A First Timer’s Guide to Booking a Head Spa in Bangkok

Head spas are becoming a must-try experience for visitors to Bangkok. But if you’ve never booked one before, it’s normal to have questions. What do they do? What should you wear? How do you book?

Here’s a clear and practical guide for first-timers.

1. What Is a Head Spa?

A head spa is a treatment that focuses on your scalp, head, neck, and sometimes shoulders. It often includes:

• Scalp massage

• Oil or herbal treatment

• Hair and scalp cleansing

• Steam or warm towel wraps

• Relaxing music or ASMR

• Famous Ring of Water Head Massage

• Blow-dry or styling

The goal is to relieve stress, clean the scalp, and help you relax deeply. Sessions typically last 30 to 90 minutes.

2. Do You Need to Book in Advance?

Yes. Many good spas fill up quickly, especially in busy areas like Silom, Thonglor, or Sukhumvit. Booking online or via chat helps you avoid waiting or being turned away.

Some spas offer same-day slots, but first-timers should book early to get the full experience without feeling rushed.

3. What to Look For in a Good Spa

• Clear descriptions of treatments and pricing

• Clean, calm, and organized space

• Staff who explain the steps before starting

• Use of quality or organic products

• Good reviews from other travelers
  

Bonus points if the spa can communicate in your language and offers guidance throughout the process.

4. What to Wear or Bring

You don’t need to bring anything. Most spas provide a robe or towerl, headband, or cover. For longer treatments, you may be asked to lie down or lean back in a chair. Comfortable clothing is always a good idea.

5. Will You Understand What’s Happening?

This depends on the spa. At Chandee Sleep Salon & Massage, for example, we explain every step clearly in English, Thai, or Chinese. Many of our guests are travelers from overseas who feel nervous at first but leave confident and relaxed.

We take time to listen, explain, and adjust the experience to your comfort level. That’s one reason why we’re loved by tourists from around the world.

If you’re ready to try your first head spa, start with a place that makes you feel cared for. A good experience is not only about technique, but also how well you're guided.
