Drawing on ancient healing techniques from India and China, Thailand’s system of traditional medicine lends itself seamlessly to modern-day spa treatments. In a typical spa-attached luxury hotel or resort, you can expect a mix of Thai massage, acupressure, yoga, and herbal poultices containing fragrant blends of sweet orange, kaffir lime and red jasmine. The masseur will apply gentle stretches and stimulate key meridian lines, or sen, to restore the body’s essential balance.

Coupled with exquisite beach-side or jungle locations, Thailand’s top spas rank among the very finest in Asia and offer a wonderful way to soothe away stresses and strains – whether you prefer a one-off pampering session or a full, three-day package, complete with Tibetan singing bowls and crystal chakra balancing!
