Thai Massage and Herbal Saunas :
This great way to relax the body - and the mind - is available all over Phuket Island. A massage to restore balance among the elements. An herbal sauna to cleanse and rejuvenate the body. An herbal pack to calm nerves and redirect the energy. All this may sound somewhat new in the West, but it has been part of daily life here for centuries.
One can lie on a simple mat on the sand with two old ladies with fingers of steel working your back, or take in a world-class spa experience in some of the most beautifully designed spas in this service-oriented country. Most hotels rated three stars and above offer traditional massage as part of their health and fitness services. All the spa resorts include it in their therapy programs.
Thai Boxing :
Muay Thai as it is called in Thai. You might have heard about it, or even seen it on TV—the furious punches, crushing elbow strikes, lethal kicks, powerful grappling and artful feints. But nothing compares to seeing them executed to loud cheers and heart-racing tune of an accompanying wind-and-percussion ensemble. Welcome to the exciting world of Muay Thai, a martial art like no others, and a proud heritage of a nation. The stadium is located at Saphan Hin in Phuket Town and bouts are held Friday nights.
Temple Tour :
Since these are quiet sanctuaries where monks live with the minimum of material possessions and where they are challenged with the task of overcoming physical desires, it is expected that women – representing the physical desire perhaps most difficult to overcome – should act and dress modestly. When entering any building within a monastery shoes must be removed.
The Buddhist site most often visited on Phuket is Wat Chalong, a sprawling temple in the middle of the island with lots of room for tours buses. But the island has numerous, equally interesting monasteries that can be visited freely. One of the most curious, with a strange history, or fable attached to it, is Wat Phra Thong (Golden Buddha Monastery) on the airport road on the north side of Talang town.
