spa in Chiang Mai
 
Awhile ago someone raved about the Oasis spa. Has anyone else gone there? Are there others you would recommend more highly? Don;t want to spend NY prices but would like something nice.

Thanks

Hi Gloria:

I was very priveleged to spend 4 hours at the Oasis spa on a memorable day last February. I can't say enough about the place. The decor, the service, the room with outdoor bath (this was heaven!!) and other facilities , the fruit and tea at every turn...... I was even picked up at my hotel and returned by the spas' car.
I spent (if I remember correctly) about $150 CAD for the four hours.I am not sure what you spend where you live but it is much less than we would pay here in Ontario for much less. I was treated to a massage,a facial, exfoliation treatment, a body wrap ,milky bath, and use of my own private steam room and other amenities
I had the same person doing all the treatments and her expertise at most of the treatments was very good. I did not receive a Swedish massage as it wasn't part of the package I chose and so the pressure she used was moderate.
I am a massage therapist with 10 years experience and I work in a lovely spa myself but nothing like the Oasis. I wish I did!! :) This one I would recommend highly.
I didn't check out any other spa in Chiang Mai with regards to prices but I decided to splurge for a day and I was most delighted by my time spent there.
Take a day for yourself and enjoy. You'll love it.
regards,

Gloria, I was the one who originally raved about the Oasis, and am glad to hear that someone else liked it so much too. I had a Thai massage and it was heaven. Wen back the next day for more - including a wrap & fruit scrub. You'll love it.

Thanks. Can either of you tell me if I need to book in advance? I'll be there in early Jan.

We were in CM in January this year and I had no trouble booking a day before the treatment, but CM has now become a hot spot, so it may be more difficult to get a slot now. I think you're going to be in CM for about 10 days though so you should not have too much difficulty finding appointments within that time.
