This June to September, holistic wellness pioneer Chiva-Som Hua Hin invites guests to immerse themselves in wellness with a curated calendar of activities, talks and holistic experiences.

A special monthly evening session on Fall Prevention (available in June and July) offers practical insights to reduce risks of injury as we age.
