Wat Sokpaluang is a famous temple in Vientiane which is famous for its saunas and unique architecture. One of the experiences that you definitely cannot miss when you visit Vientiane, is to relax with traditional massage – an interesting feature of Wat Sokpaluang.
Traditional massage in Laos with a sauna is the best therapy to soothe your body after a long jungle or trekking journey. Mixtures of herbs (or teas) in the sauna are key to the success of this therapy.

After the body was completely relaxed, the skin was stretched and softened by the steam, so we were taken to rest room before moving to the second stage. At this point, everything in the house is simple and rustic, from the wood table to the kettle, the flowers hanging on the patio …, looks like the mountainous homeland in our hometown.
All tourists can have the soothing feeling, not only from the relaxed body, from the eyes of the green garden, the bird’s ear rattles somewhere in the bushes and a slow pace along with the afternoon sunshine is falling down the porch…
Lao massage is quite similar to Thai massage. Travelers are wearing large clothes and acupressure massage staff for you not rub all over the body and massage as other types of massage. The massage staff are intimate and affectionate!
Finishing massage and herbal sauna, tourists will turn back to the winding road of the temple. Back to see the monk are now sweeping leaves in the yard. Many tourists may feel a very strange feeling…
