SPA HISTORY, WHY THAI?
Thailand has earned a reputation as the spa capital of Asia and Destination Spa of the Year, boasting a significant number of spas and many of them are ranked as world-class. As we believe that Vietnam is still young in spa industry and has a lot of potential for future development in this area, we have brought Thai specialists to train our Vietnamese therapists to be able to deliver the ultimate spa experience to the guest. There are four distinctive reasons why spa performed by Thai therapists are important for Salinda Spa:
Cultural heritage of the traditional Thai spa and its conceptualization
The success of Thai spas lies in the beauty of Thai culture which cannot be copied anywhere else. A rich heritage that embodies a time-honored healing tradition based on herbal and holistic remedies, generations of folk wisdom, and centuries-old healing techniques offer the most unique experience for the consumers.
Spa treatments also emphasize on pampering the five senses of human beings: sight, taste, smell, sound and touch. All these are held significant to provide visitors with utmost satisfaction.
Thai spas are very demanding around the world due to all the points mentioned above. By adopting its concepts and designs, Salinda Spa will be able to provide a traditional Thai experience that is not available anywhere in Vietnam.
Natural health and wellness benefits of Thai spa treatments
Thai spa has used the concept of “back to Nature” as the theme for natural health and beauty. In Thailand, there is much diversity of herbs which can be applied in the treatments for the hedonistic experiences of high-end consumers. In adopting a holistic approach to health and well-being, Thai spas offer several stages designed to calm the mind, the body and the spirit. The resources of Thai spa are derived from indigenous raw materials which can be found in Thailand or most regions of South East Asia as the very essence of the traditional Thai living.
Thai spa concept consists of three conceptions:
Thai cultural heritage
