Most patrons would describe the spa as a place where one ventures when in need of stress-relief pampering. For others, spas are places where you can slip away to and forget about life's troubles. Spa professionals and advocates offer a simple and practical rule of thumb on what constitutes a genuine spa. |
The real test of a spa is the quality of the overall experience and the end results delivered. Was the delicate balance of mind, body and spirit restored? Did the particular spa experience create a sense of well-being? Did the individual feel as though they got a new lease on life? Did they leave the spa premises revitalised and bouncing with energy?
In Thailand, the vast majority of existing spa facilities are Hotel/Resort Spas. The Chiva-Som International Health Resort in Hua Hin is the country's only destination spa. In the 2002 Cond? Nast Traveller readership survey, the facility was rated the world's number one Destination Spa by an overwhelming 92.58% and labelled "the number one sensation in overseas destination spas." |
