About this treatment

Luk pra kob is a centuries-old Thai remedy: bundles of herbs wrapped in cotton, steamed and pressed along the body. Our compresses are handmade in-house by our therapists, who trained in Thai herbal medicine, using herbs from a local community in Chiang Mai. The gentle heat and herbal aroma melt tension after a Thai massage.

Your session

What to expect

  1. Change in private down to your underwear (we provide disposable underwear if you prefer) and relax under a sheet.
  2. A Thai massage loosens the body first.
  3. Warm compresses are pressed and rolled over the back, shoulders, arms and legs.
  4. The heat is tested on your skin first, so tell us if it feels too hot.
  5. Finish relaxed with warm tea.

Good to know

  • Please tell us about sensitive skin, herb allergies, pregnancy or fever.
  • Herbs may leave a light golden tint and scent on the skin. Both wash off easily.

Massage supports relaxation and wellbeing. It is not a substitute for medical care, so please check with your doctor if you have a health condition.
