If you’ve ever dipped your feet into a warm pool and suddenly felt a tickling sensation — followed by uncontrollable giggles — then you might have already tried one of Thailand’s quirkiest wellness experiences: the fish spa.
🌿 What Is a Fish Spa?
A fish spa (or “Doctor Fish treatment”) involves dipping your feet into a shallow tank filled with tiny freshwater fish called Garra Rufa.
These little creatures gently nibble away dead skin, leaving your feet soft, smooth, and surprisingly rejuvenated.
They’re not biting — they’re kissing, in their own fishy way.
🐟 My Fish Spa Journey: From Bangkok to Phuket (With a Stop in Khon Kaen)
I still remember the first time I tried a fish spa.
It was in Bangkok, long ago — back when the idea felt new, strange, and a little funny.
Later, I did it again at home in Khon Kaen, where the fish tank sat right in a friend’s garden!
Then, 10+ years passed.
I’d almost forgotten the sensation… until I recently tried it again in Phuket.
And guess what?
It was still just as ticklish as ever! 😅
I had to concentrate hard not to jerk my foot away — afraid I’d startle the poor fish to death.
But once I relaxed, it was surprisingly soothing.
✨ Why You Should Try It
