The Oriental Hotel, Bangkok

The "Oriental Indulgences" is a day spa package for Bangkokians and visitors to the City of Angels that combines two hours of spa treatment, a lavish lunch at either Le Normandie or Lord Jim's, and a chauffeur-driven send-off in a BMW Series 7.

The spa treatment is a choice between the "Dreamcatcher", a stimulating massage and facial from which guests emerge feeling rejuvenated, and the "De-Stress Muscle Release", a perfect combination of body exfoliation and deep tissue massage.

The package offers three options to suit individual requirements.

If you are looking for two hours of complete relaxation, go for the spa treatment priced at 5,000 baht net per person, but if you need some pampering select the spa-lunch option priced at 6,000 baht and entertain yourself to a sumptuous lunch either at Lord Jim's or the Normandie after the spa session.

However, the choice to beat all choices is the one that combines spa, lunch and a send-off in a BMW 7 Series which carries a pricetag of 7,000 net per person.

I subscribed to the third option and found it out to be a totally new and exciting experience. For spa treatment, I went for "De-Stress Muscle Release" and for lunch Lord Jim's.
