Bangkok is a hit tourist destination with westerners and happens to be the top draw in Asia and the third most popular tourist destination in the world. Some of the major attractions and sights in Bangkok include WAT PHRA KAEW, WAT MAHATHAT, GRAND PALACE, VIMANMEK TEAK MANSION, ROYAL BARGES NATIONAL MUSEUM, QUEEN SAOVABHA MEMORIAL INSTITUTE, NATIONAL MUSEUM, LUMPHINI PARK, JIM THOMPSONS' HOUSE, ANCIENT CITY and ABHISEK DUSIT THRONE HALL. Bangkok is also world famous for its spas and aroma healing techniques. Many westerners flock to Bangkok for spa tours and relaxing exotic massages which relieve all the stress and strain, drive away fatigue and exhaustion and chronic pain and leave the mind and body feeling rejuvenated and revivified. Ancient healing techniques and exotic natural ingredients coupled with cutting edge modern technology combine to pack a new punch in the thriving spa and massage business in Bangkok. A massage parlour is a place where you can get a full body massage, or a massage of particular areas of the body: for example, a foot massage. As well as different locations on the body, there are also different types of massage. There is traditional Thai, when you are likely to have all your bones and muscles squeezed, pummelled and cracked. There is also oily massage, where the therapist rubs scented oil into your skin. There is plenty of regional variation too, so you could ask what the local specialty is when you enter the premises.
