A touch of Thai in the Canadian winter

Unplug from the frenetic pace of city life by visiting Echo Valley Ranch & Spa this winter

It’s a little bit country and a whole lot of Thai at Norm and Nan Dove’s 160-acre ranch three hours outside of Kamloops, BC. East and West meet in the architecture, food and, most prominently, in the Thai spa treatments. Visit a pagoda-like cedar-and-teak Baan Thai complex designed by the architect to the Thai royal family. The upper-level Sabai Sabai spa suite houses several rooms filled with teak carvings, silk Thai tapestries and aromatic oils that scent the air. Melt into a zone of relaxation that verges on sleep with the authentic Luk Pra Kob treatment, a 90-minute herbal rejuvenation massage where your trained Thai masseuse presses a heated muslin sack filled with ginger, lemongrass, essential oils and other herbs along your body to soothe sore muscles. The resort also offers guests traditional Ruesri dat ton Thai yoga classes at the start of every day. (800-253-8831)
