Foot Joy, Bangkok

Foot Joy is located on Sukhumvit Soi 8 near the Nana Station and only few doors away from The Baan Dalah spa that I went to.

The foot massage here is cheap. Priced at only approximately RM25 for 1 hour. I guess for that price, everything is ok!

Nothing to shout about tho. The massage was ok.. The pressure was soft but still, it's quite relaxing to say the least. Definitely worth going.

Health Land, Bangkok

Someone recommended for me to check out this place so I decided to give it a go. As soon as I arrived, I was impressed because A: The carpark outsite the building is packed and full. B: Because the place is pretty huge and C: Because the building looks very nice, reminded me of Carcosa. I knew this was going to be an experience to remember.

As soon as I walked in, I saw so many locals (guests) waiting and sitting at the reception. I didnt know whether they were waiting for their turn or what but all the seats were taken. I walked to the reception and was greeted by this lady, who wore business like outfit in black. She was not friendly at all.

I didnt know what they had there and when I asked the lady, she just pointed to the counter with the spa menu on it. She didnt bother to explain what each were or what..unlike the other spas I've been to where they normally explain what is good and what is not bla bla bla. I was quite pissed off but then I looked at the menu anyway and decided to go for the Aromatherapy Body Massage & Thai Herbal Compress for 2 hours at approximately RM150. The price is ok if you compare it with the price we pay in KL for a massage but for Bangkok standard, I think the price is a bit on the high side.

The place is pretty huge and quite nice overall. The massage was really good actually. The pressure and technique was just nice. I also enjoyed the Thai Herbal Compress which was my first time experience. I really did feel good after the whole 2 hours. I'm glad I found this place. I definitely will come back despite my not so great experience at the reception. Maybe she was just busy!

Baan Dalah Spa, Bangkok

This spa is located on Sukhumvit Soi 8 and not too far away from the Nana Station. There are a number of foot massages around that area and I decided to try this one cuz it looks the nicest. The price is also double compared to the others around the area.

I opted to go for the foot massage. A special kind called the Icy Spicy Foot Massage. Good after a whole day of shopping and walking about.

The massage started with a short foot scrub and rinse.

Then it was the foot wrap where they use this pepermint type of gel for about 5 minutes or so. And then the massage starts. The whole experience was for about another 45 minutes or so. I asked for strong pressure but I'm not too sure if the lady understood what I wanted.

After the foot massage, I was given a hand and shoulder massage for another 10 minutes. The whole experience was interesting and quite nice. All for approximately RM50 per hour. Not too bad.

I'd go again but next time I want to make sure I get that strong pressure that I want! The pressure was too soft for my liking but some might enjoy it..cuz it was very relaxing.

Neglect?

I admit I've been neglecting this blog - I've not been to any new spas lately, which is pissing me off cuz I never have the time to go anymore.

This is bad. I must go and do some pampering soon.

Although it's been rather quiet on this blog, I must say that I still do some maintenance work.
What's that?

Maintenance work involves:

- weekly (at least once a week) reflexology at either Sifu in Bangsar, Sri Petaling place or the place in Sg.Wang
- 2wice a month facial at Dermalogica, BSC
- Back massage at Sam Reflexology

the above is compulsory. It's not me if I dont do the above. So, there you go, it's not that I've been neglecting this or havent been pampering myself - I have..but it's at my usual place so there's not much to blog about.
Obviously they're all good that's why I go there on a regular basis.

I need to find out more spas to go to in KL....

I'll be in Bangkok again this weekend (for fun) and I will make sure I try few new places..
