Spas
Unless you've spent your entire visit in an air-conditioned bubble (entirely possible in
today's Bangkok), at some point you may want to rid yourself of the negative effects of
the city's urban environment. This can take the form of a simple scrub or multistage treat-
ments with a customised choice of aromas and oils and a team of staff. There are count-
less spas in Bangkok, many of them in the city's high-end hotels with high-end price tags
to match. To round down your choices, visit

or consider one of
the following:
