Thailand Guides - Spa

Spas in Thailand can differ considerably in their approach to treating you. They can be a basic massage parlour where you pop in for an hour or so, get a rubdown and leave, or a health retreat, where you stay for a couple of weeks on a strict regimen of treatments, exercise, a special diet and perhaps even a course of enemas. It's important to choose the type that is best for what you want to achieve.

One thing to consider before purchasing a spa treatment is whether they provide a pre-treatment consultation. A good spa should have a trained staff who can answer health questions regarding allergies, heart conditions, pregnancy, etc, as well as establishing exactly what you want from your spa experience. Price-wise, a spa course can cost you anywhere from 35 to 200 dollars per treatment.
