There are many reasons to come to Phuket and one of the reasons is the spas on the island. The concept of spa in Thailand blends with the ancient traditions of natural healing through herbal baths, massage, mediation and the continued pursuit of inner and outer beauty.

The temple was the center of learning all disciplines, including medicine in Thailand before the arrival of modern medicine and monks played a role of pharmacist, prescribing herbal remedies, steam compresses, massages and other treatments such as ailments for various relief.

Thailand as in the rest of Asia, spa has evolved into a concept focusing on the spiritual and natural, drawing traditional mediation and the key to maintaining health and beauty has helped the Thais to respect nature for the desire of achieving physical and mental well being.

So, if you are in Phuket, Thailand, do miss to try the ancient massage therapy in it’s original form, from the many spas on the island that offer traditional Thai massage or if you are staying in one of the major Phuket hotels that offer traditional Thai massage as part of their health and fitness services. Also try the natural healing and spa centers where herbal steam bath and sauna treatments are derived from holistic therapies practiced for centuries.

Most of the resorts on Phuket island, have spas in them, so don’t look far, just inquire at the receptionist or the concierge and if you are staying in any guesthouse on the island, just look for the spa and massage places but always to find ones that offer the traditional Thai massage as it is better in Thailand than anywhere else in the world where they offer authentic traditional Thai massage.
