"We use recycled furniture to decorate the whole place and we stick with natural ingredients that can be naturally dissolved in our practices. We also use local products in the main treatments to make sure that we do not waste unnecessary energy in transporting foreign products into our country" says Thanwat "Pop" Suwinai Puksabenja the spa's owner and creator. Suk is located opposite the Ambassador Hotel on Sukhumvit 11. You will enter another world when you walk up the alley that is packed with trees and shrubs that surround the old Thai-style wooden complex that features a hostel a Thai restaurant and a spa. Suk Spa is opposite the restaurant and you will not miss the place thanks to the spa's staff being dressed in colourful Thai traditional sabai dress. "When my restaurant got successful I expanded with the spa" says the 37-year-old Phatthalung native Thanwat. "I wanted to stick to the original concept of bringing back the past of Thailand the true life of Thai people that has been extinct for over 50 years back into the heart of Bangkok" The result is a spa unlike any other… "Instead of letting them throw the old valuable wood away I brought them back to life. We are not just saving the forest but we also preserve the air from more chemical substances because the woods here are so old they do not attract termites anymore – thus no need to spray them like new wood. "Decorations aside the treatments at Suk spa are created from Thai traditional medicine and use natural things to substitute modern needs. For example bai plub plung (crinum lily leaves) and banana leaves are used to substitute plastic film in body wraps. Local herbs both fresh and dried which are abundant in the healing ingredients are put together to create the aroma instead of imported essential oils. "Authentic essential oils are very expensive and there are the cheaper versions of chemicals that destroy your respiratory system" explains Thanwat. "So I decided to use local fresh herbs to give the scent to my spa.
