Relax, restore, and rejuvenate. 
Traditional Thai massage, herbal treatments and Asian beauty therapies, from the original source to the modern spa. If the shopping or daily stress gets too much, treat yourself to any number of wonderful selections of treatments and massage available in hotels or privates spas throughout Bangkok.

In Thailand spas provide not just a gorgeous pampering session but a balance for the mind, body and spirit. Combining western and Asian techniques to release stress and promote well-being, spas provide a perfect environment in which to calm the mind and balance the body.

Most offer traditional massage techniques and herbal treatments which have been used for centuries in Thailand's Buddhist temples, complemented by western treatments like aromatherapy and Swedish massage in one package.

Traditional Thai massage has been practiced here for centuries and is very different from the usual "soft" or kneading style of some European style massages.

It is believed the technique was developed by monks to achieve a balance between the mind and body during extended periods of immobile meditation.

One of the most important aspects of Buddhism, meditation is viewed as essential to cleanse the mind in order to achieve clarity and inner peace.

If you have time, or perhaps just interested in spending a few hours away from the hustle and bustle, you can learn meditation techniques from English speaking teachers at the Vipassana Meditation Center (Wat Mahatat) Located close to Sanam Luang, the Wat Mahatat temple complex has a school where Buddhist monks have been giving classes in meditation for over 40 years. The main teacher speaks good English.

If you've ever uttered the words "My feet are killing me", you should love this section. Reflexology is over 5,000 years old, but didn't enter the alternative health field until around 20 years ago. Following the pressure points on the feet, the massage "unlocks" energy flows, reaching other parts of the body, improving blood circulation to enable a restoration of the body's natural equilibrium. It works!
