Despite its rather infamous reputation for "happy endings," Bangkok is actually one of the world's best places to get pampered in, and Thai massage and spa treatments are now renowned worldwide.
Whether it be a local Wat Pho trainee massage for just a few hundred baht or the most upscale of spas, you won't go wrong in the City of Angels as there are just so many options to choose from. At the top of the list are some of the gorgeous spas in the city's finest hotels. Also high on the signature treatment list is Divana Nurture Spa where a Thai rice wine body soak, lotus seed body mask, and honey bath are just part of the incredible four-hour treatments.
For something not quite as pricey, the locals flock to Health Land , with an array of venues that are comfortable, cool, and very wallet-friendly, as are the unique set of treatments at Loft Thai Spa , where you can indulge in a four hands massage with two expert therapists or try a Thai Warrior treatment, where the techniques date from the s, used on Thai soldiers returning from battle.
Yunomori Onsen replicates the Japanese hot spring experience and is an excellent place to relax for several hours if you are looking for an alternative to just a regular massage. The list of pampering possibilities is really endless in Bangkok. Voted best luxury spa in Bangkok, So Spa at the chic Sofitel So offers great all around spa treatments.
The location is magnificent, with treatment rooms overlooking Lumpini Park with a bird's eye view. Then there are the treatments, which range from a Turkish hammam bath where you can soak on heated marble and then get scrubbed from head to toe to getting body massages and facials using world-renowned Cinq Mondes and Ytsara brands.
