Herbal tea, water and a rest before you leave
The jungle spa at The Namkhan, by the Khan River, offers an ice bath in Luang Prabang for guests who want cold therapy on its own. Time in the cold water is used to support muscle recovery, circulation and a calmer nervous system.
You are welcomed with tea, and a team member stays with you the whole time you are in the water. Towels and a warm bathrobe are ready the moment you step out, followed by herbal tea and water and time to rest before you leave.
