Just a massage was definitely not enough for my dear who wanted to relax in Bangkok. It is a good idea to have a SPA treatment after whole day shopping.
I am not qualified to comment SPA quality as I seldom experience this. This is the third time for me so I just shared how I have experienced this.
The room for COUPLE SPA is relatively limited, so making an appointment in advance is a must.
When making appointment online, you have to set a date/time and pay in advance.
Therefore, we phoned to HEALTH LAND after arrival for appointment, which is Tuesday.
No prepaid is needed for phone reservation. Finally we selected 6:30 PM on Wednesday, which is the last time period we can select.
The staff asked me whether it was alright to change rooms after taking a bath at Jacuzzi.
I thought I have no choice as it was a last-minute reservation.
It is very important to have SPA treatment in a company with goodwill, so you will be safe and really be relaxed. HEALTHLAND is quite famous in Bangkok, and the prices are relatively affordable. The package we booked is SPA JACUZZI - Natural Reviver (PACKAGE FOR 2 GUESTS). It costs 9,000 BAHT (approximately HKD 2,000) for two people, which is the "the most luxurious level" on the price list, but not expensive comparatively other big brand.
The SPA treatment in Let Relax is limited. There were 4 options for treatment including Jacuzzi.
In Hong Kong, I believe we have to pay 5 times charge for similar treatment.
It took about 5-6 minutes walking from GRAND CENTRA, go around to TERMINAL 21 and you will find HEALTHLAND just behind the mall. I suspected that I was going the wrong way as it was old resident area...until I saw the big sign which was easy-to-recognize.
Walking into the lobby, there was a place selling aromatherapy oils or SPA-related items in front of the reception desk. The side hall was full of customers from different countries waiting for different kinds of treatment.
The layout of HEALTHLAND was in a simple style.
"Mr MAK - 2 persons for Jacuzzi" The receptionist led us to the first floor.
I walked into a large room. There is a separate toilet and shower room, a table and seating for two Welcome Tea set. Undoubtedly, the JACUZZI filled with water is in the middle of the room.
The servicer poured some liquid into the pool and then left. During this time, we had 30 minutes bathing time before enjoying the SPA treatment. It was a good experience to cleanse the body and soothe the mind, then we were ready for SPA.
Welcome Tea
The fragrant bath was equipped with massage function. It was very comfortable to lay in it. 30 minutes is too short for me.
After bath, we move to another room for SPA treatment.
This service package mainly includes body scrub + Thai massage + Facial. According to my experience, I would fall into a deep sleep, but probably I have slept too much after being in Bangkok for a few days, so I keep wake up in the whole treatment.
(I have to shower after scrubbing, but there is only one shower in the room. I think It is quite unreasonable for couple.)
The skill of massage therapists were good and their performance is professional.
They did not chat with each others during serving. The only drawback is that there is a little noise from the conversations of Hong Kong people walking in the corridor.
"Another people will come for facial," the therapist said.
"I think she means you have to give her tips after massage," I reminded my dear.
There is no standard for tip amount. According to my experience, Thai people will not ask for tips actively. $100 bahts is only about 22 Hong Kong dollars so I feel free to give her $100 bahts for thankfulness.
(It is recommended that you check whether you have enough notes before going for treatment. I didn’t realize that there was notes on hand. Finally, I ask the therapists to help me bring my $1000 notes to reception and broke this into $100 notes.)
After facial treatment, it was nearly 11:00 when we returned to the lobby, and there were not many customers left. I am not experienced enough to evaluate the quality of HEALTH LAND SPA. I just think it is a very rare experience for two people to enjoy a few hours of quietness in body, mind and soul together.
Time flew by and we spent our last night in Bangkok in such a relaxed state.
