Thai spa operator Blooming Spa – manager of the Let's Relax day spa chain – is set to open a new Bt100m (£1.4m, US$2.6m, 2m euro) spa in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand.

The 34-bedroom RarinJinda Wellness Center will feature a reflexology room, 15 treatment rooms for Thai massages and 10 spa treatment rooms with built-in showers and steamrooms, as well as a hydrobath, a hydrotherapy room and a Vichy shower.

Treatments will include foot and hand reflexology, oil massages and body wraps.

The centre will also feature the company’s first massage academy for in-house staff training, with 30 students set to start a three-month course on advanced massage techniques and the human anatomy later this month.

The centre is due to open in mid October under the management of Blooming Company. Details: www.bloomingspa.com
