The Oriental Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok

We visited the spa with my husband for a Thai massage in December, 2025. We booked at the last minute through the hotel’s WhatsApp chat, and it was very convenient, they still had availability. Getting there was part of the experience: a private boat ride from the hotel with no queues or waiting to cross the river. The spa itself feels like a little kingdom, with parrots in cages and beautiful trees all around. Everything is very well organized, some staff help you with your shoes, others take care of the registration. The massage takes place in a private room with its own bathroom. I had a traditional Thai massage in pajamas and really enjoyed it. The place feels carefully preserved, as if the design and spirit of the past were intentionally kept alive, like stepping back 70 years in time. After the massage, we were invited to a relaxation room at the very top of the house, where they served tea and sweets. A lovely experience overall. I really liked it.

An unforgettable experience! The location right by the river is genius and the treatment room was absolute top tier – you can really feel that this is a ritual, not just a service. A 90-minute massage effectively turns into a 3-hour retreat with all the intro and relaxation time included. Honest note: The massage technique itself isn't cosmically different from other high-end places, but the surroundings and atmosphere are unmatched. Top of the tops. Highly recommended!

The spa at Mandarin Oriental is the best I’ve experienced in Bangkok. You can arrive early to fill out a health questionnaire, enjoy some drinks and snacks, and fully relax before your treatment. I had a 90-minute massage in a private room, featuring the most comfortable and spacious infinity massage bed I’ve ever experienced. Although the session was only 90 minutes, it felt like I entered a state of deep sleep. I can’t wait to come back for a second visit
