Cyan Spa
Cyan Spa is one of the prominent beachfront spas in the Bophut area on Koh Samui. The really unique aspect of Cyan Spa is indeed its location. Set in a traditional Thai-style building, the floor-to-ceiling windows at the back of it look out over the calm waters between Bophut Beach and Koh Phangan.
There is an impressive choice of treatments available and, while prices are a little higher than the average for single-hour traditional Thai massages, the skill of the staff and the quality of the facilities do justify it. There are pedicures and manicures available, but the massages are rated as among the best in the area.

- Location: 65/1 Moo 1, Fisherman’s Village, Bophut, Koh Samui, Surat Thani 84320, Thailand

Thai tattoos in Bophut
There are many tattoo studios on Samui offering work of varying quality. Although most tend to offer reasonable standards of health and hygiene, it's worthwhile making a thorough (sober) assessment of the studio before going under the needle.
Thailand's infamous monk's tattoos, which supposedly give the recipient magical powers, are available occasionally at Big Buddha temple. Even so, reports suggest that there are a number of health risks associated with this practice, so extreme caution should be exercised.
