Long-stay in Thailand Linked to the health-and-holiday
concept is the promotion of long-stay visitors, with is mainly
targeted at getting retirees from countries that have harsh
winters and a higher cost of living to stay for extended periods
in Thailand, where it is both warmer and less expensive.
 Thailand
owes much of its international popularity to the remarkable
variety of its natural attractions. On offer is a tremendous
choice of settings – blissful beaches and islands, rugged hills
and jungles, teaming rivers and waterfalls.
Now a related product of this diverse environment, the country's
rich natural healing heritage has started to attract a new generation
of discerning tourists. With the increasing international popularity
of health centred holidays, Thailand is pushing to the fore
its world-renowned traditional massage, herbal steam baths,
healing arts,
meditation, aromatherapy, yoga, acupuncture, cookery and beauty
treatments, as will as an ever-expanding selection of world-class
spas.
Longer stays are the order of the day as visitors seek not just
to experience these healthy ways fleetingly but to absorb maximum
benefits over an extended period, while at the same time experiencing
the country's history and culture at a deeper level. Once the
process of rejuvenation and enlightenment starts to bear fruit,
the logic of making this choice becomes beautifully apparent
and quite irresistible.
