The Imperial Spa only employs therapists who cut their teeth at the Phothalai spa school, which derived all its methods from Wat Pho. The signature Touch of Raweekalaya Massage takes you through either a 60- or 120-minute (B1,200-1,800) journey of bliss using  Donna Chang oil. Or go for a simple foot massage at B550, or Thai massage at B600—shop-house prices in a colonial-luxe, boutique setting. 

 

This new spa comes decked out in a clean and minimal style. Calm Spa takes a chic mid-century route through pastel colors, Danish furnishings and contrasting concrete and greenery. They use their own organic spa products and you can expect most treatments to run well into four figures. Try a 90-minute Thai massage with salt clay pot for B2,500 or an upper body office syndrome massage at B1,100.

 

This rustic and homey spa sits in a two-story house on Sukhumvit Soi 38. Surrounded by lush greenery, it offers the usual array of massage services: traditional Thai (B600), warm aroma (B1,000), warm candle (B1,400) and foot reflexology (B650). Still, the spa does stand out for its head-and-face-focused massages (B250 for 15 mins) and Moroccan-style decor—stucco walls and little niches with candles.
