Bangkok is quietly brilliant at looking after you for an hour or two at a time, and the head spa is the purest version of that. We booked the couples room at Sabuy Sleep Salon and lasted about four minutes each.
It starts with a scalp check, which is more revealing than either of us expected, and then works through massages and warm towels until neither of us could hold a conversation. Couples who head spa together, nap together.
We've had a lot of good hours in this city and this was one of the most relaxing. Book it for the end of a long day, not the start of one, because you won't be good for much afterwards.
More from this trip is on the Bangkok story, and the rest of Thailand is under Thailand.
