There are no crowds, and the spa is removed from the trail of tourists. It is resplendent, exotic and luxurious, and will leave you feeling blessed by the spirit of cuisine and culture.
The Garden will help to dispel stress, and evaporate the mundane aspects of your life. You’ll find
something majestic in the serenity and peacefulness. The accommodation is strictly Thai in their style – white-washed, clean walls framed by natural beams. You’ll see cascading white fabric from the ceilings to the floor level. The interior will provide you with a balance of furnishings and fixtures, but they avoid anything that could be considered excess. Gentle lighting will help to show off the subtleties of the nature areas beyond the walls.
A top Thailand spa will help you to escape the mad crowds and retreat into an area of solace and
peace. You can explore the areas surrounding the spas, and enhance your tranquility with traditional Thai spa treatments or massages. A sensual, anti-stress or body contour massage will help you to reach a state of deep calm.

” Tai Chi ” - the Universe and You
Jan 8th
Tai Chi By Master Mantak Chia
Tao Garden Health Spa & Resort
Just as the universe is an integrated whole, the body is an integrated whole with each part connected to and dependent on the other parts.
Yet as we become adults leading sedentary lives, we often forget to use all parts of our bodies. We depend on head and arms, using our spine, hips and legs only to get us from car to elevator, to swivel chair, where we can use our head and arms again. By restricting our movement, we forget how to move strongly lithely and efficiently.
When we forget how to live fully in our bodies, we overly restrict the way we move and eventually we forget who we really are. Through Daily Tai Chi practice, we can become as children again, without stiffness or tension. We can relearn to move freely and naturally with the whole body connected, both structurally and energetically. In this way, we mirror our connection to the larger whole, as part of the universe. Through Tai Chi we can become fully ourselves.
Tai Chi has nothing to do with the number of moves you learn or the different styles one knows, it is the quality of each movement that counts. Tai Chi forms taught at Tao Garden Health Resort are short and quite simple to learn. This gives for more time to work on the internal aspects (organs and energy) which drive the Tai Chi and drive life. We can discover, through Tai Chi, the mechanisms for connecting our internal with the external universe. For without this, there is no life.

Our approach to healing is kind of maintenance: cleansing the physical from unhealthy stuff which has been accumulated over years and the nonphysical from unhealthy emotions. Taking care for good nutrition and getting the energy in balance.
This comes closer to the the cause of the problems than just treating symptoms.
This way we do not need any drugs and our methods are different form Western medicine.
On the other hand our holistic doctors are also qualified and certified in Western medicine.
They are well prepared to recognice any state that needs western medicine treatment like operations or emergency handling.
