Spa and Cuisine at The Chi Shangri La Bangkok
If you’re looking for a spa break, one of the top choices now is the CHI spa at the Shangri la Bangkok. Why? They have beautiful facilities and well trained therapist. 
Also I was lucky to discover they have a special offering on the occasion of the CHI spa 10th year anniversary. It is a combination of 2 hours spa treatment and spa cuisine. There were 2 choices, the “Jasmine Retreat”; one-hour each of CHI Facial and CHI Balance. The other choice was the “Skin Breeze” a combination of CHI Skin Polish and Aroma Wellness Massage. 
Us group of friends went for the “Jasmine Retreat” a combination of CHI Signature treatment. It started with an aroma massage (CHI balance) using the Jasmine oil. The jasmine oil had a very complex aroma; first the scent of jasmine then some kind of herbal scent at the end the scent was lemon grass. The therapist did a great job, I felt half awake and have asleep. The hour went by very short. The CHI facial started right after, many products were used; a jasmine cleanser, some kind of toner, scrubs, moisturizers, conditioning creams and the list goes on. The jasmine cleanser was very aromatic; it was like Thai sweets with coconuts. I thought the facial would be a long one but it also felt very short. It was a very relaxing 2 hour. After the treatment the spa manager greets us. She escorted us the Next2 café where they serve the spa cuisine. There were both normal and vegetarian choices. All were light and healthy. The choices were (one item per costumer): 
Chilled Gazpacho 
Roasted Beetroot Carpacio 
Vegetable Pot Sticker Dumplings 
Thai-Style Salad 
Fresh Summer Vietnamese Rolls with Mango, Crab Meat and Coriander 
Sliced Smoked Salmon, 
Slow-Cooked Chicken Breast stuffed with Pistachio and Apricot on Burghul Salad 
Grilled Tuna Steak
The CHI 10th year anniversary spa offers a great deal, 2 hours spa and spa cuisine for only 3,500 net. It was a nice way to gateway for a short time and relax. The CHI 10th anniversary spa package will be available starting today until 22 December 2014.
