OASIS
SPA

Oasis Spa’s slogan is
“Oasis Spa loves you.”
And we think you’re bound
to love Oasis back.

W

e’re willing to bet that just
about everyone you know
is stressed out in one way
or another—probably in multiple
ways—and by “everyone” we mean
you as well. We work too much and
sleep too little. And, though Bangkok
is an exciting to place to live, it can be
tiresome amid the noise and pollution. But even in a city such as ours,
hidden retreats exist.
You’ll discover that Oasis Spa is
one of these retreats. Located near
Phrom Phong BTS, the spa is set on a
pretty plot of green land (the likes of
which we don’t see often in central
Bangkok), creating space between
the treatment rooms and the city
street.
Walk up to the peaceful property,
remove your shoes, and step inside a
spacious and fragrant waiting room
to cool down with a chilled, subtle
ginger tea and a cool towel. While
you’re enjoying your tea, fill out the
customer survey so the attentive staff
can find out exactly how to adjust
their treatment techniques based
on your health requirements and
preferences.
There are many massages and spa
treatments from which to choose.
We recommend the Coconut
Body Scrub and the King of Oasis

your muscles relax under the tension-relieving pressure of a two-hour
deep tissue massage.

COCONUT SCRUB, ONEHOUR TREATMENT
The beautiful scent of coconut alone
is enough to make it spa-worthy, but
it’s so much more than that: Coconut
contains antibacterial and antifungal

properties. It’s high in Vitamin E.
And it contains antioxidants. Taken
together, this means that coconut
is both healing and anti-aging. We
could say that coconut is a “super”
spa item and hence an excellent
choice for treatment, if you have a
dry, sensitive or normal skin type and
want your skin to feel smooth and
hydrated.
Your therapist will apply the oilbased treatment all over your body in
circular motions, as you relax in your
tranquil treatment room. The organic coconut scrub gently sloughs off
