Forest Industry Organization Launches Eco-Tourism Wellness Initiatives in Chiang Mai
The Forest Industry Organization (FIO) is introducing traditional Thai massage and spa services at two pilot forest parks in Chiang Mai to boost eco-tourism.
According to a report by Matichon Online, the Forest Industry Organization (FIO) has announced a new initiative to enhance eco-tourism experiences by integrating wellness services into its forest park facilities. Chanudom Phetsang, Deputy Director and Acting Director of the FIO, stated that the organization is launching pilot projects at two forest parks located in Chiang Mai province.
These sites will now feature traditional Thai massage and spa services, aiming to provide visitors with a more immersive nature-based experience. This move is part of a broader strategy to elevate the appeal of FIO-managed forest areas, encouraging travelers to engage with natural environments while enjoying local wellness traditions.
For travelers and residents, this development suggests an expansion of recreational amenities in Chiang Mai’s forest zones, potentially offering a unique blend of relaxation and outdoor exploration. As these services are currently being piloted, further details regarding the specific locations of the two parks, the full range of available treatments, and the official launch dates for public access remain to be confirmed. Visitors interested in these new offerings should monitor official FIO announcements for updates on when these facilities will be fully operational.
