The food the body scrubs, caves and the pools made a memorable experience.

Location surreal! The experience is one of relaxing as soon as you walk into the reception hut, and are greeted with warmth, care and professionalism. From then on, the whole experience is wonderful. Professional service to inform you of the process you will have, and then the beautiful forest surrounds with plunge pools and rock-encased steam rooms will leave you... More

It was so peaceful and beautiful. We spent the day in the rock pools and steam rooms before eating some delicious snacks included in the price. The choice of massages were very good and the women were really professional- be prepared to strip and only wear a sarong!! Complete bliss!

go to lamai, Chewang and go to Herbal Spa and pay about $10 dollars for a 60 minute massage. Save your money here and go everyday for a couple of hours there. :) Massages are same quality

We could not have been happier with the day. We booked via the internet while in Thailand, which was easy to do. Booked the 4 hour package (can't remember the name)... More
