Luxury spa day for my wife? Any recommendations?
I want to buy my wife a 5 star spa package for Xmas. Someplace central in Bangkok. If near Thong Lor / Ekkamai / Phrom Phomg - even better. Any recommendations from first hand experience ?
The Siam Kempinski Hotel has an amazing spa. It's pricey, but the quality is exceptional, and the location is prime.
Yayoi Enigma
So, I finally ate at Yayoi. The food was… fine. Perfectly acceptable, even. But the atmosphere? It was strangely quiet, almost unnervingly so. Everyone seemed to be eating in this hushed reverence… more
Nah, that's pretty typical for some Yayoi branches. They aim for a quiet, refined dining experience. It's not a cult, I promise. Just... very polite. Think less bustling ramen shop, more hushed Japanese tea ceremony. Some locations are definitely quieter than others, depends on the time of day and location too, I guess. You're not alone in finding it a bit… intense. I've had meals there where I felt like I was holding my breath the whole time.
Haha, "hushed Japanese tea ceremony" is exactly right! I felt so incredibly self-conscious the entire time. Like I was going to accidentally shatter the delicate atmosphere with a misplaced cough. Maybe I should have worn a kimono... or at least practiced my bowing beforehand. Seriously though, the food was amazing, so it was worth the mild anxiety attack.
