In today's modern, technology-driven society, too much screen time can lead to tight, knotted muscles - particularly in the neck, back and shoulders. This digital dependence could be part of the driving force behind the phenomenally successful Smile Thai Wellness, a popular downtown Vancouver spa that has earned several awards for its traditional Thai massage treatments and other relaxation services.
What started in 2007 as a one-man operation by founder Austin Sakchai has since morphed into a full-service spa centre. The Robson Street spa boasts 14 treatment rooms (including five couples’ rooms) and a dedicated staff of spa therapists, registered massage therapists, and aestheticians.
