Having nice nails is big business in Thailand. Flowers, butterflies and stars can all appear at the end of your fingers in a matter of minutes, while cute cuticles can be created by fully-qualified staff.

It’s not only nails that are cared for though; all kinds of beauty treatments can be found in Thailand. A good place to start is Grande Nail in Bangkok. This establishment, on Sukhumvit, has highly-rated green tea pedicures and manicures, a tangerine treatment and a hydro whirlpool spa.

Karbelka Spa, on Sukhumvit in Bangkok, has exceptional spa treatments, and experienced staff, while the Dhara Spa, in the Silom area of the capital, has an almost regal feel to it, and its friendly staff take their time as they offer a wide range of treatments. The capital’s Grand Hyatt Erawan has its own i.sawan Spa on the fifth floor, with luxury surroundings and genuine attention to detail.
