Thai medical herbal sauna

Today is the public holiday for celebrating The Malaysia Day. It was a raining day but not too heavy.

I went to Wat Rajchaphohong, Ara Kuda, Kedah with my wife. This temple is clean and beautiful and has a very wide compound.

When you enter from the main door of this temple, please look to the far end of the left hand side, the Thai medical herbal sauna area is there, as the above picture. The Thai medical herbal sauna in this temple open at 10.00am to 8.00pm. It will only close on every wednesday.

It is for medical purpose where many kinds of herbs had been boiled. There is a fragant herbal steam inside the sauna room. At the back there are two big woks and also a lot of woods which use for the boiling of herbs to get the herb steam. Currently, there are two sauna rooms for the public usage, one for men and another for women. Every Wednesday, they will change the new herbs.

You can go into the sauna room with T shirt and short pant for men and women. Men can took out theirs' shirt. Women can wear the 'sarung' too. Do not forget to bring the big towel, it is easy to wipe of the heavy sweat after sauna.

There are two kettles at the beverage area. Before sauna we are advice to drink the herbal tea first. When you finish and before going back, please do not forget to take the ginger tea.

Last but not lease, please do donate some money into the donation box. The effort to prepare the medical sauna for us, boil the herbal tea and ginger tea; toilet cleaning and much more.....actually need to be friendly recognized !
