August is approaching! It’s time to start thinking of ways to pamper your mom and express appreciation for her on Mother’s Day. This annual occasion celebrating the first love of your life calls for some personal family time, away from work and business for once, giving full focus and attention on the special woman in your life. A delicious lunch meal is nice, but might be too chaotic if it’s the holidays. A flower bouquet is very cliché and not very practical. A surprise gift might be great, but choosing the right thing she likes might be tricky. How about a spa or massage package? Not only will both of you get to relax and unwind together in a quiet and serene atmosphere for a few hours, but it’s a good boost for the body’s circulatory health and mental wellness as well. Let’s check out these spa and massage parlors that you can book with convenience.

First off, this is definitely one of the most well-known luxurious massage and spa places in Bangkok, with branches in the heart of the city like Sukhumvit 31 and Thonglor 20, and more branches in other areas of Thailand like Pattaya, Chiangmai, and Phuket. At Oasis Spa, they have all your standard massage options like Traditional Thai Massage and Aromatherapy Hot Oil Massage, but also have packages for pregnant women or even for kids too in case you want to bring the whole family along. Whether it’s other unique choices here like Ayurvedic Head Massage, Golden Gold Hot Oil Massage, Himalayan Salt Scrub, and many facial treatments and hair treatments, they’ve all got them!

Another well-loved chain of massage parlors located conveniently mostly in department stores all over the country, Let’s Relax offers mid-range pricing that gives you the full experience. With 29 branches mostly at all the crucial BTS and MRT locations, and even in Chiangmai and Hua Hin, you definitely should check out their wide array of health and wellness services. At Thonglor, they even offer an onsen bath as if you’re traveling to Japan. Our favorite choice though? Definitely the Four-Hands Thai Massage with Hot Herbal Compress, an absolute relaxation experience with two therapists working at the same time. And don’t forget other packages that target different habits and lifestyles like Golfer’s Heaven for sports lovers, and Blooming Life for those who want to both relax the sore muscles and revitalize skin and face.

Next, we can’t talk about massage without mentioning Health Land! This spa and massage parlor has 8 locations in Bangkok: Asoke, Sathorn, Ekkamai, Praditmanutham, Srinakarin, Pinklao, Chaeng Wattana, and Rama II, plus more in Pattaya and Chiangmai. Health Land offers many popular choices but not just Thai massage you’re familiar with. They also have Ayurvedic treatments like Abhyanga which uses herbal oil and soft to medium pressure, Shiroabhyanga which focuses on Marma Points, and Shirodhara which adds the practice of applying continuous warm oil on the area between your brows. You will experience a massage like no other place but with a friendly price that guarantees quality.

Despite having only 2 city locations, Erb Spa, consisting of Erb Bliss Room (Gaysorn Village) and Erb Spa Warehouse 20 (Charoen Krung) excels with their exceptional service in the concept of “Siamese royal court wisdom”, and the services that use their own premium products to ensure highest quality. Try out their Signature Treatments such as Eastern Voyage hands and feet massage for those always on the go, Rattanakosin Body Massage that combines pressure points with stretching and bending of the body, or the unique Erb Hot Lava Stone Reflexology Foot Massage with mineral stones that transfers the perfect thermal temperature for releasing muscles.

Bored of normal massage and spa packages that you have tried countless times over? How about you step into a ryokan like you can find in Japan, but in the middle of Bangkok. The ambience of this Yumoto Onsen bathhouse and spa will make you and your special lady feel as if you’re going on a retreat. Choose a sauna & onsen, or sauna + onsen + aromatherapy massage, or other packages for 2 persons for best value, and you can even get a THREE™ Balancing Facial Treatment for absolute pampering here. (Don’t worry if you’re a bit shy, they have a single onsen for you to choose!) Afterwards, the onsen also has regular massage courses like Royal Thai Massage, Relaxing Foot Massage and Head Back and Shoulder Massage to relieve your sore muscles too right when it’s most relaxed too.
