Lives in Zurich, Switzerland.
I was born and raised in Bangkok, Thailand, and completed my studies in Accounting with honors, followed by a Master’s degree in Zurich. After working in executive banking roles for two decades, I followed my passion and founded Chiida Spa and Chiida Academy Zurich, both recognized for promoting authentic Thai massage in Europe.
One of my proudest achievements is founding the World Association of Nuad Thai and Spa (WANTS) in 2021, which now includes members from 67 countries. WANTS has successfully organized international Thai massage championships, and the championship in Japan has been especially successful, receiving tremendous recognition and respect across the country, now in its third edition on 06.08.2025,
Through WANTS, we connect therapists worldwide and support the global growth of Thai healing arts. I also launched the NICE (Nuad International Camp Event) in Thailand, combining education and relaxation for therapists and families.
In addition, I’m proud to have served as a honorary consultant for ITA (International Thai Therapist Association) since its beginning—for over 3 years—contributing to its development and international cooperation.
This year, I am honored to join again the Massage Championship World Tour 2025 in Japan, continuing our mission to promote Thai massage excellence on the world stage.
💛 Let’s heal the world together through the touch of massage.
