Finding the sense of Thai Spa

Contemporary oriental is the flavour of this small, intimate day spa where an exotic array of sights, sounds, smells and – of course – pampering experiences await you. The Sense Spa experience begins with a walk through the Balinese-style garden of small black and white stones, tropical plants, sofas, chairs and the large umbrellas popular in Chiang Mai. Jasmine oil in burners mingles with incense to charm the sense of smell as you walk through the garden to the reception area; relaxing New Age and music evocative of the sounds of nature serves as a soothing appeal to the ears. Pleasing and relaxing sights, sounds and smells accompany you as you wander through. Browns, blacks and reds, often highlighted with gold leaves, are the spa's theme colours, their potential starkness offset by sandstone and antique yellow, with soft lighting from floor to ceiling fixtures that ensure a soothing atmosphere. Shapes, symbols and materials, characteristic of the Orient, set in the structures and in the décor, entice you into the Eastern theme of soothing and relaxation.
