History

Introduced in the early 1990s, spas in Thailand are growing in popularity each year. Not only are spas popular and fashionable with foreign tourists and expatriates, but the local Thais are also enjoying this new alternative therapy, one which is often ideal to ensure a smooth natural balance. The emerging middle class and big city dwellers are particularly fond of spas, and enjoy visiting them to relax, cleanse, and purify. At first, spas were only to be found in 5-star hotels but they have now mushroomed everywhere.
