Baan — Ice Bath, Finnish Sauna & Spa in Bangkok

An ice bath (cold plunge) involves immersing your body in water at 4–8°C for 2–5 minutes. Benefits include reduced muscle inflammation, improved circulation, elevated mood through endorphin release, enhanced immune function, and improved sleep quality. At Baan, our ice bath is maintained at 3–10 °C to provide optimal cold exposure therapy while accommodating users of all experience levels.

Our Finnish-style sauna uses traditional construction, heating to 80–100 °C. A typical session lasts 15–20 minutes — the dry heat promotes deep sweating, muscle relaxation, cardiovascular conditioning, and detoxification. Pouring water over the stones (löyly) creates bursts of steam to intensify the experience.

Contrast therapy alternates between hot (sauna) and cold (ice bath) exposure. This cycling constricts and dilates blood vessels, flushing metabolic waste, boosting circulation, and triggering a powerful hormonal response including norepinephrine and dopamine. The combination produces benefits greater than either therapy alone — a complete physiological reset.

Absolutely. Our ice bath protocol is designed for all levels. Beginners typically start with 1–2 minutes and gradually build tolerance. Our staff will guide you through breathing techniques to manage the cold shock response. We recommend avoiding ice baths if you have uncontrolled cardiovascular conditions — consult your physician if unsure.

A full session at Baan takes approximately 2–3 hours. This includes multiple rounds of our three-step protocol: sauna (15–20 min), ice bath plunge (2–5 min), and garden rest (10–15 min). Most guests complete 3–4 rounds. Your day pass gives you unlimited access during opening hours.

Bring yourself and your swimwear! We provide towels, shower amenities, and all necessary equipment. Wearing swimwear is required for both the sauna and ice bath. We also recommend staying hydrated — water is available throughout the facility. Avoid heavy meals 2 hours before your session for the best experience.
