Spas and Massages in Krabi, Thailand
When you visit Krabi, Thailand, a great way to pamper yourself is getting a massage or visiting a spa for other services and treatments. Don’t expect to find any spas that cater to the more western spa trends of inner body cleansing or extreme exercise classes in Krabi.
You will find most spas located in resorts or hotels, which are open to non-guests. However, there are two well-known independent day spas: Boossabakorn Spa in Ao Nang, and Kantawan Spa in Krabi Town and Koh Lanta.
Boossabakorn Spa is an indoor, air-conditioned spa that focuses on ancient Thai and Ayurvedic treatments. In addition to traditional spa services, it also has a sauna, herbal steam room, hairdresser, and beauty salon.
Kantawan Spa’s buildings are made of teak and the architecture is pure Thai. With a lovely lotus pond on the grounds, it is difficult to stay tense for very long. Their services include different types of massages, body scrubs, and herbal hot compresses. Both spas use locally sourced herbs and products for their spa treatments.

The Benefits of Spa Treatments and Massage in Thailand
Spa treatments, although considered by some as self-indulgent in a negative way, actually has some very important health benefits. Many people don’t allow themselves to indulge and relax, which is very typical of today’s stressful lifestyle.
Even if the therapeutic remedies had no known medicinal effect, just lying down and being pampered reduces stress levels, muscle tenseness, and in many instances, high blood pressure.
Consider this: A Thai massage normally lasts two hours! Incorporating full body stretching and reflexology, the Thai massage is a very healthy indulgence. It increases blood circulation throughout the body and breaks down bound-up fascia and tight muscles, all of which permits better elimination of toxins from the body, and better flexibility. It is guaranteed that when you finish with your massage treatment, you will feel very relaxed and rejuvenated.
