Issue #269: Why I Exercise

Tria, Divana Divine Spa and WeMatch

Couple Double
Because not all of us like to make a visit to the spa a private moment, TRIA (998 Rimklongsamsen Rd., 02-660-2602. www.triaintegrativewellness.com) is introducing a 5-hour Ayuvedic Romance package for two. Start with a herbal steam bath in a luxurious private villa, then brush off your stress with the Exotic Fruit Scrub & Wrap, get pampered with a Marma Point Abyanga massage and top it off with a 30-minute Indian Head Massage. B8,800 (for two persons).

More Ayurveda
Divana Divine Spa (103 Thonglor Soi 17, 02-712-8986. www.divana-dvn.com) launches a Miraculous Ayurvedic Amethyst program. Gemstones, like amethyst, are believed to heal your body and improve your fortunes. The 4.5-hour package includes a foot soak, Amethyst healing therapy, Amethyst Shirodhaya (deep relaxing using pressure point stones and oil), hair treatment & scalp massage, mild lavender body scrub, aromatic steam, warm Amethyst body massage and Amethyst facial treatment. A light “organic” meal is served after the treatment. B2,700.

Smart Cupid
Too busy to find that special someone? WeMatch (40/16 Soi Wachirathamsathit 8, Bangna, 08-4900-0771, 08-4900-0772. www.wematch.co.th) is a matchmaking service that includes setting up dates, consultations and follow-ups. Of course, they claim you and your blind date will get thorough background checks: criminal records, financial status, marital status and references. Pay B2,000 to get in the circle. Then choose between their Gold (B10,000, three dates per year) or Platinum packages (B20,000, eight dates per year).
