We’re delighted to share that Boss Hunting, a respected Australian lifestyle publication, recently published an in-depth review of RXV Wellness Village Thailand titled “This Thai Wellness Retreat Fixed My Back (And My Burnout)”. In the article, writer Jack Slade offers a candid, experiential take on his journey from fatigue and tension to tangible relief, and how RXV’s approach blends diagnostic rigor with healing presence.
What Jack Slade Experienced & Valued
1. From Burnout to Restoration
Slade begins by recounting how he arrived at RXV deeply depleted — “running on caffeine and adrenaline” after a grueling year. The pre-arrival wellness consultation, he says, brought clarity: the retreat would have to address more than surface-level relaxation. Instead, the aim would be to restore structural balance, nervous system health, and inner calm.
2. Substance Over Style
One of his strongest takeaways: RXV isn’t about superficial aesthetics or Instagram-ready facades. He describes it as “a serious medical wellness facility disguised as a modest Thai resort.” The impression is of quiet, effective healing: clinical tools, holistic modalities, and a guest journey that adapts day by day.
3. Diagnostics & Treatment Breadth
Slade outlines how RXV begins with precise diagnostics — including posture/spine analysis and body composition scanning — to guide a personalized protocol. From there, he experienced the retreat’s hydrotherapy circuit, cryotherapy, IV infusions, acupuncture, and sound healing, among others. The hydrotherapy “bathhouse complex,” in particular, stood out for its design, variety, and contrast techniques (e.g. oxygen baths, saunas, contrast showers) that induced deep relaxation.
4. Accommodations & Aesthetic
Slade notes that the rooms themselves are “unremarkable” in decor, perhaps not the main draw, but functional and fuss-free. He says that after sleeping deeply, he ceased caring about luxury linens and instead appreciated the basics: clean rooms, strong air conditioning, and balconies facing the river. This commentary underscores RXV’s focus — that your body’s transformation is where the investment lies.
5. Food That Nourishes & Delights
He praised RXV’s “rainbow cooking” philosophy, calling the meals both nourishing and flavorful. He enjoyed classics like pomelo salad, Tom Kha, and river prawns, all served with mindful intent and without rigid restrictions. He appreciated that wellness doesn’t demand deprivation at RXV, but balance.
6. Staff, Care & Personalisation
What resonated deeply was the warmth, precision, and synchronicity of the RXV team. Slade says clinicians, wellness practitioners, support staff — all moved in concert, adapting the guest’s path in real time. He highlights how they delivered “hard truths” about one’s health but did so with care, humility, and respect.
7. Location & Accessibility
RXV is located in Suan Sampran, by the Tha Chin River, in Nakhon Pathom province — a peaceful, green 50-acre estate about a 90-minute drive from Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport. Slade notes the benefit: far enough to detach from city stress, but close enough for ease of access.
