A Spa Above All in Bangkok

Thursday, 10 Apr, 2009 0

It was not a manic Monday for me. It was a tranquil Monday instead when the sun rose that beautiful morning. I knew in advanced that all I had to do was 2 hours of meeting, and then I am off to my appointment at noon. The appointment that I look forward to, that is certain. The highlight of the week for me as well! At 11.58am, I arrive on the 4th sub-soi of Sukhumvit Soi 31. Lush greeneries greeted my arrival. Two beautiful women also in green, waited at the door, smiling ever so sweetly. We are just steps away from ultimate pampering. We have arrived at the Bangkok Oasis Spa.

In Bangkok, no one does it better than Bangkok Oasis Spa –they aspire to provide a nest of serenity and wholesomeness for us all. Headquarters in Chiangmai, they have spread their wings over the years. They now have branches in Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket.

After downing their soothing ice tea (a special in-house recipe by the way), I was already relaxed. Amidst the tranquility which was only interrupted by melodic sea waves, I sat down to choose the spa package for the day. I started with the Ayuverdic Head Massage. A brief facial prelude the head massage itself which was in fact, a real ‘killing’ – I journeyed into a meta-relaxed state.

Everything else was a world away. The climax of this massage was when the pot of warm oil, placed strategically above my head began its journey – a steady stream trickled down on my forehead. The anticipation of it mixed with the gushing feeling of warm liquid created this bubble of repose that soothes the soul. After a mere ten minutes or so, I could literally hear myself dozing off and snoring! One word sums it: Power!

Onwards I indulged myself in their signature 4 Hand Massage. If synchronous massage was a team sport, the gold medal goes to Oasis. And if the Ayurveda treatment was the overture in this concerted effort, the 4 hand massage was the main symphony. It was a masterpiece of bliss from start to the end. Both masseurs were in sync in strength and direction. Long legato strokes; short staccato kneads at specific points to release my inner energy. All four hands synergize to untie all knots and release all stiff joints.

“Many celebrities frequent our spa. We are special”. I recalled Khun Earth Saiswang, the Director of PR/Communications telling me that earlier. Now I understood why. Oasis Spa has compelling products that set them apart. The location and surrounding are second to none. Now this is what compelling differentiators mean. Oasis Spa has successfully stayed a step ahead of competition.
