"Wellness retreats may no longer be the groundbreaking type of travel that they once were, but Bangkok’s RAKxa Wellness & Medical Retreat is a refuge like no other. Located a short boat ride from the city center amidst the lush ‘Green Lung’ (or Bang Krachao) island, this sanctuary is known for its tailored wellness programs. Each one is designed for your individual needs, preferences, and goals by renowned medical doctors and traditional healing masters. The latest and greatest in longevity practices and medical innovation are on deck, including DNA testing, cryotherapy, whole-body light therapy, hyperbaric chambers, and laser therapy. But it’s the combination of these modalities with traditional treatments—like singing bowl healing, acupuncture, Shirodhara oil dripping, and flotation therapy—that really allows guests to go a step further in their wellness journey." - Gabby Shacknai
