Many of you may have heard about spas before. When the word spa comes to mind, you might think of Thai traditional massage. However, spas not only offer Thai traditional massage, but rather a holistic treatment which utilizes the essence of nature. In the present day, the spa business is becoming well-known all over the world. Thai spas in particular are known to many foreigners. Even superstars like David Beckham have experienced the Thai spa sensation.
   Spas in other areas of Thailand may use different methods based on the environment and the culture of the local people. The spas in the North are the most famous because of their unique style. Anyone who has been to Chiang Mai would probably acknowledge its unique culture, architectural design, and the beauty of the native people. Moreover, the average temperature of this region is lower than any other in Thailand. Because of this, it has inherited the ingredients that create the unique style of The Thai Lanna Spa. These spas are focused on the senses of sight, taste, smell, sound, and touch which lead to relaxation. The traits listed above are the essential formula which yields the uniqueness of the Thai Lanna Spa.

   In present day Chiang Mai, there are many spas operating successfully. A community of spas has been formed for gathering news and techniques in order to keep Thai Lanna standards up to date. The Thai Lanna Spa Association has 48 spas throughout Chiang Mai, Chaing Rai, Mae Hongson, Phitsanulok, Lamphun, Lampang, and Nan.
   Enjoying the spa experience is another form of tourism, a way of traveling that focuses on relaxation. The northern travel program for good health is designed for a group or individual people who seek relaxation. The main goal of this is to relax during the weekend or whenever desired.
   Sometimes you may feel tired….tired of traveling, tired of the heat and sun and tired of having to think about too much. Come and relax, it's another way of life. Travel to recover from stress. It will feel like you are in another world, a world free from the stresses and strains of every day life.
