Royal Orchid Spa BKK

As our amssage time approached a young escort came to take us to the Royal Orchid spa located right outside of the Royal First lounge, on the other side of the hallway.

There we were requested to take a seat, and relax for a minute while our masseuse prepared our room.

After a few minutes, our masseuse came and lead the way to the massage room. Again, the design of the room was very much Thai with subtle colours and fragrances. The massage room was equiped with all amenities one can think off. A large sofa bench, a changing room with a silk bathrobe, a steam room, and a proper bathroom. Of course the center piece was the massage bed.

My massage was simply divine. As we had been travelling for a while I had asked the amsseuse to insist on my legs and feet, and it felt just like paradise! When she was done, I took time a quick shower, and was then escorted to the after massage area where I was served a soothing tea.

A few snacks


Back in the Royal First lounge it was time for lunch! We ordered a bunch of items from the iPad menu, all of the them were great and served very quickly. Note that we only ordered Thai food.

Pad Thai and melon drink


Tom yung goong, which was this time excellent and Waterwelon juice

After lunch we had time to relax for a while. When boarding was ready for us a young lady came to us, and escorted us with an electric cart to the plane. She bowed smile as we were processed and wished us a pleasant flight.

We were the last ones on board.

Conclusion
Thai offers absolutely fantastic ground services out of BKK. I am sure this will not come as a surprise for many here. But it must be pointed out, that the services were trully exceptional and the level of service in a class of its own. This is definitely one of the top First Class service facility in the world and it's easy to understand why.
