Whenever I come to Bangkok, the first thing that I must do is to have a good body scrub and massage. It is only after the luxurious treatment that I will feel fully charged and ready to explore the land of smiles. Over the years, I’ve tried many spas and my favourite spa establishment is Thann Sanctuary.

I will usually begin my first treatment with a 60-minute body scrub followed by another 90 minutes of body massage. I’m very particular with the spa products because my sensitive skin will react badly to inferior quality products.  This is the reason why I’ve grown to like Thann Sanctuary because of its high quality products. Spa guests have the option of using the oil-based Aromatic Salt Scrub or cream-based Corn Cob Scrub. The latter is recommended for those with sensitive skin. Regardless of the scrub, your skin will feel silky smooth after a 60-minute treatment.

After a quick shower, the treatment continues with the body massage. I chose to have the Thann Sanctuary Signature Massage, a deep tissue treatment. This treatment incorporates firm palm, thumb and forearm pressure to relieve and heal muscular aches and pains. I wouldn’t recommend this treatment if you prefer lighter pressure for your massage. I got to try Thann’s latest Lavender & Rosemary Bath & Massage Oil. I really like the smoothing lavender scent in the oil and it helps me to relax during massage.

150 minutes later, I emerged from Thann Sanctuary Spa feeling so refreshed and relaxed. And I know I will be back two days later to pamper myself again before I head home to a hectic lifestyle.
