The Thai spa experience brings together a range of indigenous
resources, folk wisdom and traditions that have been
handed down through the centuries. It captures the very
essence of traditional Thai living. Spa operators delve
into this ancient treasure trove to create exceptional
spa products so that alluring dimensions of this tropical
paradise enrich the spa experience.
Gracious hospitality and service is complemented
by the friendly and caring nature and gentle ways
of the Thai people, adding a uniquely Thai touch to
world-class service and hospitality. Kindness, compassion
and the act of comforting and caring for others, as
advocated by the Theravada Buddhist tradition, is
very much part of everyday life. The gesture is instinctive
and genuine.
Many of the healing techniques and well-being therapies
featured on the contemporary spa menu have been adopted
and adapted from such practices. These include natural
healing a tradition based on the healing power of
indigenous herbs and plants, holistic remedies specially
formulated to restore balance and rejuvenate mind,
body and spirit and a variety of other healing techniques,
including meditative practices, which reflect deep-rooted
Buddhist influences.
For example, the act of performing traditional Thai
Massage is considered to be an act of compassion in
which the healer (or therapist) practices the physical
application of metta (loving kindness) and bestows
a healing touch in the spirit of giving. The Thai
spa experience thus enables guests to experience various
aspects of Thai-ness.
Thailand excels in the quality and diversity of its
spa offerings. Thai spas really do have it all variety
and value framed in a perfect blend of Western leisure
concepts and traditional Asian well being therapies.
Value for money is an added plus. A harmonious blend
of cultural heritage and destination diversity makes
Thailand an infinitely attractive spa destination.
