Between Phuket and Krabi, Koh Yao Yai is a quieter alternative to Thailand’s busier islands. Its shores are lined with palm-fringed beaches and fishing villages, while inland, coconut groves and rubber plantations shape daily life. Wellness here is found in the island’s slower rhythm — sunrise kayaking, cycling shaded lanes, or unwinding in eco-lodges that overlook Phang Nga Bay. Koh Yao Yai is simple, authentic, and restorative, a place where time seems to stretch with the tides.

Northern Thailand’s cultural capital, Chiang Mai is a city of temples, night markets, and leafy streets framed by mountains. Wellness thrives here: herbal saunas, massage schools, and spa resorts offering treatments drawn from Lanna traditions. The surrounding countryside holds hot springs, waterfalls, and trekking trails through forest and hill-tribe villages. Days move easily between gilded stupas, bustling bazaars, and calm riverside cafés. Chiang Mai is both restorative and vibrant — a place where heritage, healing, and creativity meet.

Thailand’s capital is a city of contrasts — gilded temples and neon-lit skylines, bustling canals and serene monasteries. The Grand Palace and Wat Pho glow with history, while floating markets and street food stalls keep daily life vibrant. Amid the energy, wellness takes on urban forms: traditional Thai massage, herbal steams, and riverside retreats that give respite from the pace. Bangkok is intense yet grounding, a place where culture, flavour, and rhythm collide.
