Creating a real splash, Sampuoton Fish Spa is the only spa in Malaysia that offers the full body treatment for guests by allowing them to plunge into a pool of garra rufa fish. These tiny carps that thrive in warm water which doesn’t support many plant or aquatic life have learned to feed on whatever food sources available – including dead, flaking skin. The tiny toothless fish nibble away leaving live skin alone because without teeth, they cannot bite! GLENN GUAN/The Star
