Chiva-Som International Health Resort begins 2026 reaffirming its dedication to Thailand’s cultural and healing heritage. The resort’s wellness philosophy for the year is rooted in Traditional Thai Medicine (TTM), a holistic system spanning more than 2,500 years that emphasizes harmony between body, mind, and environment.
TTM has been a cornerstone of Chiva-Som Hua Hin since its opening in 1995. Time-honoured treatments—such as therapeutic bodywork, movement practices, and herbal remedies—are delivered by certified TTM practitioners, reflecting the resort’s commitment to integrative health, personalized wellness, and responsible, sustainable practices.
“As we welcome 2026, we honour the wisdom of Traditional Thai Medicine not only through our therapies, but by inviting guests to reconnect with nature, rhythm, and balance in daily life,” said Vaipanya Kongkwanyuen, General Manager of Chiva-Som Hua Hin. “By blending these time-honoured practices with modern wellness, we continue nurturing mindfulness and sustainable wellbeing for both people and the planet.”
The resort’s 2026 wellness program is inspired by TTM’s Four Elements (Dhatu)—Fire, Wind, Water, and Earth—with each element guiding a quarterly theme of treatments, activities, nutrition, and cultural experiences:
-
Fire (January–March): Focus on metabolic energy, vitality, and emotional clarity, featuring Metabolic Breathing, Aqua Box, Neuromuscular Exercises, Thai Massage, and Fire-inspired rituals such as Floating Flower with Candle.
-
Wind (April–June): Emphasizes breath, energy circulation, and mental clarity.
-
Water (July–September): Centers on hydration, fluid balance, and organ function.
-
Earth (October–December): Supports physical strength, resilience, and stability.
Guests can also enjoy complimentary bi-weekly “Thai Wisdom for Element Balance” sessions with Senior TTM Practitioner Chananchida Banyeam, as well as specially designed wellness cuisine meals that align with each element’s benefits.
