Unusual menu includes items such as clay shakes and shots of wheatgrass
KOH PHANGAN, Thailand - A Thailand trip normally means cold cocktails on the beach and spicy Thai noodles, but for growing numbers of "detox" tourists, the menu calls for clay shakes and shots of wheatgrass.
At a "wellness center" on Koh Phangan Island in the Gulf of Thailand, travelers pay hundreds of dollars to abstain from food, coffee and alcohol and receive daily colonic flushes.
