Foot Massage Magic!

If there was ever a special, blissful, treat you'd like to gift someone, let this be it.

Located at several areas in the city of Bombay, AromaThai- the foot spa, is a treat for the senses. Their one hour long "Sawadee" foot massage priced at about INR 700, is a relief for those hard at work in this stressful city.

To divulge all would take away from the experience, but let's just say it includes a gentle foot wash and scrub, about 40 minutes of foot rub and accupressure with your choice of aromatic oil, about 20 minutes of head and shoulder massage and some warm, mild thai tea to top it all off.

For first-timers and returning customers alike, the experience is a delight and can be a case in point for Bombay services looking to learn a few lessons in great branded customer experience.

Why, you ask? The welcome you receive is in soft thai. You have no doubt that the shoes/slippers you leave in their custody will be well taken care of. The ambience is soothing with beautifully designed walls and artfully done foot tubs. The expertise that they display in handling your feet, is above average, and done with a smile. And, the thai theme extends to the flowers that the masseuses wear in their hair. For the most part, you feel like you are in some exotic village in Thailand.

The one drawback is that the hostess (in the Bandra spa) is located as you enter (rightfully so) but that the hum of her voice and buzz of the telephone distract you, even as you try and make this journey through Thailand. So, a tip: Seat yourselves upstairs, since the constant buzz of the telephone might prevent you from dozing off during your spa hour!

Just in case, you'd like to check them out, they're at http://www.aromathai.net where they also give you some important points to remember, as you decide to take a trip to Thailand, from just down your street!
