Thailand Spa Experience
Thailand has the quintessential spa culture. From the unique
spa cuisine, the beaches that demand relaxation, and the primary religion, Buddhism,
that is centered around mindfulness. How many other countries have a massage
style named for them? (Thai massage is taken so seriously here, in fact, that
60 stone tablets carved with palm-leaf texts describing it are enshrined in Bangkok's
Wat Pho temple.)
Thailand's spa landscape continues to evolve, with new spas
opening and classics getting better with age. ThaiMed can arrange for you any
type of Spa experience that you desire; from our many different associations
and partnerships with the almost endless amount of exotic spas in this country,
we can arrange from the following popular spa treatments, or if you have something
in mind...just tell us and we can arrange it!
Destination Spas
Destination spas are resorts that are completely dedicated to
spa treatments. Their numbers are growing but they are the rarest type of spa,
and usually the most expensive as well. All of the guests are there for the purpose
of following a treatment program, whether for slimming, relaxation, detoxifying,
or increasing their energy levels.
The programs, which require a thorough consultation, tend to be very extensive
and dedicated, including special menus, exercise programs, hydrotherapy, skin
treatment, massages - everything you could possibly need.
Hotel/Resort Spas
Hotel and Resort spas are generally resorts or hotels first and
spas second. The spa section is just one of the range of services offered by
the establishment.
With this type, most tend to pick and choose what spa services they want on a
daily basis, and blend that with the traditional sightseeing and shopping that
are part of any holiday.
Day Spas
Day spas are those that generally provide the full range of spa
services but don't offer accommodations. You visit the spa, receive your treatment
and after a rest and perhaps a cup of herbal tea, continue on with your ThaiMed
experience.
Health Retreats
Health Retreats tend to be very specialized in their approach
to treating you, focussing on a specific kind of treatment over a long period
of a week or more. Sometimes they are simple affairs with basic accommodations
and are usually somewhat isolated to encourage you to concentrate on the program.
These "spas" are favored by those who wish to lose weight quickly,
detoxify their system, and/or quit drugs or alcohol so it is important to know
what you are getting into.
Medical Spas
A Medical Spa is a relatively new concept in Thailand. A general
Thai Medical Spa will set a new healing benchmark by combining the modern western
medical technology with the traditional Thai herbal medicines. To provide clients
with innovative health and beauty products, it offers a wide selection of personalized
beauty and medical treatments, weight-control programs, body enhancement services
such as massages, laser acupuncture, skin care clinic in conjunction with cosmetic
surgery.
The personalized programs aim to increase the physical fitness, to offer the
alternative remedy to ailments and to exactly meet the customers need for the
better health. All programs are strictly under the close supervision of the expert
physician team.
Together with revolutionary medical beauty treatment, Thai Medical Spas also
care for client's superior comfort by incorporating a high-end luxurious
accommodation with health dietary meals together with the health and sports facilities
such as swimming pool, outdoor Jacuzzi, spatial whirlpool bath, sauna, steam
and fitness club within its compound. |
