Long
Stay
Thailand
owes much of its international popularity
to the remarkable
variety of its natural attractions. On
offer is a tremendous choice of
settings – blissful beaches and islands,
rugged hills and jungles,
teaming rivers and waterfalls. Now a related
product of this diverse
environment, the country's rich natural
healing heritage has started to |
attract
a new generation of discerning tourists.
With the increasing international popularity
of
health centred holidays, Thailand is pushing
to the fore its world-renowned traditional
massage,
herbal steam baths,healing arts, meditation,
aromatherapy, yoga, acupuncture, cookery
and
beauty treatments, as will as an ever-expanding
selection of world-class spas.
Longer
stays are the order of the day as visitors
seek not just to experience these healthy
ways
fleetingly but to absorb maximum benefits
over an extended period, while at the
same time experiencing the country's history
and culture at a deeper level. Once the
process of
rejuvenation and enlightenment starts
to bear fruit, the logic of making this
choice becomes
beautifully apparent and quite irresistible. |
