Wellness to the power of four in Thailand: I left with a better understanding of myself

Few wellness retreats successfully combine as many approaches to longevity as RAKxa. Set on the protected island of Bang Krachao — often called Bangkok’s “green lung” — this luxury retreat combines cutting-edge diagnostics with traditional Thai, Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, all under one roof. Rather than choosing between modern medicine and ancient healing, its philosophy is that each discipline has something valuable to contribute, with every programme tailored to guests’ individual needs.

Fusing science and spirituality is no easy feat. Fellow guests check in for all manner of issues, from stress recovery and burnout to preventative health, weight management or longevity — and the treatments are as diverse as the goals.
