What: Sukho Thai foot spa, Turner Road, opposite Tawa restaurant, Bandra (W), call 9820200810, start at Rs 1,100.
Why: At this new foot spa, the action isn’t just below the knees. Supremely deft hands – ask for Woreinger’s or Levy’s – will work your back, neck and shoulders, even for the most basic foot massage. Happy endings of spicy ginger tea and passion fruit almost make up for the tacky exterior and too-close-for-comfort chairs. Biting the hand that kneads?
When: You want to sigh in Thai.
