Chaya Wellness
Chaya Wellness is a dedicated health and wellness centre on the island of Koh Phangan, part of the Surat Thani province in southern Thailand. The island is widely known as a destination for those seeking a more mindful, restorative travel experience, and Chaya fits naturally into that landscape, drawing visitors who want to complement beach life with genuine wellness practices. Guests can expect a focused, intentional atmosphere with an emphasis on personal wellbeing. As a health club and wellness space, Chaya caters to those looking to go beyond a standard spa visit, offering a setting where the experience feels considered rather than commercial. The consistently strong visitor feedback points to a place that takes its practice seriously and delivers results that resonate with its clientele. Chaya Wellness is open six days a week, Tuesday through Sunday from 10:30 to 18:00, and is closed on Sundays. Given the relatively compact daily schedule and the popularity of wellness services on Koh Phangan, booking ahead is strongly recommended, particularly during peak tourist seasons around the full moon period and the dry season months of December through April. Visitors are advised to check the website or contact the centre directly before arriving to confirm availability and any specific requirements for their chosen treatment or session.

Tips for Visiting Wellness & Spas
Learn Wat Pho First
Wat Pho in Bangkok is the birthplace of traditional Thai massage education. Their on-site massage pavilion offers excellent treatments from students and graduates at reasonable prices — and you know the technique is authentic.
Communicate Pressure Preferences
Thai massage can be intense. Say 'bao bao' for lighter pressure or 'nак nак' for harder. A good therapist will check in, but don't hesitate to speak up — suffering in silence defeats the purpose.
Book Longer Sessions
A 60-minute massage is fine, but 90 or 120 minutes allows the therapist to work thoroughly. The price difference is often only 200–400 THB for an extra hour — worth it for a deeper, more relaxing experience.
