Dear Readers,
Enjoy Floating To Experience Zero Gravity Zero Stress After Long Day Only At Bangkok Float Center With KKday To Discover The Secrets of Relaxation

| My First Floating Experience At Bangkok Float Center With KKday |
After a long day exploring Safari World Bangkok, it is time for me to enjoy a relaxing me-time. Normally during my vacation trips, I will always go for a good massage session before flying back to my country, but this time around, I have the opportunity to experience something different yet still achieve maximum relaxation.
Instead of normal body massage, I opt for the floating therapy at Bangkok Float Center and my booking was made using the KKday Malaysia platform, the leading e-commerce travel platform that connects travelers with authentic local tours and activities.
What Is Floating?
 |
| Bangkok Float Center Offers Floating Therapy By Appointments Only |
Floating therapy started when John C. Lilly, a medical practitioner and neuro-psychiatrist developed a floatation tank in 1954 to commence experiments related to sensory deprivation. Over the years, many changes have been implemented especially on the tank design and usage to make it more practical, which you can experience now at Bangkok Float Center.
Here at Bangkok Float Center, the floatation tank consists of 1000 liters of water that creates a 30 cm deep solution and the solution is heated to 35.5 degree Celsius that similar to our skin temperature. You are virtually impossible to distinguish between parts of the body that are in contact with the water and those that aren't when you float.
A total of 700 kg of specially formulated salts that are imported directly from Dream Pod are added to the solution to create buoyancy. Hence, you can float effortlessly which allows you to experience total weightlessness as the effects of gravity on the body have been effectively removed and leaving our body to be free from the harmful forces of gravity.

| Epsom Salt Imported Directly From Dream Pod |
All you need to do is just simply lay on the bed of water filled with Epsom salt which provides buoyancy and supports the body to achieve the deepest form of relaxation known.
When you are in the floatation tank, you can opt to switch off the interior light to create a total quietness and dark environment that will allow your mind to drift into the deepest state of relaxation possible.
As you are now freed from all sensations of gravity, temperature, touch, sight and sound that contribute to 90% of normal neuromuscular activity, you can now conserve and redirect vast amounts of natural physical and mental energy.
This can help to resets the body's hormonal and metabolic balance, strengthening resistance to and accelerating recovery from the effects of stress, illness, injury or strenuous exercises.
The sensory deprivation chamber is the most important tool I've ever used for developing my mind, for thinking, for evolving. - Joe Rogan -

First Time Float
This floatation treatment might be something new to many of us, actually including myself as this is my first time hearing about floatation and I am going to experience it myself.
It was a mixed feeling at first as I do have minor Aquaphobia which is a fear of water especially deep water and strong waves, creating a mindset that I can't float to enjoy maximum relaxation. On top of that, my Nyctophobia also affected me at first as I will be alone in the dark floatation tank for quite some time.
However, the first visit orientation done by Mr. Sam really help me to fully understand how floating therapy work and what to expect during my session. According to Sam, it is best to schedule your appointment at the time that is easiest for you to relax and not to have strenuous or stressful activities post the session in order for you to experience total calmness and a relaxed state to get the most out of this therapy.
Contradict to post-session, any physical activity such as after a workout prior to your appointment will enhance your overall experience, just like I did since I was in a tense situation due to the traffic while I am on the road heading to the float center. This will give our body and mind the opportunity to be more relaxed and succumb to the healing properties of the Epson salts.

| Listen Carefully To The Pre-Float Brief For The Best Relaxation And Enjoy The Session |
Look at the Red Box in the Pre-Float Briefing slide, it is mandatory to shower before entering the Dreampod as this is the extra measure to ensure the overall hygiene and cleanliness of the facilities for the next floaters.
There is a shower facility available in your private spa room. Please be reminded that all deodorant, hair products, body lotions, makeup, perfumes and colognes must be removed prior to floating. This includes the removal of any jewelry and accessories to improve your overall experience in the pod.
As hygiene is Bangkok Float Center's priority, the water is definitely clean for you to float as the water will be fully filtered 3 times for at least 15 minutes between each float. It will pass through a hot tub caliber filter with both UV light and a chemical disinfection system.
The Epsom salts dissolved in the water also act as a natural disinfectant that creates a sterile environment where bacteria cannot live in. Hence, you can have peace of mind to float if you have hygiene-related concerns before.

In the tank, you are intimately in tune with your body and mind so that you can truly let everything go and enjoy the fun of floating.
