Chiva-Som International Health Resort is a world-renowned destination on the serene shores of Hua Hin, Thailand. The founder of Chiva-Som, Boonchu Rojanastien, was the Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand before establishing the resort in 1995. Today, the resort is run by his son Krip Rojanstien, now the group Chairman & CEO. Chiva-Som is known for luxury, wellness, and transformation, and its name, "Chiva-Som," translates to "Haven of Life" in Thai, which aptly describes this sanctuary dedicated to revitalising the mind, body, and spirit. Recently, the resort extended its expertise to the Middle East by creating Zulal Wellness Resort by ChivaSom. Zulal is the region's first and only wellness resort dedicated to Traditional Arabic and Islamic Medicine (TAIM), and it offers a unique oasis for those seeking holistic rejuvenation and relaxation. Chiva-Som's philosophy is rooted in the belief that optimal health encompasses physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The resort offers a harmonious blend of traditional Thai hospitality and cutting-edge medical expertise, catering to guests seeking profound wellness experiences.
During an exclusive interview, Krip Rojanstien discussed Genomics and the concept of Family Wellness, two of their latest practices in the holistic wellness space. Here is an excerpt from this detailed and enlightening chat.
