Spas
Unless you’ve spent your entire visit in an
air-conditioned bubble (entirely possible in
today’s Bangkok), at some point you’re going
to need to rid yourself of the negative eff ects
of the city’s urban environment. This can take
the form of a simple scrub or can involve
multistage treatments involving a customised
choice of aromas and oils, a team of staff and
possibly even acupuncture needles. There
are countless spas in Bangkok now, many of
them located in the city’s high-end hotels with
high-end price tags to match. To round down
your choices, visit http://www.spasinbangkok.com
or consider one of the following:

the premier spas in the world, the Oriental
