10 Places Where Women Can Get Pampered In Bangkok

Thailand is well-known for having an abundance of beauty amenities available at a fraction of what they’d cost elsewhere. From massage parlors to hairdressers, it is not uncommon for customers to spend as little as a few bucks at any one of these places. That being said, do not be surprised if the service coincides with the price. To save you from any beauty pitfalls, here are the best places in Bangkok to get pampered.

Crystal Spa

Spa

Crystal Spa is all about convenience. For one, it is located a mere handful of steps from the BTS Skytrain Station Phra Khanong, so spa-goers can quickly get in and out of Bangkok’s suffocating heat. Once inside, customers are greeted by a friendly staff and more than a few services to sort through before deciding which spa treatment to go for. Waxing, facials, body massages, scrubs, manicures, pedicures: there is seemingly no service that Crystal Spa does not offer. Those travelers on a budget might opt for a traditional Thai massage (฿450) or a manicure (฿400). The more lavish the service, the higher the price, however, most of Crystal Spa’s packages range between ฿400-1,800, which is a steal in comparison to other countries.

Ruen-Nuad Massage Studio

Spa

As one of the most affordable studios on the list, the Ruen-Nuad Massage Studio is great for travelers who want a luxurious spa experience without paying luxurious spa prices. A traditional Thai massage starts at only ฿350 for an hour. The studio is also incredibly inviting and relaxing, set inside a charming homestyle spa with wooden decor and green foliage throughout. The salon provides city-goers an escape from the chaos of the capital, even though it is located in the heart of downtown off the BTS Skytrain Station Sala Daeng.

Wat Pho Thai Traditional Medical and Massage School

Kill two birds with one stone at Wat Pho. This famous and majestic temple in the Old City of Bangkok is home to some incredible architecture, the legendary golden, reclining Buddha, and (surprisingly enough) a massage school. Because it is a school, the massages here are pretty reasonably priced, with a traditional hour-long Thai massage for ฿420 on the temple grounds. Foot massages (฿420), facial massages (฿820), and aroma massages (฿800) are just a few other services offered at the Wat Pho Traditional Massage School.

Those looking for a more traditional Thai massage should head to Divana Spa’s location off the BTS Skytrain Station Asok. Those hoping to check out its medical spa should instead head to its location off Phloenchit. Regardless, Divana Spa is sure to provide customers with a memorable experience.

Asia Herb Association

Spa

Asia Herb Association is no ordinary spa. It utilizes different herbal remedies, including a Thai herbal compress. The use of a compress, especially when heated, is very relaxing, and it is said to have a number of different benefits in addition to just feeling really, really good. Some of the benefits include relieving both stress and fatigue, and some claim it goes as far as to help with blood circulation. This is not the only thing that Asia Herb Association offers, however. In addition to the compress treatment, this spa offers traditional Thai massages (฿500), head and shoulder massages (฿500), scrubs, facials, and more.
