Spas in Krabi

Krabi, like most popular tourist destinations in Thailand, has its fair share of luxury spas. These tend to be more indulgent that the exercise or yoga centres elsewhere in the Kingdom, with scrubs wraps and body treatments popular with visitors.

The majority are attached to big hotels and set in opulent tropical gardens. They offer an escape from the stresses of modern life and the aches and pains developed through hours of sightseeing.

Although the treatments at Krabi Spas are pretty standard fare, the ambiance experience in a lot of them is pretty unique and attracts a host of star names. Visitors must, of course, exercise a little caution when dealing with a traditional Thai massage, as the harsh twisting and muscle pummelling can be quite painful. However, after a week of this sort of treatment you are sure to feel like a new person and return home limber and relaxed.

Haircuts, beauty treatments, waxing and manicures are available at beauty saloons for a much less expensive rate than the five star resorts, and traveller traditions such as henna tattoos and hair braiding can be found all over Railey and Ao Nang beaches.
