Beginnings and Motivation

In August 2003, Oasis Spas burst upon the scene and revolutionized the Thai day spa experience in Chiangmai. Two, forward-thinking individuals each with special skills and knowledge merged their talents to create the spa of their dreams. It soon became the most patronized day spa in all Chiangmai, growing to five branches in four cities; Chiangmai, Bangkok, Phuket and Pattaya.

The result is healthier, happier, more beautiful patrons. Whether a guest spends an hour or an afternoon they will enjoy moments their body will relish for a lifetime.

The gentle and courteous Lanna ambience pervades all to create a magical place where beautiful and gracious people provide the ultimate in personal service without pretentious airs.

The Concept - Provide a Garden of Eden Hideaway

The healing ambience of peace and serenity begins the moment the guest steps into the chauffer-driven vehicle and departs the hustle and bustle of modern life. The tranquility deepens as the client passes through the gate and follows the stone pathway to an exotic world of beauty, serenity and pleasure. This place of lush foliage, wooden bridges and walkways, waterfalls, reflective ponds with fluttering gold fish, private treatment villas is encompassed by the arms of ancient venerable trees. All the senses are caressed.

To assure potency, each formulation used is made daily from the freshest ingredients. Guests may choose from a complete menu of treatments and therapies: scrubs, wraps, facial, foot and body massages, Jacuzzi and steam baths, and much more. Trained specialists gently coax the guest to a state of better health, beauty and tranquility.

Following their treatment, each guest is requested to fill out a comment card and personally asked if their needs were met and desires satisfied. Both positive and negative comments are encouraged because feedback makes possible further improvements in service.
