Siam Spa Health & Beauty Academy | Spa and Massage Training in Chiang Mai

The Siam Spa Academy — part of Siam Spa Health & Beauty — specializes in health and beauty spa training courses. Training course offerings are divided up in Diploma, Intensive, and Short Term programs. Both Thai and Western spa courses are provided.

Siam Spa, located in Chiang Mai (Thailand), was founded in 2002 and is run by Khun Ampai Sheehan. The Spa setup was based on the desire to reduce the amount of chemicals i.e. pharmaceuticals used in the beauty business and to promote the return to natural products that promote health.

Ampai also wished to use scientific and technological knowledge in conjunction with local traditional wisdom so as to help people in general to pay more attention to their health and beauty.

She has published books such as A Manual for Spa Business Management and Vocational Knowledge for Health and Beauty.

Khun Ampai has worked as a consultant for spa businesses both domestically and internationally. In 2004, she was instrumental in setting up the Thai Lanna Spa Association.
