Chiang Mai is the origin of Thai ancient massage and SPA. The design is based on the red bricks of Chiang Mai's ancient city wall, and the staggered structure of water features echoes with the tropical greenery that appears unexpectedly. The water shadow and glistening which are reflected on the city wall. When people enter the space, it’s like being in the ancient capital of Lanna, forgetting the dust of the world for a moment.

The overall space is dominated by loess colours. The vintage materials, such as red bricks, thin rock slabs, terrazzo, red dyed fabrics, earthy red antique tiles, are all blended in the same colour palette, depicting the marks of the ancient city of Lanna. There are Chiang Mai's local wood carvings, a variety of herbs and utensils, rattan furniture and screen partitions, linen-dyed hanging curtains, and water lamps floating on the water mist and other soft furnishings. All of them are hiding among tropical plants and outline the local life atmosphere in the past.

The dim earth-red space emits lemongrass aromatherapy scent. The sound of birds chirping and running water echoes infinitely. Designed with care, it mobilises the visual, smell and auditory senses to calm down and plunge into the quiet tranquillity of the ancient city. Let body slowly enter the prelude to the ancient SPA journey.

The sunlight penetrates into the pool through the slits in the wooden shutters, reflecting on the tropical plants and dyed fabrics, melting into the water mist. It helps to pull the memory back to that side of the dust.
