chic spa

Hi All,

We are going to Hua Hin for xmas. Been browsing around for a chic affordable spa but couldnt find anything yet.

When we were in Bali we found this affordable gorgeous spa called Henna Spa at the Balquisse. Can have a look at this website:

http://www.balquisse.com/henna/

found Aka Spa but it is a tad far from our hotel (10clicks), we are looking at Amana and S%26#39;mor as well as recommended in this forum.

If anyone have any info about the spa like the Henna Spa (small establishment, private and gorgeous interior design) kindly let us know... :)

many thanks!

Hi there,

this isn%26#39;t going to help you at all but my wife and I are going to Hua Hin in Jan 09 and would like to try out some spa therapies but have never done anything like this. What is Spa etiquette,do you arrive in swimwear/robe we have no clue and are aprehensive, please advise.

Thanks

PS Staying in the Anantara if that helps.

We love the Spa%26#39;s and massage parlours, although at the much cheaper end of the market these days. Ettiquette/dresscode etc. varies from place to place and in all the places we have tried all staff have been very discreet so don%26#39;t worry too much there. As to what to wear sometimes depends on what treatment your having. If a full workover, bodyscrub then generally you%26#39;ll probably be in a private room, be naked but if really shy then they may let you keep on swimmies but some do supply mini pants usually not much bigger than a thong but always at least in my experience%26#39;s your sensitive parts are always covered with a towel and when time to turn over the towel is placed above their eye level and once again placed over your sensitive area. Sometimes I ask if everything off and the reply may be ';up to you';, on others if I stand there in my underpants they simply point to them and say those off as well and up comes the towel to hide any embarrassment.

Iff just the more simple massages then you are usually in a more open area and apart from footwear you can keep just about everything on although males will probably be topless.

As I say, much is up to the individual and their level of shyness but unless going into the backstreet parlours then discretion really is displayed by all the staff. Enjoy them all.
