Thailand is recognized world wide for it’s body treatments mainly because of the famous Thai massage, herbal baths, meditation and the continuous pursuit of inner and outer beauty. This is why it hold the title of Spa Capital of Asia.

Word of advice: if you have to go back to work, stay away from a Relaxing Massage and choose an Energy Boost Massage.
- Mineral Spring Spa – Like any other touristic attraction, Mineral Springs have been a very common destination for several generations. It is mainly recreational but it’s been said to be extremely effective among patients with skin or bone diseases.
