Quick Cure

Too busy for a proper long spa escape? Visit Relax One Hour (173/1-2 Surawong Rd., 02-634-9500), where you can quickly unwind before heading back to your PC monitor, without the need for a change of clothes or a shower. Designed for the time-short urbanite, the shortest treatment (manicure) takes only 20 minutes (B300) while the longest ones take 90 minutes max. We recommend Floating in the Wind (B1,300), which employs not one but two therapists; Heaven’s Touch (B3,500), a 60-minute four-hand massage; and Sensory Journey (B1,400) which works you with aromatherapy oils. A quick foot reflexology checkup is given to all customers before massage.
