place to indulge in a blissful weekend.

Guests at Le Spa with L’Occitane at Sofitel Bangkok
Sukhumvit start each treatment by customising the room’s
atmosphere, choosing a scent developed by L’Artisan
Parfumeur Paris, pillows and duvets from the Sofitel My Bed
collection, and their preferred background accompaniment.
Further speciality is found in unique programmes designed
to bring relief to mothers-to-be, families, and busy
executives. As the only spa in Bangkok partnered with the
renowned skincare brand L’Occitane, guests are assured a
truly exclusive experience that combines Mediterranean-
French philosophies with the finest traditions of Thailand’s
healing arts to release deep tension, encourage flexibility
and enhance radiance.

technique from Northern Thailand with elements of wood,

earth, water, fire and metal for a soothing experience that

encourages deep relaxation and rejuvenation.
