The research was based on quantitative method. Sample was randomly drawn from the spa customers.</p><p>Research results revealed that among the customers, there were more female than male, most of the customers were 25-34 years old, married, monthly income of 20,000-40,000baht, mostly employed in private sector and well educated, with mostly bachelor’s degree. They agreed that spa is useful for health, and it is an integration of folk wisdom and herbal treatment in form of massage, aroma and relaxing music. An analysis of the structural equation modeling found that the subjective norms, perceived behavioral control and customer satisfaction had direct influence on the intention to use spa treatment. Trust influenced on attitude toward spa use and customer satisfaction, but customer satisfaction, intention to use and perceived behavioral control did not significantly influence on actual spa use.</p> ER -
