Hua Hin is my second home. I come here very often because it is not a short drive from Bangkok and it is a mix between nature and convenience. Here, there is a world-renowned wellness resort that has been around since 1995. I passed this place many times but have never been inside. Well, this will be my first time to stay here – CHIVA SOM.
When we talk about wellness, it does not mean only medical treatments, but everything from sports, fitness training, yoga, spa, clean food, to health advice and more. This is a place to truy rejuvenate because mobile phones and cameras are allowed outside your own room. Let’s see if it is too hard to stay away from social media!
For me, this resort of 17 Rais or around almost 7 acres have mixed of architectural style, I feel the Thai Contemporary style and Japanese style. Maybe because of being opened in 1995, rooms and communal spaces are not compact like buildings that have been built by the beach in recent years. So, we will get large space in your room. Public spaces are huge too. I love the tropical gardens which are managed by professionals. I love that it is super clean everywhere. The hygiene standard here is so high, that you will feel super safe staying here, like all guests are requested to wear masks in public areas. Also, a tradition like wearing smart casual dress to dinner is practiced here.
The uniqueness of CHIVA-SOM is that, all guests buy packages with everything included – rooms, all meals, and tailor-made activities to improve your health. They will have the initial session for all guest – a health consultation. And, I will meet my health advisor today. Her name is Khun May, a former nurse.
Now, I know it is not a place to just sleep in your beds – so many great activities to join!
The first activity for today is learning how to breathe! The activity is called ‘Pranayama’. Next is a private physical training (functional training).
Now, this comes to neurac or neuromuscular activation activity. This is a unique treatment rarely found in resort. Neurac uses 3-dimensional suspensions that restore pain-free movement patterns while improving muscle function.
Time to pamper ourselves after the training with nice massages – Shirobhangga and Detox Massage.

the new norms for the hotel businesses are not just only maintaining the high hygiene standards but also the high compliance in observing the standard operating procedures (SOP) including contact tracing, social distancing and no handshakes. otherwise, we will be compounded heavily by the authorities.
Very nice, informative video. I hope I can travel to Thailand again soon! Until then: I'm looking forward to more great films! Stay healthy!
Hotel rate is pretty high though..but what a beautiful resort.
Beautiful resort, looks very relaxing.
I stayed here during the early 2000s, was surprised the room no phone no tv, etc. but the daily doctor checking, massages and therapy exercises was fantastic, when i went out at night i was tempted by the street food after all the vegetarian food in the resort.
I enjoyed the review of your trip. I plan to visit for the first time in October for 5 days. Do you recommend any favorites from your experience? Also, for nearby places in walking distance, what would you recommend?
$1000 a night – unreal.
No.1 resort &spa
We must go and soon!
