Chi, The Spa at Shangri-La Bangkok

4.9(1,037 reviews)

Tucked on Level 2 of the Krungthep Wing at Shangri-La Bangkok, Chi Spa offers a refined wellness escape within one of the city's most established riverside hotels. The setting is calm and sophisticated, providing genuine relief from the pace of the city outside, and draws both hotel guests and day visitors seeking professional treatments in an elegant, unhurried environment. Therapists here are consistently singled out by visitors for their skill and personal attentiveness, with several named individually in reviews — a strong sign of care that goes beyond standard hotel spa service. Signature treatments include the rose and honey massage and turmeric body scrub, while traditional Thai massage and facial therapies round out a varied menu. Reviewers frequently note how well different treatments pair together, with strong therapeutic technique complementing a deeply relaxing atmosphere. Good to know: Chi Spa sits within a five-star hotel and is priced accordingly, so visitors should factor this into their budget before booking. It is a popular choice for travellers looking to decompress on a final day before a long-haul flight, so advance reservations are strongly recommended. The spa is accessible by BTS Saphan Taksin station or by taxi, making it a practical option even for those not staying at the Shangri-La. Contact the hotel directly for current treatment menus, pricing, and availability.

Visitor Reviews

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.

What a way to end my trip to thailand. I had a facial and head massage before my red eye to Seoul. It was incredibly relaxing, and I feel ready to take on a 25 hour travel day. This spa is more expensive than the street side massage/facial shops but worth every penny. My therapist was Bua and Gig at reception were both lovely. The only weird thing is trying to find the spa. It felt like a maze from the hotel lobby. Not sure if there’s an easier route.

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.

Tips for Visiting Wellness & Spas

Learn Wat Pho First

Wat Pho in Bangkok is the birthplace of traditional Thai massage education. Their on-site massage pavilion offers excellent treatments from students and graduates at reasonable prices — and you know the technique is authentic.

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.
