Enjoying your holiday in Bangkok, and wondering which types of massage treatments and the best places to enjoy them? Here is a curated and comprehensive guide to Bangkok's massage culture!
Showcasing an inviting yet sleek interior design, Let's Relax Spa has been around for more than 20 years and has garnered a stellar reputation for offering some of the best aromatherapy treatments and authentic Thai massage. Additionally, this spa is located in a prime location, offering tired tourists a quiet and refined space to relax in - away from the incessant hustle and bustle of Bangkok city. One can opt to choose a traditional Thai massage, which can be elevated to hot stone or the famed 4-hand Thai massage. The best part is that at the end of your chosen treatment, you will be treated to a complimentary cookie or a delicious dish of mango sticky rice dessert.
Located within the quiet confines of Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel, this particular spa and wellness centre offers weary travellers an indulgent escape from the fast-paced nature of the capital, by keeping with many Bangkok Siam hotel options. Here one has the luxury of rejuvenating in refined comfort while choosing from a range of healing therapies, treatments and tailored wellness programs.
Featuring unique décor and a mystic theme, Divana happens to have multiple branches scattered in strategic locations throughout Bangkok. Divana is known for offering some great spa treatment packages such as their Office Syndrome Remedy. This package is a lifesaver, especially if you are seeking to combat a busy lifestyle. The treatment combines a deep tissue massage that targets the back, shoulders and head to relieve inflammation and chronic pain.
This spa specialises in aromatherapy massage and light force using fingers and hands as opposed to the pulling and stretching of the muscles to target deep tissue. Opting for their 90-minute signature massage is highly recommended. Their incorporation of essential oils is a particular treat for sore muscles. THANN is also renowned for its in-house skincare brand and the usage of hot stones and natural herbs in its treatments.
An award-winning chain, the RarinJinda Wellness Spa is well-known for its famous Ayurvedic Soothing Sleep Aid Package, which incorporates a range of special massage techniques. Opting for this package means that highly trained specialists will focus on one's shoulders, upper back, neck and hands during the first stage of the treatment. The second treatment will include the Thai massage technique. The third stage will finally bring out the healing touch of Indian Ayurveda Therapy. This part of the treatment includes medicated oil being gently dripped on your forehead, followed by a light yet skilled massage between your eyes to ease your mind and relax the scalp.
Decidedly different to the spas mentioned earlier, Oasis Spa boasts of a serene, open-space concept filled with beautiful greenery, plenty of fresh air and gently trickling water – instantly transporting you to your very own oasis of calm, removed from the chaotic environs of the city. Here expert therapists offer a variety of curated treatments and services that are sure to leave you feeling relaxed and completely refreshed!
