The Spa of Thailand

Thailand has emerged as the spa capital of Asia in the past couple decades. Drawing on its rich tradition of homegrown remedies and herbal knowledge, the country has tapped into these folk traditions to build a vibrant, modern spa industry. Nowadays, spas of sorts and sizes can be found throughout Thailand, but the most famous and exclusive are found in Thailand’s largest cities: Bangkok, Phuket, Pattaya, Koh Samui, Chiang Mai, and Hua Hin. Nonetheless, all major tourist attractions offer a superb choice of diverse spa treatments, offered by the hour, by the week, or by the month, depending on one’s needs, commitment, and investment.
