I met someone a few weeks ago who had gone to a place in Thailand that offers spa services, but he had gone to "clean out his system" and didn't eat for a week. Does anyone know where that is?? I don't remember the name but I want to go. Any help is appreciated.

Ginny <BR>Indeed, there is such a place called "Shiva-Srom", meaning the place for life. I know it is somewhere in Cha-am or Hua Hin which is not too far from bangkok, easy accessible by road, and trains. <BR>That's all i know, hope it is a bit helpful.

Ginny - <BR> <BR>The spa mentioned above has a website. <BR> <BR>www.chivasom.net <BR> <BR>I checked into them myself last year before we went to Thailand. I ended up just doing a "day spa" thing at the Oriental. One day I'd like to do a weekend package there. It looks great. When I was checking they had weekend deals for about $650. <BR> <BR>Let me know if you have any questions about BKK. We spent most of our time there and I may be able to help if you plan on spending some time there as well. <BR> <BR>Lynn <BR> <BR <BR> <BR>

It's probably the 'Chiva-Som' in Hua Hin. I have seen from outside and looks magnificent, also good write-ups at various sites on the net. Apparently movie stars etc use it for a total 'clean-up' so to speak!
