Over the last few decades, Thailand has emerged as one of the world’s biggest hubs for health and wellness retreat. The country has become a favorite place for millions of fitness lovers and holidaymakers, who love to enjoy the herbal massages and therapies on the virgin beaches of the Indian Ocean. Thailand’s health and wellness industry mark an ideal blend of Yoga, Ayurveda, herbal spa therapy, and breathtaking natural sceneries. The local Thai culture, as well as the Yoga and Ayurveda specialists from India, has contributed a lot to the making of Thailand’s vast wellness world. While the demand of Thailand as a health-sponsoring center is at an all time high, you have to be very clever when selecting such programs in the country. Here are a few things and suggestions you should care about before booking a health and wellness retreat in Thailand.

Location

Location becomes a very important factor when considering a holiday in a large country such as Thailand. The Siamese land is a nature’s bliss with the blessings of Mother Nature adoring the country from all around. For relishing the Sun’s warmth by the most beautiful seashores, there can’t be a better place than the island of Phuket. The northern province of Chiang Mai is famous for its yogic legacy and exotic experiences amidst luscious rainforests. Search for a program in the area of your preference. The country also gives you an opportunity to seek serenity near the pleasant flow of water down the picturesque Erawan Waterfall in Kanchanaburi.

Facilities

Going on a retreat vacation without a touch of luxury is a task incomplete. While you are spending a substantial amount of money, you are authorized to expect an opulent lifestyle at the resort. Prior to clicking on the ‘book now’ button, check out for the facilities they offer during the program. Most of the Spa centers in Thailand offer amazing accommodation with all the amenities for basic and luxurious living. Check if the health retreat in Thailand you are looking for includes water shower, free Wi-Fi, Ayurveda center, 24×7 room service, massage in an open area, beach Yoga, etc.

Extra Activities

A wellness retreat doesn’t only mean rejuvenating therapy and spiritual practices. Refreshment and enjoyment are also the integral parts of a vacation retreat. While therapies and massages help you recover physically, extra-curricular activities, adventurous sports, and sightseeing create a longtime impact on you. It is recommended that you make sure that the rejuvenation center you are going to spend your holiday in, offers these activities for the overall invigoration of the mind, body, and soul. Confirm if the resort management provides trekking, surfing, rafting, etc. or not because these are the things that make memories during the program.

Explore the program modules

Program content is the thing you go to a retreat. The curriculum of the retreat vacation is the main part of the whole program. There are a number of things that come into this category such as Ayurveda sessions, Yoga classes, Meditation hours, Pranayama practice, Spa service, etc. It is your responsibility to check for these basics of a health and wellness retreat while exploring the retreat website. If you can’t find these, ask the retreat management to clarify the subjects that you are going to experience during the retreat event. Make sure to choose the one that promises a holiday with an ideal schedule with all these activities in an assortment.

General suggestions

Last but not the least, there should be a proper and single reason to go for a retreat program- enjoy the moments. Although a health and wellness retreat in Thailand is considered an opportunity to heal the body and mind to get a healthful personality, the major focus of the aspirants should be on gaining a stunning experience of living in the lap of Mother Nature. Enjoyment is the best healing. While you are about to set your foot in Thailand, go through the map of the country and list out the places to explore and things to experience in the Buddhist Kingdom. Do not forget to make friends and get acquainted with the local culture. These are the memories that remain with you forever.
