100, 150 - 200 bht for foot massage (1 hour), 120 - 250 bht/hour for Traditional Thai massage (2 hours min.) depending on what location you have. Small tip ranging from 50 - 100, 200 bht is normal.

The going rate for a Thai massage and or a foot/leg massage is about 250 baht. Many places are offering 200 baht. However rates go up from there. Typical rates in hotels are around 500 baht and up. In the tourist areas there is a lot of competition so walk down the street first before deciding.

Depends what area of Thailand and what areas you wish massaged. I had a great 2 hour massage at lee gardens in hat yai last weekend for 400b, nothing better than watching a great football game while getting massaged, although the game isn't really conducive to the whole relaxation bit lol. Foot massages can be had for 50b just about everywhere, but I'm not sadistic enough to try it again, not a big fan of pain. Some places are a bit more pricey, and extra services can tack on to the price as well. If you go to the resorts massages can cost you a bloody arm and a leg. Anywhere with high tourist traffic, or rather high money traffic has pretty high prices, but still relatively inexpensive compared to what you'd pay elsewhere in the world.

you go to the tourist places and you get charged anywhere from 250 baht and up and up and up. Where I live I get a massage for 150 baht 1 hour, or 250 for 2 hours, foot massage is 180 baht. She is trained at Wat Po and she is very good,

Depending on where you are, cost from 150baht/hour upwards. Sometimes, you can even get a 2-hour massage for 200baht too. Check with the teller. You actually can bargain off their publish rate even! If business is slow, they will accept your bargain for a lower price :)
In the hotels, it will be more, going from 400baht upward, so best to go to a massage centre for your massage. And if you are worry about pain, tell them to be gentle. "Bao bao" will get the message across.

These others are truly giving you overpriced quotes. The going rates for legitimate massage in Bangkok are between 150 - 600 baht , and several decent places are available near the guest houses of Khao Sarn Rd.
If you wish to have any illegitimate activities be prepared to pay 1000 baht and well above. Personally I would like to hang every hooker screwer in the country and feed their carcasses to the stray dogs in Pattaya, but thats just me.
You can also go to Wat Po in Bangkok and get massaged in the excact location that Thai massage originated from. Decent massage but I found the ones on Khao Sarn alot better. You can lay there all day for 30 US and kill your hangover!

It really depends where you go; in the smaller cities you will be charged less as is usually with most things, for example I payed 300baht for 2 hour massage in Pai. In bigger citties like Bangkok or Chiang Mai they are more expensive.

From 250 (feet only) upwards depending on how long you want it. For 1000 bht you will get an amazing full body massage.
