Nurture your wellbeing at the city’s spas and green oases.
With the Green Bangkok 2030 project reshaping the city, and Lumpini Park undergoing a rejuvenation for its centenary, the Thai capital is shedding its party image to emerge as a wellness haven.
Beyond Bangkok’s renowned nightlife and culinary scene lies the transformative narrative of a metropolis that intertwines holistic health with pioneering wellness, rooted in ancient Thai traditions. We can book you into medical wellness retreats for futuristic treatments, such as cryotherapy, DNA testing, and body light therapy – on top of traditional Tok Sen massages. No longer confined to spas, wellbeing pulses through the city’s veins, with the Bangkok250 and Green Bangkok 2030 initiatives transforming urban landscapes into verdant oases. Explore revitalised parks, stroll the country’s first ‘garden bridge’ at Chao Phraya Sky Park, and enjoy immersive views of urban nature from the skywalk of the recently opened Benjakitti Forest Park.
