Northern Thailand’s cultural capital packs impressive spa and wellness options into its historic core. The standout Fah Lanna Spa, tucked within Chiang Mai’s Old City walls, excels at authentic treatments. Their Tok Sen massage, where therapists rhythmically tap wooden tools along energy lines, ranks as a must-try local specialty. I’m especially fond of their wellness packages combining traditional techniques with modern comfort – they strike just the right balance.
Beyond the city, guided excursions to natural hot springs and remote hill tribe villages offer a perfect blend of relaxation and culture. The sunrise hot air balloon rides above misty mountains particularly impressed me for their stunning views.
