I had a truly terrific experience here at Shangri-la's Chi Spa in Bangkok. From the time I arrived in the spa - after some 23 hours of flying - I felt like the staff really took care of me. Maybe I looked haggard after all that flying haha... or maybe it's because the folks here are super professional and caring. Nothing was rushed, every detail, it seemed, was considered, and I was cared for like one would want to care for a family member or someone who needed some real TLC. I booked the Siamese Massage with a body scrub package and because I'm a Shangri-la Golden Circle member, they threw in a facial treatment of some sort (a really nice touch by the way) and everything was nothing short of glorious. I was so relaxed that I felt I was in a waking-dream state. I would do this anytime, any day and especially at the Chi Spa. I would like to mention, in particular, that my masseuse, Ya, had the healing touch of an angel. Believe me. And, the front desk staff, Gig and Miew, were highly lovely and helpful. So, bottom line, if you're wanting a massage in Bangkok and you're staying at the Shangri-la? Run, don't walk to this Spa and get a booking! You'll thank your lucky stars for it. If you're not staying at the Shangri-la, that's your first mistake. :-) You can make up for it, however, by letting the amazing people at Chi work their magic on your tired, worn-out and wanting body. Your body will thank you for it and you'll remember that some guy wrote exactly how wonderful it was in his review. And, he...
Read moreI have been coming to the Chi Spa at the Shangri-La hotel for almost 10 years. This place is an oasis in the middle of bustling Bangkok. Set in a quieter part of the hotel complex, the spa is beautiful and smells delicious (as do the array of massage oils you can choose from, though I always opt for lemongrass).
This visit, I had two treatments. After my 24 hours of travel I got the 45 minute back and shoulder massage to work out the kinks. My therapist, Pui, listened to what I wanted and applied the perfect amount of pressure. For those with only a short window of time, this massage is perfect.
Later in my Shangri-La stay, I booked a 90 minute aromatherapy massage with Tunya. It begins with a foot bath and then 90-minutes of relaxation nirvana. The beds are really comfortable and the room had a view out onto the river. Tunya was also wonderful at responding to requests for attention to my sore shoulder and getting the right pressure.
The entire experience was made even better by the attentive reception staff, led by Miew on my first visit. You begin your treatment with a delicious glass of iced lemongrass tea and end with a hot ginger tea - both of which are delicious (I could drink the iced lemongrass tea by the liter!).
I come to the Shangri-La in Bangkok every year, and every year I have several treatments at Chi. It has remained excellent since my first visit and I recommend it...
Read moreMy husband and I recently indulged in a spa experience at Chi, The Spa at the Shanghai La in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The experience exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we stepped into the serene oasis, we knew we were in for a treat. The ambiance was immediately calming, with welcoming staff that made us feel at home.
We both opted for a combination of massages and facials, and each treatment was nothing short of perfection. My therapist was Ms. May and my husband had Ms. Ae. They were both highly skilled and attentive, ensuring that every knot and tension point was expertly addressed. The massage was a harmonious blend of deep tissue techniques and gentle strokes that left us feeling utterly relaxed and rejuvenated.
Following the massage, we enjoyed facials. Our skin felt hydrated, fresh, and had a noticeable glow. The facial included a luxurious mask, gentle exfoliation, and a blissful facial massage that complemented the earlier treatments perfectly.
What truly set this spa experience apart was the attention to detail and the personalized service. Every aspect was designed to enhance our comfort and relaxation. The staff's professionalism and genuine care for our well-being made the experience even more special.
My husband and I left feeling completely pampered and refreshed. We highly recommend this spa to anyone looking for a relaxing and...
