Most of the beauty treatments in Phuket and probably around Thailand is very cheap for a european traveller. A manicure and pedicure, with all kind of nail art you can imagine, costs around 300bath (7€).
To experience some true thai culture, you have to visit a thai sauna. For 70bath (1,50€), you will have access to a herby, steamy and hot sauna, showers and an icy bathtub. If you have the guts, you can try the thai massage and experience how it feels when strong women walk all over you, and yes, it hurts. I chose the oily massage, which was interesting. A typical massage with a few strange things. Pulling my toes, massaging my behind, pulling my hair and so on. The funny thing was, the owner was lying next to me and got his daily three hour thai massage treatment.
In general, what I have experienced so far on this trip, I have to say that thai people has been the most helpful and polite. Such open and friendly people is hard to find. I'm very pleased with my stay in Phuket and Thailand. A great and big thanks to Taru that organized everything for me and took me all over the city!
