The air smells faintly of lemongrass and steamed herbs as you step off the shaded street into a quiet treatment room in Bophut. Light filters through bamboo blinds, and a warm compress—wrapped in muslin and steamed until fragrant—waits on a wooden tray. The compress's heat invites you to loosen; the therapist's hands follow, firm and methodical, alternating compress pressure with traditional Thai stretches that pull and release tension like tides.
