Pamper Yourself in Phuket

Our hectic lifestyle causes tension and stress to our mind and body. Most people suffer from muscle ache, joint pain, headache and all sorts of body discomfort after focusing on their work (which seem endless) all the time. Why not give yourself some time off and pamper yourself once awhile with a short vacation? That’s the “it” way to recharge yourself nowadays.

Phuket has been popular as a haven of spa. Pampering yourself in a spa treatment during your Phuket escapade is the best choice for indulgence and relaxation. My personal favourite would be the Island Herb Spa which offers comfortable atmosphere, filled with serenity and tranquility, helping me find back calmness and recollect myself. I felt very much pampered by their spa treatments which include steam bath, jacuzzi, body scrub and massage enhanced with enlightening traditional touch. When you are there, don’t forget to pay them a visit just to unwind yourself.

There is another treatment that I would love to share – the traditional Thai Massage. No visit to Phuket is complete without a traditional Thai massage. Thai massage is totally different from any other types of massage. It emphasizes more on applying pressure using the thumbs, fingertips, hands, feet, arms, legs as well as body weight. This deep-massage technique brings total relaxation and rejuvenation, promising complete rest and comfort, for your well-being.

During my previous trip to Phuket, aside from recharging myself with the spa and massage sessions, I managed to visit a few other interesting places which might also interest you! Heard of Wat Saphan Hin? It’s the home for a beautiful structure that you must not miss. From afar, you can see the tall standing Buddha, standing majestically on the hill top. You might need a pair of comfortable shoes for your journey towards the Buddha statue as the path is slightly slanted on a slope. But I can assure you that the scene is definitely amazing! The gigantic statue is surrounded by tall stone poles which are the ruins of its prayer hall.

Besides that, the Chalong Temple is also another magnificent site and it is the most significant Buddhist temple in the island. Its appealing architecture structure with three connecting roofs mesmerized my eye sight. Besides the main prayer hall, there is also the Grand Pagoda nearby. The walls of the pagoda are painted with colourful images which depicts the story of Buddha’s life.

Promthep Cape, the most south point of Phuket, has been the best location to witness sunset. I know there is a lighthouse with an observation level which accommodates greater views of sunset. Spend a romantic evening with your loved ones while bidding farewell to the sun for the day. As Promthep Cape is located beside the sea, you can witness the sky keeps changing colours as the sun falls. This is due to the different light spectrums reflecting from the water, which makes it all worth the wait and effort.

Longing for a break already? Wait no longer! Pamper yourself with some spa treatments and scenic views of Phuket. PYO Travel is always the one for you!
