Films are predominantly shown in original English with Thai subtitles. For about the same price as a ticket and a bucket of popcorn at a US theater, you can treat yourself to a state-of-the-art experience that could include recliners or sofa seats with cozy blankets, alcohol, snacks, and even butler service.

The Paragon serves dinner and drinks with movies, and has reclining and massaging seats.Дuring rainy days in Bangkok, many locals like me pass the time by catching a movie at one of the city's luxury cinemas. As per Japanese tradition, both onsens have separate sections for men and women. Yunomori Onsen is another good choice with two locations, one in Sukhumvit and in Silom, taking its hot-spring water from Ranong, Thailand for hot, cold, and carbonated soaks. There's also a sauna, a hot-stone bed, and a tatami room for relaxing, so it's a great place to buy an all-day package and lose track of time. It sources water from the Gero hot springs in Japan for use in milk, soda, and whirlpool baths.

I also like Let's Relax Onsen and Spa for a Japanese-inspired spa day.

Often, I'll make it a spa day with friends and we'll meet up at a location of Healthland, a popular Bangkok spa chain, and get professional mani-pedis, scrubs, and a facial at a fraction of what they may cost abroad. A lot of locals like myself find the addition of hot oil or compresses helps ease what can be an otherwise rough experience. For as little as 300 baht ($10), you can have your whole body cracked, stretched, and pounded out in a traditional Thai massage. Well-priced massages, available around almost every corner, are what I consider one of the best perks of living in Bangkok. If you are a WSLHD staff member and would like to get your hands on one of JenniferвЂ™s scrub caps, please contact her via Microsoft Teams.A great, affordable spa day is easy to find in Bangkok. вЂњI sell over 50 caps to operating theatre staff each year itвЂ™s great to see the fun designs throughout the suites,вЂќ she said. Jennifer also uses material offcuts to make scrub caps and sells these to staff throughout the hospital. вЂњThe designs are talking points with our patients вЂ“ especially at Christmas time, so itвЂ™s great to see the number of staff wear Christmas scrubs and get into the holiday spirit,вЂќ she said.ДЄs for her upcoming debut designs, Jennifer says she is currently working on additional Christmas scrubs and a Flintstones themed one that she found the material for a few weeks back. So far, Jennifer is the only Westmead Hospital employee committed to creating such scrub creations, but at Christmas time, some of her colleagues give her a run for her money with their creations. Jennifer is a big Harry Potter and Disney fan and has several designs featuring these whimsical characters with material purchased from overseas as вЂњa lot of the designs I like you canвЂ™t get in Australia,вЂќ she said.Д®ach unique scrub shirt and cap ensemble takes her about six hours to make. вЂњI like to theme my designs to the day where I can I have a Star Wars ensemble for May the fourth, I wear Dr Zeus when IвЂ™m teaching, I have a Halloween themed set, and many more.вЂќ вЂњPatients and staff tell me that it really brightens their day to see my designs, so itвЂ™s nice to have happiness and positive energy continue throughout the year, not just at Christmas,вЂќ said Jennifer.

What originally started as a creative Christmas season venture, turned into a daily uniform for Jennifer about five years ago. Jennifer began teaching herself to sew about 20 years ago and says the more she does, the more she learns and loves it, referring to sewing as her вЂњdiversional therapyвЂќ. вЂњIf I wore them all in one go, I could go many weeks without having to do a wash,вЂќ she laughed. When asked how many creations she has on rotation Jennifer replied, вЂњoh gosh вЂ“ including Christmas ones, probably close to 40 or 50 designsвЂќ. For over 15 years, Westmead Hospital clinical nurse educator, Jennifer Morgan, has been brightening the wards with her colourful and themed scrub tops and matching cap creations.ДЇrom Dr Zeus to Harry Potter to Disney and Star Wars she has themed cotton scrub ensembles for various occasions.
