Reviews from Google
We had the most wonderful massage experience at the Shangri-La Hotel Bangkok. The rose and honey massage was truly exceptional — soothing, nourishing, and deeply relaxing. I’ve had many massages before, but this was honestly one of the best I’ve ever experienced. The atmosphere was calm and elegant, the scents were beautiful, and every movement felt perfectly balanced. A very special thank you to our therapists, New and Kitty. They were incredibly kind, professional, and attentive throughout the entire treatment. They regularly checked in to make sure the pressure and comfort were exactly how we wanted it, which made the experience feel very personal and thoughtful. It was also extra special because this massage was a birthday present from my husband. The spa team surprised me with the sweetest birthday card and a lovely little gift to take home — such a thoughtful gesture that made the day even more memorable. We also want to thank Gig and Em at reception, who welcomed us so warmly and made everything smooth from the start. We left feeling completely relaxed, cared for, and genuinely grateful. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Bangkok who wants an exceptional and thoughtful spa experience.
Khun Pui spa service was revitalizing she took good care of me even with my condition she stayed after her time to finish our 2 hour session. Tumeric body scrub was smelled to good my skin so soft and the facial I look like my skin went back in time. Meiw receptionist was able to take my last minute booking when the website said unavailable. Then she also took my last minute add on hour session. I hope to come back again, thank you.
Tha was the wonderfully skilful and kind therapist who gave me the most relaxing treatments today! A strong massage and relaxing facial were perfectly paired. Really the whole experience at Chi spa was perfect. The receptionist Miew was super attentive and professional too. Beautiful Spa And beautiful Service. Would highly recommend.

Tips for Visiting Wellness & Spas
Communicate Pressure Preferences
Thai massage can be intense. Say 'bao bao' for lighter pressure or 'nак nак' for harder. A good therapist will check in, but don't hesitate to speak up — suffering in silence defeats the purpose.
Book Longer Sessions
A 60-minute massage is fine, but 90 or 120 minutes allows the therapist to work thoroughly. The price difference is often only 200–400 THB for an extra hour — worth it for a deeper, more relaxing experience.
Try a Herbal Compress
Add a herbal compress (luk pra kob) to your massage — steamed bundles of lemongrass, turmeric, and camphor pressed into sore muscles. It's deeply therapeutic and uniquely Thai. Usually just 200–300 THB extra.
