Cabbages & Condoms Restaurant Bangkok Blog ! 2016

Hi friends ! 

Been so busy and neglected this little space , but we have so much to blog about so just bear with us !

Just wanted to share an interesting experience of a "condom" themed restaurant we visited during our last trip to Bangkok, <CABBAGES & CONDOMS>

Cabbages & Condoms Restaurant Bangkok

10 Sukhumvit Soi 12, Klongtoey, Bangkok 10110

Tel. 02 229 4610, 02 229 4611 ext 222

It was only about 5 minutes walk from Asok Station, quite convenient location as you can come over here after shopping !

Come to dine here for a cause as well ! Here's the background of the concept and reason for the restaurant : 

"C&C Thailand operates as a “Business for Social Progress”, and all profits support the The Population & Community Development Association (PDA) and its programs in primary health, education, HIV/AIDS, rural development, environment and water etc. Our restaurant was conceptualized in part to promote better understanding and acceptance of family planning and to generate income to support various development activities of the Population and Community Development Association (PDA)" - Source from their website: http://www.cabbagesandcondoms.net/

Very interesting right !!!

It was a really fun dinner and the food was delicious ! I shall let the pics tell the story :)

we arrived on weekend night without reservations and only the inside seating was available.. but the outdoor was so pretty (abit hot) .. look at the pics below for outdoor seating !

Ok lets start to order !!! we ordered so much ..... look at the amount of food we ate. everything tasted delicious and its about singapore restaurant price, i remember we spent about SGD$70 or so on this meal .. excluding alcoholic drinks..

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

Website: http://www.baansabaithailand.com/

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 !!!



Wide Angle Lens shot

   



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 :)

Health Land Asoke Spa Review ! (BKK Thailand 2016)

Hello friends !

We went to try Health Land Spa @ Asoke , Bangkok last month (Mar 2016) when we were there !

It's very near our hotel and Terminal 21 / Asoke Station , about 10mins walk away !

Apparently we found out that Health Land is a big chain of Spa in Thailand and they have many locations ! This is just one of them .. :)

The first time we walked there , they told us its fully booked until the evening time which we couldn't make it cos have other plans ...

The second time, we were smarter !! Called to reserve first ... :) the number to call is on their web .. 

their web : --> HEALTH LAND SPA BANGKOK <

The one we went is :

Health Land Asoke

Address : 55/5 Sukhumvit 21 Rd. (Asoke), Khlongtoeinuea, Wattana, Bangkok 10110

Telephone : +66 (0) 2261 1110

Fax : +66(0) 2398 6062

Business Hours : 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 p.m. (Mon-Sun)

First impression is like wow , this building so nice , is it even a spa ??! So big !! Haha.. Its a huge standalone building .. never seen a big scale spa before lol ..

Connecting to the building is they have a seperate shop ! 

Entering the white building , you'll see the reception. Which actually feels like a hotel !?!! 

So go to the reception to "check in" for your booking , confirm and make payment first  ...

The staff we met were quite fluent in English but seem flustered because it's very busy and crowded .. like a market .. 

Just take a look at how much sitting area they have !!!  ALL LEVEL ONE ONLY !! I think this place is like 5 storeys !!! 

They also bring tour buses here for massage so this place gets really packed .. 

So we just waited for our turn to be called .. Basically your name will be announced in the "Speaker System" and then you go and report to the coordinator.., so organised right .. Haha.. 

So we did : 

Therapeutic Massage

Time : 1 Hr.

Price : 350 Baht

Foot Reflexology

Time : 1 Hr.

Price : 300 Baht

We started with the Therapeutic Massage , this massage targets your area of pain and soothe the muscles .. we were led to the 2nd floor ... this place is huge ..

     

Entering one of the curtain rooms , we had the 1 hr massage . 

The masseuse asked me in quite good English : "what's your problem area today?"

I said neck and shoulders and back.. She did neck and shoulders and like 5 mins of back only .. Suppose to start massage at 5pm , Actually when we got in the room , changed and lay down , it was already 5.15pm cos there was waiting time downstairs at the reception .. 

So she did the massage only 45mins , ended on time at 6pm .. After finishing , then ask us to go downstairs and wait for the foot massage .. 

But overall quite OK , just felt abit rushed ... 

While we were waiting downstairs , they served us tea . and then a short blackout (no electricity) and people were kinda panicking .. we just waited and drank our tea haha .. lasted for about 20mins ..

The ladies called out our name once again and we took the lift up ..

We were brought to this super comfortable and cooling room for the foot massage !!! I think its the 5th floor ... Super Shiok !!! 

  

The foot massage was a full one hour massage despite the delay and IT FELT LIKE HEAVEN !!!

Cos our feet / legs were so damn sore from walking all days for the past few days ..

This foot massage is SO DAMN GOOD .. The pressure , the cooling air con , the strength of the massage , the price and the comfy chair + they have us a blanket (we fell asleep) is all PERFECT HAHAHAA.. very skilled techniques !!

One of the best foot massage we tried in Bangkok :) Maybe cos we got good masseuse and it was a really quiet room , less than 5 pax in the room with us .. We were so happy and relaxed that we tipped them too ! 

Overall we felt that it's value for money , clean and good massage , especially the feet massage , the other one was so-so but the feet one was sooooo goooood :)

After the massage ended, we were brought down and served tea again !

Hope our 2 cents review helps your trip planning ! xoxo
