BHAWA SPA on the eight — Local services in Khlong Toei Subdistrict

You are looking for the best message in Bangkok? Don’t look further, it is right here. I stayed at a hotel on the same street for 6 weeks. Since this was an extended stay, I really needed to find some qualified place for my massages. Before coming to Bangkok I was in Krabi and Koh Samui where I had some pretty decent massages, but it was not even close to the high quality massages I received at this spa. The whole experience always started from the main door where one of their ladies would hand me a pair of leather slippers in exchange of my own shoes. After this, while seated on one of their comfortable sofas, you will get a welcome fresh fruit (and maybe a sweet tapioca with coconut milk cookie) plus a very refreshing lychee drink. Then one of their assistants will approach you and ask about the type of massage you would like to get. After this you will be taken to an amazing backyard (as if you are in some kind of mini paradise) and you will walk through a lush garden until you reach another building where the massages take place. You will be assigned like a mini apartment where you will take off your clothes and put on one of the most amazing bathrobes you have ever tried. It is black and it is ultra comfortable. Then you will most likely be invited to sit down and get a foot soak followed by a short foot massage. And only after this your massage will start. My therapist was super good at applying the right pressure on my back, so much that she always made me fall asleep. At the end of the bliss you will receive an amazing head massage and then you will be invited to put on your clothes and go back to the reception area where a few delicious surprises will be waiting for you. I love their mango sticky rice. Their tea is also amazing. They were always kind to my husband and daughter who were coming to pick me up every single time and were also served a delicious treat. Thank you for letting me buy one of your bathrobes! It is very useful during my travels around the world. Hope to visit you...

I’ve tried a lot of other spa/massage places and Bhawa Spa On The Eight is the BEST. The price may be higher than other massage places, but it is worth it! I purchased the package on Klook the first time, but they also offer 15% off if you pay cash at the premises. I have very tight shoulder traps from work and stress and always suffer from muscle pain. There are hard knots around the neck and shoulder area and that’s why I selected the Stress & Anxiety 120 minutes Package (Massage). The services are amazing, including Welcome Drink, filling in the preferences form (to inform them which parts of the body would like to be focused on when massaging etc), room products availability (after-shower, there is sunscreen available for use) and there is a small dessert with hot tea after the massage. I enjoyed every moment of the massage and I will be coming back when I next visit Bangkok. Both my partner and I think that they are very experienced and are very specific to your request (when you fill in your profile form at the start). Thank you!...

There’s no shortage of spas in Bangkok — from budget options to luxury experiences. Since I only had a few days in BKK, and had seen so many people recommending Bhawa Spa on the Eight in Sukhumvit, I decided to give it a try even though it’s not the cheapest.

First of all, the space is beautiful and peaceful — not crowded or noisy like some other places. But most importantly, when it comes to spa treatments, it’s all about the technique, and the therapists here were truly excellent. The service was attentive, the massage was strong and skilful, and overall it was incredibly relaxing.

After the spa, they even served mango sticky rice, and a staff member asked if I’d like Thai tea. Of course I said yes — I love Thai tea! Later, they realized they had run out, and to make up for it, they offered everyone a hand cream instead. I felt bad and ended up not taking it.

Next time I’m in Bangkok and looking for a spa, I’ll definitely return to Bhawa Spa...
