Recharge and rejuvenate in Chiang Mai

Address: Calm massage and spa, 18, 3 Khang Ruan Jum Rd, Tambon Si Phum, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai 50200, Thailand Price: 💰💰💰 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nestled within Chiang Mai's historic old town, Calm Massage Parlor stands out among the rows of massage and spa establishments. Our serendipitous discovery of this spot, fueled by the need for card payments, turned into a delightful escape. Entering the establishment, we were warmly greeted by the receptionist, who promptly guided us to comfortable seating and presented us with a diverse massage menu. Ahead of the treatment, a thoughtful questionnaire allowed us to tailor our preferences, accompanied by a refreshing lemongrass drink. Opting for a spa indulgence, I selected two a-la-carte services totaling 1800 baht: 1. 1-hour Body Scrub - 10/10. Incredibly relaxing, leaving my skin smooth. A subsequent shower to rinse off the scrub added to the rejuvenating experience. 2. 1-hour Aloe Vera Massage - 8/10. While refreshing, I wished for a more muscle-focused treatment. It effectively soothed my sunburn but left my post-adventure muscles yearning for more relief. My friend indulged in a 2-hour package at 1080 baht, featuring 1 hour of aroma therapy, 30 minutes of body scrub, and 30 minutes of traditional massage. He found it relaxing and rejuvenating, providing a welcomed refreshment. Post-treatment, the experience concluded with a cup of delightful ginger tea and sweet butter biscuits. An important tip: if visiting as friends, request separate rooms to avoid any potential awkwardness in shared spaces. #weekendgetaways
