Chiva-Som
Located beachside in Hua Hin, Thailand, on the country's western coast, Chiva-Som International Health Resort is a holistic sanctuary with an emphasis on integrative medicine. In addition to the resort's usual range of spa treatments, physiotherapy for injury rehabilitation is offered. Unique to Chiva-Som is the use of diagnostic techniques such as iridology, live blood analysis, bio-terrain testing and electro-dermal screening — tools that can often identify issues orthodox medicine may have missed. At the retreat's Niranlada Medi-Spa, you'll also find a staff of qualified U.S. doctors, nurses, naturopaths, therapists and specialist consultants — meaning you can get your botox injections, thermage treatments and facial resurfacing, no problem.
