In January 2014, Kiyora Spa opened its doors in Chiang Mai’s vibrant Chang Moi district, blending Northern Thai-Lanna healing traditions with mindful wellness practices to create a true sanctuary for body, mind, and spirit.
Co-founded by Emmy Suwunnakul, the spa was envisioned as a serene escape nestled within a restored teakwood manor between Tha Pae Gate and the Night Bazaar—an urban oasis offering deeply personal, professional care amid the city’s lively energy.
At the heart of Kiyora’s philosophy lies Traditional Thai Medicine, harmoniously woven with Ayurvedic wisdom, herbal knowledge, and subtle energy work; not to follow trends, but to offer authentic, transformative healing that honours both heritage and individual need.
UNIQUE SERVICE OFFERS
Over the past decade, we’ve crafted signature experiences you won’t find elsewhere in Chiang Mai—each designed for a specific intention, performed in your private suite, and rooted in real therapeutic value.
We specialise in:
* Postpartum & Prenatal Care: Gentle, expert-led support for new and expecting mums—from Thai Salt Pot Therapy to Vata-balancing massage.
* Thai-Ayurvedic Fusion: Treatments like Thai-Ayuverda Glow Facial, Thai-Fusion Aroma Massage and Herbal Scalp Revival blend Northern Thai herbs with Ayurvedic principles for deep balance.
* Family Wellness: Gentle, nurturing treatments for children aged 4–14, developed through over 100 sessions with young guests.
* Herbal Immersion: From Hot & Cold Herbal Compress Facials to body scrubs and wraps, we use only pure, plant-based ingredients: plai, turmeric, lemongrass, green tea, spirulina, jasmine rice, rose, coffee, cocoa, and coconut—never synthetic.
Our signature Amora massage oil is blended in-house with essential oils sourced directly from local Chiang Mai farmers, honouring both purity and community.
* Energy & Crystal Rituals: Our Chakra Purification Journey and Grounding Crystal Sessions use ethically sourced stones, breathwork, and sound to clear stagnation and restore flow.
All experiences are held in private suites. No shared spaces, no waiting rooms… just you, your intention, and expert hands.
