Brief Overview Of The Journey

December 6th- 14th 2024

Embark on a 9-day transformative travel experience through the enchanting country of Thailand. We begin in Chiang Mai, hanging out in an elephant sanctuary, exploring Buddhist temples, indulging in delectable local cuisine, and wandering giant night markets teeming with souvenirs and irresistible treats. Our journey then leads us to the heart of Pai, a haven for free spirits, where the ancient art of traditional Thai massage awaits. Guided by Joy & Mr. Baan, Thai elders who have over three decades of experience in holistic healing, with the addition of beautiful hearts and unforgettable personalities. You’ll not only gain certification but also the skill to administer a transformative full-body Thai massage.

Pai holds a unique charm that captivates many travelers, drawing them into what locals call the "Pai hole”. I know this because it happen to me! It’s when you unintentionally stay for an extended amount of time because you fall in love with the atmosphere. Surrounded by beautiful mountains and waterfalls, Pai's hippy and artistic vibe will steal your heart.

Experience daily guided yoga, meditation, and breath work sessions to rejuvenate your body and mind. In addition to our massage practice, immerse yourself in the natural beauty of hot springs and waterfalls, and witness breathtaking sunsets at the canyon. Each day a new adventure and awaits. Limited spots available! The bonds formed within this intimate group will transcend friendship; we'll become family, sharing laughter, stories, memories and the magic of travel!
