Chiva-Som Hua Hin in Thailand combines celebration and restorative healing for the upcoming festive season, the perfect opportunity to renew the mind, body, and spirit for 2024. As the cool season descends on Thailand, the seaside destination of Hua Hin is at its most beautiful, with sunny days blessed by invigorating breezes, and the anticipation of festivities in the air. Chiva-Som’s celebrations this year will be a simple yet joyful affair, delivering a time of healthy balance, instead of what is typically a time of overindulgence.
On Christmas Eve, guests will enjoy a wholesome Christmas feast, complemented by the sweet carol singing of local children. Then on New Year’s Eve, 1960s-themed Peace & Love will reign supreme, as a dinner banquet is followed by dancing and a front seat to Hua Hin’s beach at midnight.
On 1st January, the journey continues with a ‘loving kindness’ meditation session with metta healer David Stojanovic. By taking the time to still the mind and bestow loving kindness on both oneself and others, guests can free themselves from the negative while welcoming the positive.
Guests are also invited to make merit on New Year’s Day in traditional Thai style, offering alms to Buddhist monks on their morning rounds along the beach.
