Here is my favourite spa, Saleema's No. 9. You'll find it near the Last Fisherman Bar, along Ao Nang Beach. I like it here because Saleema and her family are friendly, not pushy and they are all very skilled at Thai massage. Thai massage is very firm and deep, apparently you learn it at the hospital and it takes a week's difficult and serious training to earn your certificate, hence the ladies can teach you a little of their techniques but recommend going to the course. I would love to learn, it is a real art form.
The big advantage to going to No. 9 instead of one of the fancier air conditioned spas is that you can relax to the sound of the waves on the beach and the sea air cooling your skin. They also have chairs on the beach and give you tropical fruits to enjoy.
It sounds extravagant, but I had a Thai full body massage, manicure, foot scrub and pedicure... for the equivalent of about £8. There is a lot of attention to detail, my big toes have never looked this pretty before with each flower painted on with a tiny paintbrush.
Fresh flowers in my hair, selected from those placed on our bed each day.
Being in Krabi makes me feel just like this...
