The new program takes short-term leisure travel beyond relaxation, transforming it into a personalized health and wellness experience designed to support long-term healthy living. The initiative further reinforces Phuket’s position as a world-class wellness destination, while preparing the island for the upcoming Global Wellness Summit 2026 in November.
The event was attended by Mr. Songkran Issara, Chief Executive Officer of Charn Issara Development Public Company Limited; Dr. Kiatphum Saithai, Preventive Medicine Specialist at the Preventive and Regenerative Health Clinic, BDMS Wellness Clinic; Dr. Atiya Rungjaeng, Director of BDMS Wellness Clinic Phuket; and Ms. Kamonchanok Chotisamithkul, Senior Director of Marketing, BDMS Wellness Clinic and BDMS Silver.
Also joining the event were Koi – Rachwin Kongmalai, actress and mother known for her health-conscious and balanced lifestyle; Ann – Manatsanan Naklada, a professional trainer who has worked behind the scenes caring for the health and fitness of numerous celebrities; Natt – Thiwphai Ngam, artist, singer and actor who has pursued a career as a professional trainer; and Yok – Phakthsan Thanomahataweekit, representing a new generation increasingly focused on holistic health and wellness. The event was held at YAYA, Sri panwa Phuket.
The Global Rise of the Wellness Economy
The global ‘Wellness Economy’ continues to expand as consumers place greater emphasis on ‘healthy longevity’ and preventive healthcare. According to the Global Wellness Institute (GWI), the global wellness economy is projected to grow at an average annual rate of 7.6%, reaching approximately US$9.8 trillion by 2029.
The trend reflects a fundamental shift in consumer attitudes toward health. Health is no longer viewed simply as something to address when illness occurs, but as an integral part of everyday life, travel and long-term investment.
In Thailand, the wellness economy grew by 10.1% in 2024 compared with the previous year, with tourism serving as a major growth driver. Thailand ranked ‘15th globally in wellness tourism market value’ and recorded the ‘third-highest growth rate worldwide at 36.4%’, behind India and the United Arab Emirates.
Thailand’s strong potential stems from its internationally recognized medical standards, attentive hospitality, abundant natural resources, distinctive Thai cuisine and herbs, and unique traditional Thai medical wisdom.
Advancing Thailand and Phuket as a Global Wellness Destination
As the ‘Thailand Country Partner of the Global Wellness Institute (GWI) for the fourth consecutive year’, BDMS Wellness Clinic is committed to advancing Thailand and Phuket as a global ‘Wellness Destination’.
The organization aims to translate knowledge in ‘Scientific Wellness’ and preventive medicine into meaningful, accessible health experiences that can be integrated into everyday life.
The continued partnership with Sri panwa forms part of BDMS Wellness Clinic’s strategic alliance approach to elevate Thailand’s wellness tourism experience by bringing together health science, hospitality and luxury leisure to create lasting value for health and quality of life.
Under the collaboration, the two partners have jointly developed “BDMS Wellness Clinic x Sri panwa The Holistic Wellness Retreat,” a wellness retreat combining health science with private luxury relaxation at Cape Panwa, Phuket, one of the island’s most beautiful and tranquil locations.
Surrounded by private pool villas overlooking the Andaman Sea, the retreat seamlessly integrates advanced health assessments at the cellular level, personalized nutrition, regenerative medicine and a comprehensive range of therapeutic and wellness activities.
A New Definition of Luxury: Wellness Designed Around the Individual
Mr. Songkran Issara, Chief Executive Officer of Charn Issara Development Public Company Limited, said:
“Today’s travelers are placing increasing importance on health and quality of life. A getaway should therefore mean more than simply changing one’s surroundings; it should provide an opportunity to meaningfully restore both body and mind.
“Sri panwa’s strengths lie in its location, privacy, natural surroundings and luxury hospitality. When combined with BDMS Wellness Clinic’s expertise in Scientific Wellness and preventive medicine, these strengths create a Wellness Retreat designed around each individual’s health needs and personal goals.
“Phuket is well positioned in terms of its natural environment, hospitality and healthcare standards, giving the destination strong potential to become a global hub for Wellness and Longevity.
“This is particularly significant in 2026, when Phuket has been selected to host the Global Wellness Summit. This collaboration therefore not only enhances the guest experience, but also contributes to strengthening the image of Phuket and Thailand as internationally recognized destinations for wellness tourism.”
Seamlessly Integrating Luxury Retreats with Personalized Preventive Medicine
Ms. Kamonchanok Chotisamithkul, Senior Director of Marketing, BDMS Wellness Clinic and BDMS Silver, said:
“The success of the partnership between BDMS Wellness Clinic and Sri panwa over the years—particularly the full-scale operation of a specialized clinic within the hotel premises since 2025—demonstrates that luxury customers and travelers from around the world are seeking experiences that go beyond traditional relaxation.
“We have therefore taken this partnership to the next level with ‘The Holistic Wellness Retreat,’ creating a new dimension of wellness tourism that seamlessly integrates Scientific Wellness with Sri panwa’s distinctive luxury hospitality and leisure experience.”
Dr. Kiatphum Saithai, Preventive Medicine Specialist at the Preventive and Regenerative Health Clinic, BDMS Wellness Clinic, explained:
“Scientific Wellness begins with understanding an individual’s health through scientific data. Physicians assess health results alongside each guest’s lifestyle and personal goals to identify factors that may affect stress, sleep quality, hormonal balance and long-term health.
“These insights are then translated into a personalized wellness plan covering nutrition, movement, recovery and appropriate supplementation. The ultimate goal is not simply to understand health test results, but to transform health data into practical guidance that can be incorporated into everyday life.”
The Holistic Wellness Retreat: A Science-Based Personalized Health Journey
‘The Holistic Wellness Retreat’ has been designed as a personalized wellness program grounded in medical science. Guests can choose between ‘4 days and 3 nights’ or ‘7 days and 6 nights’.
Rather than focusing solely on changing the environment or providing short-term relief from fatigue, the retreat gives guests the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of their own health and establish a foundation for sustainable long-term wellness.
The program begins with an in-depth health assessment and consultation with a preventive medicine specialist. The results are then used to create a personalized wellness plan aligned with each guest’s individual health goals.
Guests also receive a personalized health report and practical recommendations that can be incorporated into their everyday routines, allowing their long-term health journey to continue even after the retreat ends.
Dr. Atiya Rungjaeng, Director of BDMS Wellness Clinic Phuket, said:
“The key strength of ‘The Holistic Wellness Retreat’ is its holistic approach to the Health Journey. The experience encompasses medical consultation, Skin Radiance Treatment, personalized full-board nutrition, Mindfulness Sessions, Active Wellness activities, Thermal Sessions and spa experiences, all set within the peaceful surroundings of Sri panwa.”

Longevity Conversation by the Sea
The official launch of “The Holistic Wellness Retreat” took place during “Longevity Conversation by the Sea” at YAYA, Sri panwa Phuket.
The event featured a special talk by Dr. Kiatphum Saithai on preventive healthcare and healthy longevity, followed by a ‘Sound Healing Workshop’ focused on mindful relaxation.
Guests also participated in a networking session, exchanging perspectives on the future of wellness and long-term health.
A Scientific Wellness Experience for Global Wellness Summit 2026
For participants attending the ‘Global Wellness Summit 2026’, taking place from November 10–13, 2026, BDMS Wellness Clinic and Sri panwa are preparing a special “Scientific Wellness Retreat” experience focused on personalized, in-depth preventive healthcare.
The experience will include physician-led health assessments, personalized health reports and practical self-care guidance designed to support a longer, healthier and higher-quality life—all delivered with the privacy and distinctive hospitality for which Sri panwa is known.
The collaboration between BDMS Wellness Clinic and Sri panwa represents a significant step toward integrating preventive medicine, scientific wellness, luxury hospitality and destination travel, reinforcing Phuket’s potential to become one of the world’s leading destinations for Wellness Tourism and Longevity.
