Ritual spa-ing for decompression

» There is a sense of overwhelming calm that comes with boarding the Anantara Bangkok Riverside Resort & Spa's courtesy boat at Saphan Taksin pier and chugging lazily down the Chao Phraya, to their urban escape. This act in itself is a kind of ritual cleansing of the mind, allaying of worries and cares, in preparation for the hours and moments you spend under their most hospitable, welcoming and embracing hand. If you happen to be on your way to their Anantara Spa, then this journey is all the more therapeutic and relaxing, as it dawns on you that you are going to be thoroughly pampered, under the expert touch of their well-trained and discreet spa therapists. Although in Bangkok, this resort seems far removed from a city location, which gives it such a distinctive out-of-town appeal, as if taking a trip on a brief, but exotic, expedition.
