The Eight Spa, Bangkok
Tired? Stressed? Bummed out from work and life in general? It’s times like this when you know you need a nice smoothing massage. It serves to lift your spirits and offer that instant pick-me-up to continue getting you through the matters on hand. Now one question you might have in mind is ‘what’s the best massage available?’ Well the answer to that question must be a Thai massage.
Thailand is famous for its massages. The philosophy of Thai massage focuses on applying force on the pressure points. Trained masseurs must go through rigorous training and clear the relevant courses before they become qualified masseurs. In order not to get ripped off by fly-by-night masseurs, one should always go to a reputable establishment.
The Eight Spa in Sivatel Bangkok offers just what is required. Finding this business hotel will not be a hassle as it is located right in the heart of Bangkok along the well known Ratchaprasong shopping district. All taxi drivers in Bangkok will know where this hotel is. If taking the BTS skytrain, the hotel is located a short 5 minutes walk away from the Phloen Chit station. So Sivatel Bangkok ranks high in terms of convenience.
The Eight Spa located on the eight floor of Sivatel Bangkok offers a quiet sanctuary of peace and relaxation, away from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. A soft lit setting welcomes guests who venture in with modern day Thai music playing in the background. With a warm and comforting environment, it can be aptly described as heaven on Earth.
