How it runs
Arrival — check in at reception; the team walks you to the jungle spa
Welcome tea — a quiet moment before your treatment
Consultation — talk through pressure, allergies and health with your therapist
Massage — 60 minutes of traditional Lao massage
Rest — herbal tea and water, with time to relax before you leave
Lao Traditional Massage is a classic of the jungle spa menu. Before you begin, your therapist asks about the pressure you like, any allergies and your health, and shapes the hour around you. If you are looking for a massage in Luang Prabang, this is the traditional Lao one, given at the jungle spa by the Khan River.
This Lao massage in Luang Prabang runs for 60 minutes, so it fits neatly between a morning in the old town and dinner by the river. The last treatment of the day starts at 18:30.
Come early for a shower and the rock pool, and stay afterwards for herbal tea before heading back.
