Chiva-Som Hua Hin, Thailand, and Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som, Qatar, celebrated the 14th annual Global Wellness Day on 14th June 2025, reinforcing its commitment to wellness with a purpose. This annual event, dedicated to promoting wellness and encouraging individuals to adopt healthier lifestyles, aligns perfectly with Chiva-Som’s belief that wellness must go hand in hand with sustainability, uniting its guests and staff in celebrations through curated activities that empower communities and nurture our environment.
The Chiva-Som Hua Hin team, led by Executive Assistant Manager & Wellness Director Chanyapak Suwankantha and joined by Belgin Aksoy, founder of Global Wellness Day and a Friend of Chiva-Som, held their annual medical mission aimed at supporting the local community of a remote Karen Hilltribe Community village in Hua Hin, who lack access to public healthcare and are residing in remote areas with very limited transport connectivity. This occasion marked Belgin’s fourth consecutive partnership with Chiva-Som’s annual medical mission. The mission offered free health checks and basic medical care, initial treatment and first aid, including physiotherapy, Thai therapeutic massage and Chinese acupuncture. It also included recreational activities for child development and education in hygiene, sanitation, and basic livelihood skills.
For over 10 years, Chiva-Som has continuously organised CSR Medical Missions, becoming a model for global audiences. Its partnership with Global Wellness Day, which consists of over 111 ambassadors and 2 advisors worldwide, has further amplified the impact in its goal to improve the health and wellbeing of underserved communities in a holistic way. Currently, one Chiva-Som representative serves as one of only 111 global ambassadors across seven continents, inspiring millions worldwide.
Extending the same support and enthusiasm to the movement, Chiva-Som’s sister resort, Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som in Qatar, came together to celebrate Global Wellness Day by engaging wellness activities for the staff. With the vision to support better health for all, Zulal Wellness Resort marked the day with a vibrant lineup of Zumba and Yoga sessions, Wellness Talk, Bicycling and swimming competitions, and a Physio-Ergonomics & Postural Corrective Session designed to inspire mindful living amongst its team members.
