CHI, The Spa at Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok

Chi, The Spa, in the famed Shangri La Hotel, is one of the premiere Bangkok spa options, and it has been ranked and awarded as one of the best and most luxurious spas in the world by numerous publications. Named after the Chinese "qi," the universal life force that governs well being, spa techniques here focus on releasing blockages that stop the chi element from flowing freely. You can start your pampering off with a hot stones treatment, where heated stones are used to warm up and relax the body. Unique treatments here include a jasmine rice body glow, in which ground black jasmine rice is blended with a mix of herbs and honey and used as a body scrub to rub away dry skin. You can follow this up with mud wraps and even pink caviar sheet facials. No blemish will be left unpampered at this elite Bangkok spa.
