As of 1 October 2022, the Thai Government has lifted all preventative measures for COVID-19 across the country. However it is advisable for travelers to take care of themselves.

• Guest Consultation Form: Prior to arrival, all guests will still be sent an online consultation form to complete in order to expedite the check-in process.
• Face masks: Staff are no longer required to wear face masks, however staff can choose to wear face masks if they are in close contact with our guests, such as during spa treatments. If any guests or staff feel unwell, we ask that you wear a face mask. Guests can ask for a complimentary disposable face mask from our reception.
• Rapid Antigen Test Kits: If guests experience any COVID-19 related symptoms and would like to test to check for COVID, you may request a maximum of two sets of complimentary ATK from our reception. Additional ATKs can be purchased from our office.
• Wellness Classes: All guests are required to book our wellness class in advance with our Reception, so the teachers can prepare and setup the class accordingly. If you have booked under our retreat package, you will be automatically enrolled into the wellness classes included in your package. Cancellation charge applies to all classes if guests cancel after 5pm of the day before or no-show (100% of class price is charged).
• Spa wet facilities: All guests are asked to reserve in advance for using our spa wet facilities (mineral bath and herbal steam). The maximum time of each session is 45 minutes. Currently the spa wet facilities can be booked privately for individual guests.

For any inquiries and assistance, feel free to contact us here

Since COVID-19 is still a contagious disease that can spread to others easily, and some countries still have stricter traveling restrictions than Thailand, we ask our guests to follow the below protocol during your stay at Museflower Retreat & Spa should you be tested positive for COVID-19 during your stay, in order to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 to our other guests and staff.

When Symptoms Arise

When guests experience any of the following symptoms, such as cough, fever, tiredness, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, headache, and have been in recent contact with any COVID-19 patients, we ask the guests to please:

• Inform our Reception immediately

For any used spa, wellness sessions and transfer, we will charge them at a la carte prices.

Contacting Reception:

Our Reception team will check in with you when the meals are served three times a day. You can also text or call our Reception phone at +66-(0)93-137-0414 for additional assistance, and visit our Reception during 9am – 9pm (please make sure to wear a face mask).

When the Test Result Becomes Negative

When the guest recovers and the first rapid test result shows negative, the guest can resume all normal activities, include using all our facilities and entering guest areas without face mask. However, we recommend guest to repeat a second rapid test at a different time (in another 6 hours), to make sure your result stays negative.

Please be sure to inform our Reception team when your test result is negative.
