Let's Relax spa blog: The Ultimate Guide to Onsen Spa Etiquettes
We all know the feeling of waking up on a Thursday morning, mentally fatigued from a busy week at work with two more grueling days before the weekend. We all know that 4pm feeling when life’s responsibilities remind us that there aren’t enough hours in the day to finish everything that needs to be done. We all know these feelings because they are with us on a daily basis.
After experiencing the mental and physical strain that comes along with working in a global city like Bangkok, it’s good to know that there is one place you can go to treat yourself to some reprieve. Let’s Relax Spa at the Grande Center Point Hotel in Thong Lor is home to one of the most authentic onsen in Bangkok, and it’s where busy Bangkokians soothe their weary bodies and minds.
Thonglor, a neighborhood in Bangkok’s Sukhumvit area, is considered one of the nicest and fanciest places in the city. Thanks to the area’s history as a quality home for Japanese expats, the area is dotted with Japanese restaurants, izakaya, and onsen. In fact, some even refer to Thonglor as Thailand’s “Little Tokyo”.
Those with a penchant for Japanese cuisine and culture will feel right at home in Thonglor, so much so that one could spend a whole day there indulging in Japanese food and experiences.
To get the ultimate Japanese experience while in Thonglor, we’ve created a list of the most authentic Japanese establishments in the area, including Let’s Relax’s Thonglor Spa and Massage location at Hotel Nikko.
Each year, Bangkok is one of the most visited cities in the world. Travelers from around the globe come to the historic and vibrant Thai capital with expectations of amazing food, unique culture, and adventure around every corner.
Most travelers who visit Thailand will use Bangkok as a jumping off point for exploration to the north or south, setting aside only a few days to explore the city. But with so much to do, travelers on a tight schedule need to plan their moves wisely to maximize time and beat the city’s notoriously bad traffic.
As your plane descends into Trang Airport and the stunning coastal landscape that defines the province appears through the clouds, it’s hard not to get excited about your upcoming vacation. Trang is a traveler’s paradise; it is home to all the natural beauty and exploration opportunities that other provinces like Krabi and Phuket offer while still feeling untouched and preserved.
Travelers to Trang visit the southern Thai province for its wide variety of outdoor activities. For every scuba diver, snorkeler, or kayaker exploring the seas, there is a rock climber, golfer, or hiker taking in the mountains and flora.
A vacation to Krabi is one planned around unwinding and relaxing in the idyllic Andaman Sea. As an ocean-front province in southern Thailand, Krabi welcomes in hordes of tourists each day eager to explore its stunning beaches, picturesque limestone cliffs, and quaint, serene islands.
Krabi’s coastal district of Ao Nang is the center for tourism in the province. Its long stretches of west-facing coastline are populated by hotels and resorts, while its main street is the jumping-off point for transportation to Railay Beach, Koh Phi Phi, Koh Lanta, and more.
Hua Hin is full of fun and exciting things to see. Surrounded by national parks on three sides and the Gulf of Thailand, it’s a paradise of natural beauty. But even the most adventurous visitors to Hua Hin can feel themselves tiring after a day of touring the attractions in and around the town. To ensure that you’re able to appreciate the vibrancy of the town after dark, have a massage in Hua Hin before you head out to dinner or tour the colourful night markets.
Hua Hin is known for the quality and variety of its seafood. But if you’re tired and aching from a day of touring the sights in the hot sun, you may not enjoy your dinner as much as you want to. You may just want to crawl off to bed and hope you feel better in the morning. Having a massage once you’ve finished the activities for the day will rejuvenate you and raise your energy levels. It can provide that extra push you need to make the most of your Hua Hin holiday.
Bangkok is a bustling, busy place where the stresses and strains of city life can take a toll on your body as well as your mental outlook. But if you live near the Thonglor area of the city, there’s a way to counteract all the stress that balancing work and family life can cause. Visiting a Thonglor spa and massage facility every week can strengthen your mind and body and have you enjoying city life once again.
Sukhumvit Road is a shopping and entertainment mecca that attracts people from all over the city. Taking a few hours out of your shopping day to enjoy a Thai massage near Sukhumvit is a smart way to ensure you’re physically and mentally at your peak.
Let’s Relax Spa has three branches of their popular spas in Hua Hin. Part of the reason for the popularity of their spas is because of the wealth of national parks surrounding the seaside town. Visitors to the parks use the spas as a well-deserved treat after a day of exertion.
The town attracts nature-lovers from all over the world. These hikers and naturalists travel to this small town to view the magnificent waterfalls, jungle flora, and rare wildlife of the parks. But the only way to reach these natural treasures is to walk and climb along the numerous lengthy paths and trails within the parks.
A trip to the beautiful tropical island of Phuket can be the holiday of your dreams. With all the sun, sand, and crystal-clear waters, not to mention all the activities and watersports to pursue, your days can be filled from sunrise to sunset. Just be sure to make time for a visit to a spa in Patong in Phuket to ensure that you’re able to make the most of your trip.
With so much to see and do and so little time in which to do it, it’s easy to overexert yourself. And this can lead to coming home exhausted and suffering the effects of too much sun, sand, and salt instead of returning rested and healthy.
Getting out of town, even for just a couple of days, can seem like a guilty pleasure. Your friends and family may be hard at work in the city while you’re basking in the sun on the beaches of Pattaya. But sometimes, it’s these little guilty pleasures that can feel so therapeutic and necessary to help you cope with the stresses of life in the city. So, why not make the most of your time away by visiting a Pattaya massage and spa facility?
