 THE THAI SPA MENU
SPA TREATMENTS
Most reputable Thai spas embrace the true spirit and tradition of "holistic healing" and offer a spa menu that features a comprehensive but balanced range of exotic, revitalising 'feel good' and 'look good' treatments that go beyond the superficial health and beauty services available in the average beauty salon. Holistic spa programmes are specially formulated to restore balance and rejuvenate mind, body and spirit.
The typical Thai spa menu presents an overwhelmingly impressive choice of tempting offerings which include traditional Thai, Swedish, Javanese, Lulur or Sports massage, therapies for jet lag, aromatherapy, reflexology, foot massage, skin care treatments such as facials, mud and body wraps, scrubs, treatments for hair, skin and face, acupressure, herbal steam rooms, and floral baths. While herbal steam baths and massage techniques have evolved from traditional healing methods and herbal remedies, other state-of-the-art options including hydrotherapy and recontouring are also available.
As spa operators feel the pressure of mounting competition and strive to differentiate to survive and excel, an increasing number of Thai spas are developing their own lines of products that capture the exotic qualities of Thai herbs. This has contributed to a renaissance of traditional Thai herbal recipes and ancient remedies prized for the healing potency of the natural ingredients from which they are made.
An increasing number of spas have also turned to ancient philosophy, indigenous Thai folk wisdom, and traditional Oriental and Asian well-being remedies in search of tried and tested solutions to stress and ailments. This new realm of the spa experience incorporates mind and body activities such as meditation, tai chi, yoga, stress management and holistic wellness such as acupuncture.
On shorter stays such as weekends and long holidays, spa guests are more likely to be interested in trying out exotic Thai treatments. For extended stays, a spa menu that offers a balanced combination of Eastern and Western therapies works best.
