Oasis Spa Review-Chiang Mai
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
The Oasis Spas opened in 2003 in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Currently they have locations in Bangkok, Phuket, Pattaya, and two in Chiang Mai. Oasis Spas are moderately priced and in my experience provide consistent service. I did this review, unknown to the staff, on July 19, 2003.
Oasis has two locations in Chiang Mai and I chose the one close to Wat Phra Sing. All the locations are currently offering a special package. You can have a mangosteen body scrub at no charge with any two hour signature massage.
The facility is immaculate, with a traditional Lanna style. The reception area is roomy and welcoming with more than adequate staffing. All of the staff seems very well trained and professional.
The spa menu is complete with a variety of massages and treatments including Ayurveda, Thai massage, stone massage, scrubs, wraps, and more. My choice was a two hour hot oil massage preceded by a one hour mangosteen scrub.
I was escorted by the receptionist to an outside garden area where my therapist Koy was waiting. Koy brought me to a separate building with a fairly large treatment area and a connecting shower and changing room. The room was well appointed and quite pleasant. The teak hardwood floors added to the ambiance of the space. The shower area was spacious and felt as though you were outside due to the partially open ceiling and many plants.
Koy did the Mangosteen scrub and massage very close to perfection. The mangosteen concoction was warm and it was applied with slow, slightly firm, relaxing strokes. The hostess had described the Hot Oil Massage as relaxing and soothing, and indeed it was. In a past review, I discussed the importance of presence on the part of a massage therapist. Koy had it in abundance. The warm oil was applied with long Swedish style strokes with light to medium depth. It was a deeply relaxing treatment from beginning to end. Sometimes people think that a massage needs to be deep to have therapeutic value. I would disagree, a massage that creates deep relaxation can be very healing. The fact is that all healing is self-healing, but we need to have the correct elements to allow it. Deep relaxation is one of the required elements. This treatment provided that.
The Oasis fee for the two hour massage including the 10% service charge and 7% tax was 3178 THB or just under $100 USD. The one hour Mangosteen scrub was free with the massage.
I do indeed recommend the Oasis spa. You can find more information about Oasis and other spas in Chiang Mai, Thailand by going to Chiang Mai Spa Reviews.
