THE PROCESS
A complete therapeutic process.
This is not just a massage. It’s a structured process that works deeper, using touch, heat, and medicinal plants.
Deep work on the body
Pressure is applied to what your body can take. Some areas can be intense — this is often where tension stays.
Herbal steam to open the body
After the massage, heat and medicinal plants help the body release. The body starts to soften, and what was tense begins to loosen.
Herbal bath to settle everything
Warm water, infused with herbs. The intensity fades. The body slows down. You can finally let go.

A place with its
own rhythm
The space is quiet, surrounded by plants, trees, and natural sounds. Some guests notice Espresso and Meo Meo, the resident dog and cat, moving freely in the garden. All products used during the session are made in-house, using natural ingredients.

About Sra Thnam
Sra Thnam is rooted in traditional Khmer healing practices.
It was developed by Kim Chun, after learning directly from Kru Khmer and working hands-on with traditional techniques and herbal medicine.
Today, this approach is shared with a small team, trained to work with the same attention, precision, and understanding of the body.
Each session follows the same principle: listen to the body, and work where the body holds tension.
