Question
Are there bathhouses and saunas in Phuket?
Insider's Response
Yes! We have a dedicated section on our website called Saunas, where we cover exactly that.
Even though Phuket is hot, saunas and steam baths are quite popular here. To better handle the heat, you can cool down afterward in a swimming pool or an ice bath. These temperature contrasts are beneficial for your health, as long as there are no medical contraindications. In some places, a massage follows the sauna session — and it’s especially effective on warmed-up muscles.
