CHI, THE SPA AT SHANGRI-LA BANGKOK

Take a break and enjoy the serenity and holistic experience with the view of the Chao Phraya River at Chi, The Spa at Shangri-La Bangkok.
    In traditional Chinese philosophy, chi or qi is the universal life force that governs well-being and personal vitality. To maintain good health, it is believed that chi must flow freely within the body, and when blocked, ‘dis-ease’ and illness can follow. Movement is therefore a key element in releasing blockages. Body massage, exercise, stretching, hydrotherapy, and mental relaxation through meditation combine to assist the body’s natural renewal and form the basis of the Chi spa philosophy.

   Massage is an ancient and natural healing method found in traditional systems of medicine and shared by many Asian cultures. Passed down from generation to generation, this therapeutic method of care remains an important and effective way of restoring and maintaining vitality. The spectrum of Asian massage therapies shares a core understanding of the body as an energy system. From Chinese meridians to Thai sen and Japanese ki, many cultures recognize various points and pathways within the body that hold the key to health and vitality.

   The luxury of the spa journey here includes treatment suites with expansive views of the Chao Phraya River and private access to the secluded swimming pool of the hotel’s exclusive Krungthep Wing. Six spa suites are designed for couples (at 80 square meters), featuring the “spa-within-a-spa” concept with a private steam room, shower, relaxation lounge, and changing, toilet, and vanity areas.
