Relaxing and stressful last day in Bangkok

Since we were already in Bangkok, we wouldn't pass up the chance to experience the Thai Massage. We were looking for a mid-end spa - somewhere nice but not too expensive. We were already in Sukhumvit area, so we chose Mulberry Spa.


Menu List
132 Soi 23, Th Sukhumvit
9:00am - 11:00pm 
There were different massages to choose from. They have promo packages like the tempting Mulberry Tension Melts Away package. It's a 2 hour and 45 minutes massage which includes 60 minutes of foot spa and reflexology, and an hour and 45 minutes of Thai Massage and Herbal ball. (Mich, why didn't we schedule our spa session the night before the flight?)


Since we were short on time, we just had Mulberry Hot Tea Oil Massage for one hour, which costs 1,500 baht.


Herbal Ball
While waiting for them to set up, we were given hot Pandan Tea. 


And the pampering begins...
Afterwards, they assisted us upstairs to the massage rooms. The rooms have a classic, vintage ambiance.


It looks creepy in the photo but in reality, it's not :)
The  bathroom was very spacious. The bath tub was really inviting. Too bad, the 60-minute massage includes the time you spend on shower. So I just had a quick bath.


Useless tub. To save time, I just used the shower.
On a positive note, the massage was great. The steamed herbal ball lightly pressing into my skin felt amazing. It was a totally relaxing experience.


Good thing we had a great time at the spa, because I was stressed afterwards. I was so confident that we can arrive at the airport in time. I didn't know there was a long interval between trains going to the airport. Super OH NO!


When we got into the station, the train just left. So we had to wait 45 minutes for the next train. I surely thought we'll arrive at the airport too late. And I didn't know if the station was far from the departure area. 


But God is so good! Luckily, the departure area isn't too far away from the airport link station. I was able to arrive 3 minutes before the counter closed. Yes, I was the last one to check in! :)
