Trisara, Southeast Asia�s leading resort and spa now offers a luxurious and advanced six-hand massage treatment to discerning travellers looking for the ultimate in spa relaxation.

�Royal Trisara�, a 90 minute, three therapist, six hand massage procedure was launched on 01 May 2008 as the resort�s signature treatment and is a not-to-be missed experience.

Beginning with a sensational foot scrub using the finest lemongrass essential oil, guests will undergo 90 minutes of perfectly synchronized six-hand indulgence.

A gentle Thai massage to the feet and shoulders is followed by a series of Thai herbal hot compress pouches being applied to specific parts of the body channeling energy and relaxing muscles. The treatment then evolves into a combination of Thai and Swedish massage using organic jojoba oil which is non-fragrant and highly nutritious to the skin with kneading, acupressure and long strokes from the therapists� hands, forearms and elbows timed in perfect synchrony across the entire back of the body.

The 90-minutes of luxury is completed with a simultaneous warm coconut oil, scalp, head and shoulder massage, and Thai oil foot massage. Afterwards a post treatment refreshment of cool tropical fruit and hot ginger tea awaits at the after-spa relaxation sofa.
