How it runs

Arrival — check in at reception, then a welcome tea at the jungle spa
Before you start — a short chat about pressure, allergies and health
Head massage — 45 minutes with warm oil
Rest — herbal tea and water, and time to rest before you leave
This head massage in Luang Prabang is a shorter treatment that fits easily into a day in town or around the resort. Your therapist asks about pressure, allergies and any health conditions first, then works with warm oil for 45 minutes. The treatment room is in the jungle spa at The Namkhan, beside the Khan River. Come a little early if you like: there is a shower and the rock pool to enjoy before your treatment, and the sauna can be heated for you if you book it 45 minutes ahead. When it is over, stay for herbal tea and water and rest for a while before you go. Couples can book the treatment together.
