Breeze Spa

23

You feel it from the moment you walk in – and you can’t help but smile. Linen drapes flutter like it’s the only job they’ve ever known. Palm fronds rustle just to pass the time. A warm smile meets your own. There is an energy here, a vibrant yet gentle buzz that beckons you to step inside, cast aside your cares, and let the Breeze sweep you away. That carefree feeling is what sets Breeze Spa apart as Koh Chang’s most refreshing new spa experience. Here on the island, you’ll find it nestled within the iconic Amari Emerald Cove offering a mid-day recharge or a sundowner “cocktail” of invigorating treatments that will put the bounce back in your step, leaving you ready to take on Koh Chang with all the energy it deserves! One of the unique aspects of Breeze Spa’s philosophy is the importance placed on simplifying the spa experience - getting back to the basics of what feels right for you. So one of the first questions your therapist may ask is not “What would you like?” but rather, “How would you like to feel?” That’s where Breeze Spa’s innovative Mood Therapy Treatment concept really makes a difference. Name the mood you’re going for – such as such as Dreamy, Serene, Rejuvenated, Invigorated, Energised – and the therapists instantly put together a treatment that incorporates all five senses, with a carefully chosen body therapy or massage technique, aromatherapy oil, herbal tea, music and even colour! The result? You walk out with a smile on your face, an energy boost, and a positive attitude. Discover the bright side of life at Breeze Spa! Treatment Special Offers■ Book Prepare for Lift-Off up to two bookings for THB. 3,820:Choice of:- Prepare for Lift-Off: 45-min body scrub or body wrap +600min massage. Or 15-min steam +60 mins massage +30-min Jacuzzi bath.

Below we offer you a photo guide to some of the excellent Thai dishes that are commonly available but that you might not have heard of before. Many of these dishes are available in even the most simple of Thai restaurants and they are generally eaten by themselves for breakfast or lunch as one-plate meals in contrast to the multi-dish extravaganzas that commonly constitute Thai evening meals. We’ll give you a brief description of each dish next to the photo. And in order to help you to order these tasty treats for yourselves we have included their names in Thai so if all else fails then you can just point.
