Baan Sabai Spa Bangkok Review 2016


Hi everyone ! 

On our recent trip to Bangkok , we visited Baan Sabai Spa !

We love spas and trying new places so we decided to give this place a try :)

Did some research online and saw this place highly reviewed, rather near to our stay as well .


Address: 76 Soi Sukhumvit 26, Khwaeng Khlong Tan, Khet Khlong Toei, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110, Thailand

Nearest BTS: Phrom Phong BTS


We did book online before hand through their booking form for a massage session (2hours), there is more information on their website, can go take a look if you are considering to go :)

On the map it looks kinda near to the Phrom Phong BTS but actually not really !!! Its about 15mins walk .. and under the hot sun , I kept asking are we there yet?!! 

But on along the way , we passed by many seemingly authentic Japanese restaurants... Interesting.. 

So we finally reached this place ! There are some standalone restaurants around it ..

The Baan Sabai Spa is like a bungalow house in residential area ..


So we stepped into the place (was 10mins late but OK) .. and served tea and look at the menu ..


Btw, if you are looking for cheap and good massage, this is not the place..

It's quite expensive , they call themselves "luxury" spa for a reason :P


The service is good and we were served tea , towels , given a questionaire to fill up regarding which parts to avoid pressing hard etc and chose our Scrub flavour & Aroma Oil type ! ^^


We did request for Couple Room and the room was like WOW so nice !!! See below for pics..

 All the pics are in the SAME ROOM !!! Room all to ourselves !! The aircon and smell is fantastic.. 

Everything smelt so nice and beautifully decorated, sorry if my pics not nice, cos of low light and all non-edited, haha !

    

Jacuzzi !!!!!

  

Shower and Toilet !!!

I did 1 hour Aromatherapy Massage and 1 hour body scrub , while Chee did 2 hours Thai massage .. 

The masseuse is skillful and good ! Speaks English too :) Enjoyed the massage session thoroughly, felt away from the bustling BKK ! Just that the Aroma oil I felt is not fragrant enough, maybe just my personal preference (I'm a scent person)

All in all , we spent about SGD50-SGD60 each for a 2 hours session , which was OK I felt , cheap by Singapore standards but luxury by BKK standards haha .. But we felt that it was worth it !! 

For the special beautiful room and relaxing garden .. ^^ 

 

Hope this little review helps! Thanks for reading :)



Reebonz MarketPlace Blog Review (own shopping experience non-sponsored)

Hi everyone , thought I would share my experience on my recent purchase on Reebonz Marketplace .

Prior to this, I did purchase several items from Reebonz themselves before when I had credits and discount codes ! Haha ! I also did sell items through Closets before as well ... :) But this is my first time buying from the marketplace ..

Apparently what I understand from Reebonz is that the Marketplace is actually overseas secondhand luxury shops that are verified and sell authentic products .. At first I'm abit skeptical but one fine day I received a 25% discount code from their email mailer and saw something I wanted ! >.< 

I read their FAQs on the Marketplace website before purchase and felt comfort that although the item can be used for discount code, it can also be returned if I'm not happy with it .. This is a case by case basis though, remember to check the details of the item , if its not returnable it will be stated there ! 

About my item; I've actually been looking around for a LV sling bag with top zippers , which are not too large , comfortable size for travel or outdoors.. I am looking for second hand as LV products generally age well haha, my Damier Speedy B 35 is 3 years old this year and still look brand new ! Lol .. And I am not someone who takes meticulous care of my bags.. Just throw on floor and use .. Haha :) I'm not really fussy about the bags I am going to keep for my own use .. 

So i came across vintage LV Reporter PM ! Thought that it was really functional and I did do some research to find a good one at a good price ... I looked at Yoogis Closet and found one but the price is more expensive than this one .. When i received the mailer , I saw that this store "Midunoya" based in Osaka, Japan , was selling it on the Reebonz Marketplace thus immediately jumped on the chance ! 


Pics grabbed from the site which i bought.. 
They did have many pictures of the bag and I find it quite comprehensive ..


So happy that after applying discount code , the bag is only 400 or so ! Its is good condition, and i wasn't fussy about its condition as it looked OK in the pictures...  I felt it was a great deal so I went ahead to purchase it .. They said that the shipping is expected to be a week or so..

After payment purchase , Reebonz immediately sent me the payment receipt .. And within the same day , they sent me another email to say my item has been shipped !


I was expected the shipment to reach next week but within 2 days of the shipped email , i received a DHL slip at my doorstep (i was not at home) .. Thus went to collect my shipment Self Collection at DHL.. They do offer you several options to deliver your shipment .. 

But i got to say that maybe not every item from Marketplace is shipped by DHL.. Cos i'm only sharing my own experience and mine is DHL :) 



So i went to DHL to collect my shipment !! On Day 4 of the purchase I have received my goods already ^^ happy !! So efficient !! 

It was well packaged though.. 

 

First thing that I saw when I opened the box...

 

Bag wrapped in Bubble wrap ! 
This bag comes with nothing, it is described as in the product description.. So immediately checked the date code on the bag , as per product description as well .. And the smell and feel.. Its authentic .. :)



Very pleased with my purchase and the bag looks newer than expected !!! I checked everything and Inside is very clean and everything is working and intact , best of all is the price i got it  very worth it :) hehe !!! I will update with outfit pics when i bring it out, it seems perfect for traveling :)) 

Just sharing my personal experience shopping with Reebonz Marketplace and hope you find good deals there too :) happy shopping !!
