Check in, check up

If you’ve been looking to hop on the health-while-on-holiday trend, the Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort makes it easy. Last year, the five-star hotel became home to the BDMS Wellness Clinic Retreat, an outpost of Bangkok Dusit Medical Services, one of Thailand’s largest medical tourism providers. There’s a range of medical and wellness programmes, from diagnostic checks to aesthetic treatments, which all take place in comfortable spa-like surroundings. The Health Check Up package includes accommodation, nutritionist-approved meals, and wellness checks covering hormones, cardiovascular health, blood sugar, and liver and renal functions. Add extras, like a genetic analysis or cancer screening – and for longer stays, opt for a wellness retreat focusing on weight loss and detox, or rejuvenate with a facial or massage.
