Spas and Chill Outs
Where to go for some quality down-time, relaxation or pampering? There are Thai Massage spas on every corner...too many to be listed here. However, there are a few places that offer something a little different.
The Dome Sauna
Chaloklum
The Dome has become a very popular night time hang out with the conscious crowd. Based around an earthy dome, with incredible acoustics, which serves as a herbal sauna. There is an open log fire every night to sit around under the stars, chilling out to ambient chill-out music. Fruit, coconuts and cakes are available and usually a soup or curry. The whole place has a deeply elemental vibe...earth, rocks, fire, stars, water and the Phangan tribe!
Open every night 6pm- midnight, 150 b

Baan Thai
This is traditional herbal sauna, located inside temple grounds in Wat Po Temple, Baan Thai. They have separate saunas for men and women, and everyone is expected to wear a sarong and dress modestly.
