Temperatures are rising, the humidity is increasing – it’s officially summer in Thailand. Here are a few unique ways to escape the heat and keep cool this summer.
It’s that time of the year when temperatures are rising and we are escaping the heat. It’s officially summer in the Thailand. Although this is nothing new per se and locals are certainly no stranger to the scorching heat, we’re always open to finding new ways to keep cool. As a guide on how to escape the heat, here are five ways to help you stay refreshed this summer.
Cryotherapy at RAKxa
‘Sauna’ in this case does not refer to a confined space designed as a venue to experience heat sessions. On the contrary, Cryo Sauna Therapy, also referred to as Cold Therapy or Cryotherapy, offers the exact opposite experience. This is a treatment designed to bring the body temperature down at the tissue and cellular level, and as a result, bring beneficial physiological changes and therapeutic effects into the body. Thereby, it assuredly is a method of cooling down, and RAKxa on Bang Krachao offers a ‘Cryo Sauna Therapy’ as part of their wellness services. The most interesting and technical way to cool down in the summer.

The newly-opened bar coalesces a New York hangout with the spirit of late-night Chinatown Bangkok on the top floors of the beautiful Sino-Portugues building, and serves a plethora of bespoke libations. When at Opium Bar this summer, look out for the ‘Snow Ti Punch.’ The sugarcane shaved ice is designed to cool you down, while the combination of Issan Rhum Agricole and lime are sure to wake you right up.
