my favorite item on menu w/ coconut meat inside!

Rasayana’s café serves up the only raw/living food in Bangkok that I know of. Once you enter the beautiful property you forget that you are in Bangkok. I was amazed that the organic, plant based meals cost no more then I usually pay for local Thai meals.  They even have a variety of raw snacks you can purchase to take home.

clean them out everytime

I selected the Rasayana meridian abdominal massage and a colonic from their service menu. Both services were very effective and made comfortable. For the colonic, they added coffee, milk thistle, aerobic oxygen and red clover. They are in need of an English speaking therapist, especially for those getting a colonic for the first time.  The information on their website is outdated, the Bangplee location is close, and pictures would also be useful.

Bonus: you get a coconut kefir shot after your colonic and ginger/lemon tea after meals.

Thai Massage

Health Land

5 locations in Bangkok

massage = medicine

If you are looking for a traditional Thai massage you can usually walk out of your guesthouse door and have many to choose from.   I’ve had some of the best Thai massages at Health Land. They offer many services to choose from at great value in a nice, clean environment. It’s somewhat of a factory but reliable, if you like your therapist remember their number.
