Massage & Spa

Thailand is renowned for its array of exotic treatments and therapies. Perhaps most well known is traditional thai massage which many call "the perfect massage". It's an ancient art deting back more than 2,500 years to the temples and traditions of Buddhism.

Traditional Thai Massage
The basic principle of traditional thai massage involves the concept of 10 invisible energy lines flowing through the body, know as "Sip Saen". It's believed that by massaging these points diseases can be cured and pain eradicated. Traditional Thai massage includes deep stretches similar to yoga, rhythmic, gentle rocking movements, and pressure at specific points on the body. It's very popular with travellers and the most popular spa treatment is traditional thai massage, be it foot massage or body massage.

If you have time and have never tried a traditional thai massge in a traditional environment, Wat Pho Thai Massage School is a good place to start. There are numerous traditional thai massage centres and if you are somewhere on Surawong, Silom or Sukhumvit, you are bound to find places that provide traditional massage.

Beauty Day Spa
As many say, your visit to Thailand is not complete without the pampering of a beauty day spa. Like the traditional Thai massage, Thai spas provide traditional ways of preserving well-being, curing ailments, and promoting the balance of a healthy body and soul. It's different from traditional Thai massage in that it utilizes plants and herbs with the use of water.
