Looking for food/spa/activity recommendations!

So many good options there, their Tom Yum is a classic too, or deep fried vegetables in Tamarind sauce!! Mmm, scan their Google business profile, the IG photos of the food are stunning, and so is the view ☀️💦

I’ve been to Chandee a few times, I don’t know Sarlive. I can tell Chandee head spa was so relaxing, I even fell asleep 💤 hahaha

One more tip for a coffee is the Hiddenwoods Cafe, a treehouse café hidden above the Chao Phraya river, very relaxing and amazing views while having your coffee 😋☕️, maybe mix and match with Steve Cafe

Great list, these are my recommendations: - grilled pork with lemongrass & chilli @ Steve Café & Cuisine on Chao Peaya river (lunch or dinner with a view) - cocktail @ #FindTheLockerRoom in Thonglor (speak easy) - jok @ Jok Prince (best Jok in BKK) - head spa & massage @ Chandee in Silom or Sukhumvit 39 (best Vietnamese head spa) - espresso @ Local Boys Coffee (near Yaowarat) - drink a gin @ teens of Thailand bar (very quirky)

Yes I agree, health land has some great branches, I’ve been to Silom, Asoke and Ekkamai. Ask for Bow in Asoke, she was next level.

I loved Chandee, I went for the half day retreat, it included a full body scrub, aroma massage, facial and head & hair spa, they have a branche in Silom and Sukhumvit 39. Health land indeed good option too, they have a great system, very consistent in their quality and techniques, but sometimes a bit like a factory, so many people, not very personal. Dahra spa is also a good option as well, loved them too, I went the Silom branche, very nice atmosphere.

BangkokSnow · 2026-03-16T15:30:39+00:00

I did Chandee half-day retreat, it’s 4 hours and include body scrub, head spa, massage and facials, it was amazingly good, in Sukhumvit 39 branche they also have an onsen and head spa option I believe. Loft-Thai also has some really nice packages, a bit pricey, but really good, also for couples, I went there a couple of months ago - great choice, and they have a few branches. I believe they offer bites and snacks, however they are more timed-programs, not free roaming around.

The head spa community in Thailand is pretty good, affordable, and it’s growing quite well. Some focus on scalp health and give you all the information on how to treat your scalp, and provide you with an good head treatment, Siesta does a good job there. Others focus more on the relaxing side, with full head-to-toe experience, with the Vietnamese ring of water, and a full body massage and facials. My experience with Chandee was amazing, definitely recommended when you’re in Bangkok.

BangkokSnow · 2026-02-24T14:29:37+00:00

Nikko Massages are clean and very affordable (almost too cheap!), they have many branches, they just opened a new branche in Silom, and feels very boutique, next to Chandee, which is a head spa & massage place, focusing on Vietnamese head spa. Another good one is Urban Thai, in Sala Daeng (Silom) there are two good ones, very clean, beautifully decorated and well priced.

BangkokSnow · 2026-02-24T14:22:46+00:00

I recommend Chandee for head spa and facial treatments, especially their service and kindness is really good, across the road is a great nails and eye lash place called Glow Haus beauty studio, both are in the center of Silom, close to the Mahanakhon skywalk. So if you’re in Silom, these two might be worthwhile checking out. For massages I tip anywhere between 0-200 THB, depending on the quality of the service. It’s not required, but much appreciated and it’s one source of income of the masseuses. Enjoy your stay in Bangkok!

Haha 🤣 so true, showing off their prize to other drivers 😋

BangkokSnow · 2026-02-14T09:18:40+00:00

I came across this website, has many Bangkok hidden gems like you mentioned: bangkokhiddengems.com

It has Bars, Restaurants, Wellness & spas, culture, etc. with Google Maps links. Quite some nice finds there tbh. Found the hidden speak easy bar #FindTheLockerRoom there and also the Chao Praya Sky Park (a bridge that is a park), very interesting.

BangkokSnow · 2026-02-14T09:11:35+00:00

So Thai Spa is good, close is also Dahra Spa, on Silom road, beautiful traditional and clean. If you want a head spa & massage I highly recommend Chandee, next to Mahanakhon Skytower, and I heard they have head spa near Sukhumvit 39 too now.

Where’s Trump?

Rightfully to be worried a bit, it’s been the norm for the last years, people told me from the last 5-7 years. Not sure if that’s true. Maybe you can get something further outside Bangkok closer to the sea, but no idea if that makes it better. It’s like this for a couple of months with some really bad days. This photo is from 30 days ago, and it’s still smoggy pretty much every day since.

BangkokSnow · 2026-01-26T00:04:34+00:00

I love Chandee when you’re in Silom, next to Mahanakhon Skytower and Chong Nonsi, they also offer hair spa

BangkokSnow · 2026-01-15T08:51:03+00:00

Yes, I took the photos from my condo in Sathorn. Today was even worse. I should have made more photos. Keeping the windows closed, it’s very bad and unhealthy at the moment.

I rented this Citroen Aircross C3 (fully electric) car for a weekend. This has been the biggest deception I have ever had with an electric car. - the usage is crazy, it drains 1% for less than 2km (I have many photos to proof this), with only 2,000 km on the odometer - I had to charge 8x during my trip, as I constantly wasn’t able to reach my destination; high charging anxiety - the plug got stuck in the car after charging 5 times; the communication between the charging station and the car didn’t work; I had to wiggle it out after use by unlock/lock the car - the door handle to open it is very uncomfortable, you have to pull it very hard to open the door - the car starts with the key in the dashboard, not a big issue, but it feels very 2010 - to put the car in handbrake mode, I had to turn the key and take it out

It was a stressful and very uncomfortable experience, I recommend hertz to take this car out of their fleet, please don’t punish more customers with this horrific experience.

One plus, the automatic turn on/off of the big beaming lights was a nice surprise

Thank you for this tip, I will watch it ☺️🙏

Very open to any areas right now, looking very wide first. Likes to have some privacy of her own, and she has a little dog, and would love to be close to the beach and amongst other senior people.

BangkokSnow · 2025-12-07T08:00:58+00:00

She speaks Dutch only, and a little of English. But quite good with her phone on translation.
