Day for Honey

With its exotic blend and flavor, Bangkok remains to be one of the oases not only of Thailand but of the whole world. It sure is refreshing to live in a city where amidst its hustle and bustle there exists mellowness and gentleness. That is, despite the flashy appearance of commercial buildings, shopping centers, sports stadium, there goes the beguiling sight of Buddhist temples, theme parks, museums and beaches.

Bangkok may be lively and busy twenty four hours a day, but you can actually go there to relax. Thailand is now actually recognized as a world holistic center with an Institute of Thai Traditional Medicine. The Thai massage is a must-try. You can enjoy the massage yourself or you can opt to learn how to do it. You can also enroll in meditation classes or attend meditation talks, which are offered in Wat Pho. If part of your relaxation is doing sports, go and try Muay Thai. Many foreigners, in fact, try training together with the Thai kick boxers to learn the said sport.

But there is no better way of relaxing than having a long beach break. Just imagine yourself sunbathing under the sun sipping that iced fruit crush. Those fatigued brain cells will surely be thermally shocked with the conflicting heat of the sun and the iciness of your beverage. And perhaps adding Thai menu in your own little adventure will make your stay more worthwhile. Why not try fresh local herbs, seafood and meat, spicy soup and green curry for a change?

But if you enjoy indoor relaxation more, there are luxurious hotels that offer pools and fitness centers. One of these is Citadines Bangkok. The layout and the atmosphere are especially made for recreation, peace and privacy. The spacious units and the modern design of the hotel let someone adapt more to the present modernity of Bangkok while having comfort away from the streets. Also, a fully-equipped kitchen, separate bedroom and lounge area, cable TV and broadband internet access are all available for your convenience. Citadines Bangkok is located on Sukhumvit 8.
