Thai Lanna Spa

Lanna Kingdom has a long history of more than 700 years. It has its own unique language and strong cultural identities. In the past the Kingdom’s territory included some parts Burma, Laos and southern China. Some northern provinces only joined Thailand just over 100 years ago. Joining Thailand did not cause its own unique culture to fade away, but instead the valuable traditions and culture have been carried on until today. Due to the elegant beauty of Lanna culture, some western historians described Lanna culture as an interesting movement of aesthetics. Therefore the challenging task of creating “Thai Lanna Spa” is how to apply the aesthetic identities of Lanna to the utility of the spa industry, while still adhering to fashionable trends.

The spa industry is health and beauty services that use mainly natural products such as herbs, hot spring water, etc... They create relaxation and holistic health treatments which maintain or restore mental, physical and spiritual health. Holistic methods are applied with local culture and knowledge as an alternative medication for healing. In order to build up trust in customers a combination of modern medication within these services is necessary. Spa costumers are people who are looking for ways to balance their body, mind and soul. They want to experience the historical culture of the place through all their sense.
