Tips

  • Shop-style places near the Clock Tower and on Jet Yod Road, such as Pakawan and Sabaijai, run 250-400 THB an hour — a fraction of the price of the riverside spas.
  • Chivit Thamma Da's spa is worth booking ahead; it runs 800-1,800 THB against the Le Meridien spa's 2,000-4,000 THB for longer signature treatments.
  • Pakawan Massage stays open until 22:00, useful if you want something late near the Clock Tower.
  • Le Meridien's spa sells day passes, so you don't need to be a hotel guest to use it.
  • If budget matters more than setting, the Jet Yod Road and Clock Tower shops are the ones to pick over the two riverside spas.
