completely clueless too, and he'll be asking you for directions. Or you can take the Skytrain to Nana station and almost at the foot of the station stairs, you'll find the entrance to Sukhumvit soi 11. However, it's a 1 km walk in, almost until the road ends at the edge of the canal. For a satellite picture, go to www.wikimapia.org, do a search for "Bangkok", then another search for "Kallista Mansion". Kallista is the condominium block more or less opposite Hero. Hero is also next door to Liberty Park 2, another condominium block, but somehow a search on Wikimapia does not work for Liberty Park 2.

The walk inside might be a little too long especially if you are going for the first time. Get the motor bike taxi infront of Soi 11. I think all the drivers know where it is. Infact, my first time there, it was the driver who pointed out to me where Hero building was. The ride will cost you just bht20-30.

-- Very roughly: 1.- In Nana BTS. look-at the local area's dir'n. sign for best exit for S'vit. soi 11; 2.- Walk NORTH along soi 11. for approx. 600 yds., (pass SWISS PK., AMBASSADOR & GD.PRESIDENT HTLS. on yr RHS. and FEDERAL HTL. on yr. LHS.); 3.- Soon thereafter soi 11 makes a LEFT and then a RIGHT dog-leg for approx. 250yds.; 4.- Continue ahead in same dir'n. as in #1. above, ignore the tee-junc to your LT., for approx. 400yds. and you'll see HERO on your LHS. - an house set-back in a courtyd.; it's just before Khlong San Sabe, (wch. one takes whe going from Pratunam Landing to the Mall - B. Kapi - ha!),. -- Either side of soi 11. there are 7/11s. for any last minute necessities! - From memory, maybe in this thread, clear instructions were given a good few months ago on this v. same subject - might be worth scrolling-back or looking-around for them? -- Google Earth: approx. 100 33' 21"E. x 13 44' 52"N.. -- Sorry, cannot help you about prices etc.. - Again, from reading others' comments, I gather that one busy days they operate rather like a clock-watching conveyor line with favored, (Th.), customers getting the better choices of masseurs - but pl. be advised that is hearsay. -- E&OE.. -- Bibi.. --

From my recollection of my last visit in March this year, the cost was Baht 600. for a 1-hour oil massage. I can't remember how much I tipped the masseur but it would typically be in the 1,200 to 1,500 range. I also recall, like on previous visits, that Hero was busy, i.e. comparable to a railway station. Difficult to get any service attention from the mamasan who was trying to cope with 8 or 9 customers at the same time. Do not expect the fawning attention one gets at other massage places. It's a very business-like kind of place, due to the traffic volume they get. I figure there must be quieter moments, though I have yet to discover what time of day that would be. It's also mainly Asian-oriented (Thais and Asian tourists make up the bulk of their customers). The guy that I had in March, for example, spoke not a word of English, but (unusually) had passable Chinese, which was the language we settled on.

North side of Silom about half way between Rama IV and the entrance to soi Twilight. Generally one or two boys are sitting in front of a shop - hairdresser I think - and press you to enter the massage rooms which are upstairs. Basic place but sometimes nice boys, mostly fresh from the farm it seems.
