Hi gals,
Low,
I oni been to Blooming Spa in BKK so cant comment abt the rest. Here are some package I shortlisted :
1) Spa Buri
The Residence Hotel
588/1 Petchburi Road, Rajtaevee
Bangkok 10400 Thailand
www.spaburi.com
a) Spa Buri Herbal Program(3.30 hrs - 2,760 Baht)
· Spa Buri Herbal Wrap Treatment
The exclusive spa treatment begins with the application of the body glow to prepare the skin for the luxury to follow. A blend of fresh herbs from the Royal Sponsored Projects in Chiang Mai is mixed with sesame oil and fresh milk before being applied. The body is then wrapped in a thermal blanket to encourage absorption of the energy giving herbs. A stimulation-rejuvenating wrap, which is especially beneficial for, dehydrated skin.
· Royal Thai Massage 90 minutes
This style is unique to Thailand involving the application of pressure on the body's energy meridians with a degree of stretching to the muscles. It has an ability to heal, relax and realign the body. The absence of oil and the addition of pajamas distinguish Thai massage from all other massage therapies. Not recommended for those who experience back problems.
· Spa Buri Herbal Pack 60 minutes
The ancient healing treatment of Thai Herbal Pack. The ideal treatment to ease aches,
pains and bruises. This exclusive treatment begins with a steam followed by the gently
body scrub to remove dead skin cells from the body. The body is compressed with warm
special Thai herbal packs on the area that need healing. A special massage of healing
technique eases muscle tension, aches and pains. After the treatment you will enjoy the
feeling of lightness.
b) Spa Buri Harmony Program(3.00 hrs - 2,760 Baht)
· Natural Mud Body Wrap 90 minutes
An abundance of minerals such as magnesium and potassium, along with organic plant and algae residues, absorb impurities whilst stimulating the blood circulation helping to ease aches and pains, and relieve fatigue. Therapeutic sea salts are massaged over the body preparing the skin for the application of the soft warm mud. Reassuringly wrapped in the thermal blanket, followed by a refreshing shower, the final light massage with lotion will leave you with a feeling of complete renewal.
· Swedish Massage 90 minutes
A relaxing massage involving long soothing stokes which work into the muscles and soft tissue relieving stress and tension, improving circulation and muscle tone.

Hello everyone!!!
Im actually from another thread & understand from a galfren that you guys are discussing about going BKK during CNY. Juz wanna drop in some infos on it.
Actually, BKK dun really celebrate CNY so dun worry that all the shops will be closed during this period. Unless you are concentrating on their chinatown area but even so...not all the shops there close as well. ive been travelling to BKK every year for the past 5 years. Last year also went on the 2nd day of CNY but no problems lor....this year Feb 11th, Im going again.
Juz a penny of my knowledge....hope you dun find me busybody ya.....kekeke.....enjoy to all looking forward to this "shopping paradise"!!!

Hi,Low
I had been to Mambo carabet show few years ago.
It's theatre type of show with big stage. You get a free drink of your choice. The seat is like those in cinema and a table for u to placed your drink in between 2 seats. The show was truly enjoyable, very grand and in between there were comical performing, creating funny and relaxing atmosphere. You get to take photos with those performers after the show but must give them tips. Some really daring and wear very exposing dress.
I think ticket is @S$30+, that time we booked thru our taxi driver, so dun know the real price. You can try surfing at yahoo search see got more info.

Hi Littlefoot
I stayed in Asia Hotel during my trip in Dec, they dun provide any water kettle or free mineral water....there's a tap in the bathroom tat says "Drinking Water"....but me n FH bought our own mineral water fr d nearby 7-Eleven instead. As for hot water, u will have to pay....think it's 25 or 30 baht for 1 litre.

Hi celtricia,
I just back on sun. Ya most impt is you guys enjoyed...
Hi Littlefoot,
You can always get the 2 bin plug fm the hotel. It's FOC.
As for water, I find it ok for brushing teeth n bathing. For drinking, its best to get mineral water. Eastin does provides 2 bottle each day.

Hi gals...
Celtricia,
Oh the next time round you must go to Suan Lum - quite happening there tho the price is higher then chatuchak
Yami,
Errr wats abstract? Mine is definately not scenary. I paid S$190+ for a 1.5m x 1.1m oil painting. The price does not includes frame cos too big n troublesome to bring back. I spent slightly less dan S$100 to frame up in spore.
Sweet,
Yes yes must bargain!! Btw, just wondering do you ve icq by the name of cottoncandy?
