There is a store in the 1st district where we are staying, and the menu, the appearance and interior of the store, and the menu are good, and I found out that I could buy a voucher for a discount with a promotion, so I made a reservation. The actual food was delicious, especially the Vietnamese coconut milk coffee, which became my favorite.

As my stay got longer and I ran out of things to do at night, I decided to buy tickets. It was a great decision! I was able to see the main spots of the city while feeling the breeze, and the lights were on, so it looked different from the daytime, and I was able to see the lively nightlife of the people, so I was very satisfied.

This spa is tucked away in an alley off the main road. When I opened the door, the cute interior was just like the photos I saw on Klook, and I was even more excited. Before the treatment, we were given a simple questionnaire to let us know how we felt. At this time, we chose our favorite scent from the three types of oil, changed into our massage clothes, and headed to the massage room. We could also choose the brightness of the lighting in the room, and we chose dark, so as the treatment progressed, I relaxed and fell asleep. After the treatment, my body was clearly lighter, so I really recommend this place.
