Wellness in Krabi

Posted by beach climber on July 7th, 2011 filed in activities, beach life, holidays, travel tips

Krabi is fast becoming a known wellness vacation destination with its many spas, yoga schools, fitness centres and nearby thermal hot springs. Being a health fanatic myself, I find it the perfect place to relax on the beach while still enjoying the benefits of my healthy lifestyle.

The best spas throughout Krabi are of course at the more luxurious resorts, where the ambience sometimes surpasses the actually treatment. However the famous Thai Massage is of course always excellent and no trip to Krabi is complete without at least one of these therapeutic massages.

Yoga and fitness are becoming extremely popular throughout Krabi not only among the tourists but also to the locals. Each month I see the Yoga schools and fitness centres fill up more and more as people are becoming more health conscious and beginning to follow a healthy lifestyle.

A favourite spot of mine is the Klong Thom Hot Springs. It can be found 70kms outside of Krabi town where you can relax in 35-40C water while enjoying the natural scenery of the surrounding jungle. It truly is a fantastic and therapeutic experience that everyone should try.
