Joining the abundance of new retail and restaurants at Gaysorn Village (including the much anticipated Lonely Two Legged Creature by Duangrit Bunnag) is the first spa-slash-store by Thai spa-goods brand Erb. Its cool mint rooms feature ivy and flower installations created by funky, local headdress designer Eric Tobua. Drop by for spa programs like the gold facial therapy (B4,900). You can also grab products from Erb’s latest collection, Seven Pollen (from B1,950).
If the persistent rain has left you in dire need of a revitalization, then Lavish Salon and Spa is the answer. Inside a marble-clad room in Bandara Residence, a team of well-coiffed stylists offers cuts (from B700), perms (starting at B5,000) and special scalp detox treatments (B2,500) to give your ‘do that extra bit of zhoosh. Step further inside to the spa for Indian head massage with warm coconut oil (B990) or the two-hour aromatherapy warm oil massage and herbal steam (B2,300).
The Panpuri Organic Spa inside the Park Hyatt Hotel has an airy, modernist vibe. White furniture and sleek marble flooring are the backdrop to cutting-edge facilities: crystal steam rooms, saunas and “experience showers,” where relaxing acoustics blend harmoniously with rejuvenating aromas. The Panpuri Ultimate Indulgence treatment (foot massage, full body massage, facial, body wrap and scrub, 210 minutes) costs B9,800 and the Pan-vimarn Heavenly Touch of Paradise (150 minutes) is B6,800.
