Any given month of the year is a wonderful opportunity to bring to your attention the fact that one of the wisest investments you can make is to allocate a portion of your vacation time to self-care and maintenance activities. Self-care, or “self-care” as it is more often called in English, can take various forms in Thailand. Some examples of these forms include going for walks in the center of nature, doing yoga, or riding a bike. The Land of Smiles is an excellent location to visit while on vacation in order to take some time for personal reflection and to relax both the body and the mind. These are some of the suggestions that we have.
Meditate in Phuket
There are a lot of different places in Thailand where you may go to sit on a beach with warm sand and practice yoga or meditation while looking out at the ocean. There are other facilities where you may enjoy a more intensive experience, in addition to the fact that you can do it in a natural setting if you so want. The Dharana Retreat and Meditation Center in Phuket is one location that is known for providing visitors with a very genuine experience. The Dharana Meditation and Retreat Center is situated on the beautiful island of Phuket, in a very peaceful part of the island. Here, visitors are given an introduction to the practice of various meditative and spiritual training techniques. Visitors have their pick of beginner-friendly meditation retreats, no-cost meditation workshops, and individualized instruction when they stop by. There are free sessions available every Tuesday and Thursday that are ideal for a first encounter with the traditional ” Mindfulness of Breathing ” or with the Anapanasati approach. These sessions take place.
Tour Sukhothai by bike
Self-care in Thailand may be achieved by a combination of getting some exercise and learning about the country’s rich history and culture. Many bike trails are available around the country, and some of the more scenic ones pass through historic districts and parks. The path that goes through the ancient city of Sukhothai, which was founded in the 13th century, is consistently ranked as one of our top choices among bicycle routes. Sukhothai Historical Park is accessible on a bike via trails that weave through verdant paddy fields, historic canals, and, of course, the park itself. UNESCO has designated this location as a World Heritage Site, and it is home to the well-preserved ruins of 21 different ancient sites that are separated into five different zones.
Take a walk on the beach
We are all of the same mind in that one of the activities that may be done to relax the most is to go for a long stroll on the beach. There are almost 3,000 kilometres of coastline in Thailand, providing visitors with a diverse selection of beaches from which to pick. Laem Yai beach, on the other hand, is an excellent suggestion if you happen to be in Ko Samui. You’ll be able to take in the calm of the water and the lush greenery, which is dominated by coconut trees, while you stroll down the powdery beach. Sunsets in Thailand don’t get much more captivating than the one that can be seen from Laem Yai in the late afternoon. You should be able to make out the Ang Thong National Marine Park in the distance.
Adventure in the middle of nature
Self-care may be accomplished in a wonderful way by spending time in nature. The country of Thailand is home to some of the unique types of flora and fauna found anywhere on the Asian continent. Seventy percent of the landmass that makes up Thailand is made up of mountains. Therefore the country has a wide landscape that is covered in thick forests. A picturesque and secluded village known as Phu Lang Ka may be found nestled in the hills of the province of Phayao. The settlement is encircled by the Phu Lang Ka National Park, which safeguards the surrounding limestone karst topography, which is home to a rich variety of flora and fauna as well as a number of waterfalls. You should make it a point to climb the tallest hill in the park, which is 1,700 metres high. From the summit, you will get a magnificent view of the surrounding area, which is frequently shrouded in cloud cover.
Visit the markets
You will need to eat right if you want to maintain both your mind and your body in good form. You may get some of the freshest foods in Thailand in the country’s famed markets, which include both morning and night markets as well as floating markets. Instead of going shopping the traditional way, why not try going down the river on a boat instead? The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is well-known for the large number of merchants offering fresh fruit, an essential component of a diet high in nutritional value. For an authentic and comprehensive Thai eating experience, in addition to fresh local fruit, you will also be able to enjoy Thai classics such as noodles, coconut pancakes, and other dishes.
Treat yourself to a wellness retreat
Many different locations in Thailand provide visitors with the opportunity to participate in a wellness retreat. They provide traditional Thai treatments in a tranquil setting, as well as Thai food prepared with fresh ingredients. The Jirung Health Village is one of the most well-known retreats for its high quality. It is located in Chiang Mai. You will find further natural remedies here, in addition to the natural environment, calm, and quiet. Traditional Thai medicine is what you can expect to receive as treatment at the Jirung Four Element Spa. The spa’s wellness treatments are derived from the highest quality and most respected Ayurvedic teachings.
