If all that talk of politics is making you tense, then get yourself down to Banyan Tree Spa for a double dose of pampering. Their Banyan Indulges  package offers a complimentary 30-minute treatment with every purchase of a 90-minute body massage. If your back is in knots, go for the classic, strong pressure Thai massage, or for something less hardcore, check out “Gentle Touch,” a soft to medium massage where soothing, long strokes and thumb pressure are applied in tandem to help you relax and unwind. Finish  off with your choice of body or facial treatment, such as the “Apple Green Tea Polisher” body scrub, the “Honey Avocado Healer” body conditioner or the ultra-firming “Banyan Brilliance” facial. Available through Mar 31. One day advance booking is highly recommended.
