Ultimately, this exemplary spa event aims to complement Thailand's strategic goal of being ASEAN's spa industry leader," said Mr. Apichai Jearadisak, President of the Thai Spa Association.

The number of the TSPA members is expected to continue to increase in line with the estimated huge growth of the Thai spa market in the next two or three years. Not only the international market but also the domestic market will become stronger because of the increased number of Thai customers.
