Sore muscles? 3 spas offering cannabis-infused treatments in Thailand to soothe your aching body
Cannabidiol, or CBD, will be banned in Hong Kong from February. But those who want to try, or revisit, CBD massages can indulge next time they are in Thailand, where cannabis is now legal for medical use.
Cannabis oil has anti-inflammatory and pain-reducing properties.
Here are three Bangkok spas offering cannabis-infused treatments to help you relax or soothe aching muscles.
Anantara Siam Bangkok
The Anantara Spa offers three types of CBD treatment. The 90-minute Restful Slumber Journey for those who are jet-lagged or sleep-deprived includes a cannabis-oil salt bath followed by a CBD-oil-infused massage.
The Cannabis Stress-Release Journey is geared towards those with muscle pain, and the Head to Toe Calming Journey uses cannabis oils and balms to work on your head and feet. Guests are served CBD tea at the beginning and end of the treatments.

This is followed by a rhythmic massage to encourage circulation for the whole body through holistic tension-relieving techniques that work on tense muscles and knots.
Mandarin Oriental Bangkok
The Oriental Spa offers a two-hour Cannabis Relax and Restore Massage, a treatment that focuses on cannabinoids and their health benefits, such as relieving muscle fatigue and promoting a state of relaxation.
CBD is used in almost every element of the treatment, from the massage oil and the inhaler, to the poultice and warm tea.
