RAKxa Longevity Programme: Tests, Therapies and What You Leave With

Longevity has become the most overused word in wellness. Very few places can show you, in detail, what it actually involves.

On the protected, jungle-clad island of Bang Krachao, a short drive from Bangkok, RAKxa Integrative Wellness answers that question with unusual clarity. Its Integrative Longevity programme begins with measurement: biological age, hormones, micronutrients, metals and fitness. It then builds a week of Thai, Chinese and Ayurvedic therapies, modern medicine and movement around what the numbers reveal. The result is neither a spa break nor a clinic stay, but something rarer: a plan you can take home.

This guide walks through the programme as our wellness advisors know it. It covers the tests you will take, the therapies you will receive, the setting and the value, and above all what you leave with when the week ends. Details are drawn from the retreat's own programme and our first-hand experience, and what you receive is always guided by your doctor.

What Does the RAKxa Integrative Longevity Programme Include?

It is a 7- or 10-night programme that combines advanced lab diagnostics with Traditional Thai, Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. You begin with an anti-ageing doctor consultation, a functional fitness assessment and lab packages covering blood age, hormones, micronutrients, toxic metals and food intolerance. You then receive therapies such as acupuncture and cupping, a Thai herbal detox treatment, hyperbaric oxygen, antioxidant IV therapy, cryo sauna and light therapy. You leave with your results, a personalised plan and a tailored supplement formula. See the full RAKxa Integrative Longevity programme.

Key Takeaways

• It starts with data. A blood age test, hormone panel, micronutrient panel, toxic metal screening and food intolerance test shape the week.
• It blends East and West. Medical diagnostics sit alongside Thai, Chinese and Ayurvedic therapies and energy medicine.
• Fitness is measured, not guessed. A functional fitness assessment evaluates six areas, from strength to cardiovascular capacity.
• Seven or ten nights. The longer stay adds depth, and prices vary by season.
• You leave with a plan. Your results, a personalised supplement formula and an exercise and nutrition roadmap come home with you.
• Each treatment is guided by your doctor. The medical team decides what suits you.
• Healing Holidays can tailor the experience and add optional packages at no extra cost.

The Setting: Bangkok's Green Lung

RAKxa sits on Bang Krachao, a protected island of forest and waterways across the river from Bangkok. It is about an hour from both Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports, yet feels worlds away from the city. Guests stay in garden villas, with pool villa upgrades available, and have access to a hydrotherapy area, including a vitality pool, cold plunge pool, steam room and sauna.

The programme is delivered by an interdisciplinary team. On average, seven specialists and staff care for each guest. The philosophy is "wholeness": a state of balance between body, mind and lifestyle, built on five pillars of health: exercise, nutrition, rest, stress management and restorative treatment.

The Tests: Understanding Your Starting Point

The programme begins with a structured set of consultations and assessments. Together they form a baseline you can track over time.

Why this matters: each result directs the week. A low micronutrient level shapes your supplement formula. A food intolerance changes the menu. A functional weakness informs your corrective exercise. This is where the programme becomes personal.

The Therapies: A Week of Integrative Care

Over seven nights, the programme combines treatments from several traditions. Exact sessions are confirmed with your doctor.

Traditional Thai Medicine

• Thai Yao Pao detoxification therapy (80 min): a traditional abdominal massage followed by herbal heat on the abdomen, to support circulation, lymphatic flow and relief from bloating.
• Thai skin clarifying therapy (80 min): a gentle herbal exfoliation recommended for dull or dry skin affected by pollution, lifestyle or ageing.

Traditional Chinese Medicine

• Acupuncture and cupping (80 min): an initial session to support circulation and balance.
• Yin-Yang rebalance (80 min): a herbal foot bath, gua sha on the face, neck and shoulders and a facial treatment to ease tension and support circulation.

Modern Longevity Medicine

• Hyperbaric oxygen session (45 min): you rest in a pressurised chamber so your lungs take in more oxygen than usual.
• Antioxidant boost-up IV (60 min): antioxidants, vitamins and minerals delivered directly into the bloodstream, subject to your doctor's advice.
• Weber IV laser therapy (60 min): low-level laser light delivered through a fine IV fibre, used to support cellular energy, if suitable for you.
• Cryo sauna (3 min): whole-body cooling to support energy and recovery after exercise.
• Whole-body light therapy (20 min): red and near-infrared light to support skin health, muscle recovery and circulation.

Energy and Mind

• Personalised energy medicine treatment (80 min): energy healing, sound therapy and crystal work for a sense of balance and calm.
• Pranayama or mindfulness meditation (50 min): guided breathing practice for focus and calm.

Movement and Bodywork

• Personal corrective exercise (50 min): a one-to-one session to reduce pain or regain function after injury, illness or surgery.
• Private Tai Chi or yoga (50 min) and private suspension session (50 min).
• Deep tissue massage (50 min), RAKxa relaxing massage (50 min) and manual lymphatic drainage massage (80 min).
• Daily group sessions: up to four complimentary classes per night stay, such as yoga flow, singing bowl meditation, HIIT, Tai Chi and aqua aerobics.

Nutrition

Meals are built around four pillars: anti-inflammatory, synbiotic, organic and seasonal. Breakfast is à la carte, with Western and Thai options. A dedicated detox menu is available in four levels, from solid to pure liquid, for guests who choose it, subject to medical advice.

What You Leave With

The best measure of a longevity retreat is what remains after you have left. At RAKxa, you leave with:

1. Your results. A baseline of biological age, hormones, micronutrients, metals and food intolerances, which you can use as a reference and repeat over time.
2. A personalised supplement formula. A blend of vitamins, minerals and nutrients created by the team from your lab results, lifestyle and goals.
3. A tailored movement plan. Insights from your functional fitness assessment and corrective exercise session, so you know where to focus.
4. Nutrition guidance. An understanding of what suits your body, informed by your food intolerance results and the retreat's anti-inflammatory approach.
5. Practices you can repeat. Breathwork, meditation and Tai Chi or yoga sessions you can keep up at home.
6. A clear next step. Follow-up consultations, if recommended, and the option to return and repeat the tests to track change.
