Thailand may be known as a sunny holiday destination with great islands and beautiful beaches but it also wants to boost its reputation as a serious health and wellness destination.
The Thai pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, in Japan, will highlight the country's commitment to becoming one of the global leaders in medical and wellness services.
In line with the Expo's theme "Designing Future Society for Our Lives," Thailand will aim to demonstrate how its blend of traditional practices and advanced medical services can foster "happiness and well-being for all".
Thailand's Minister of Public Health, Somsak Thepsutin, says Expo can promote Thailand as a preferred global medical hub.
"We are excited to take part in this global event, where Thailand will share its unmatched expertise in both traditional Thai medicine and modern healthcare," Somsak said.
"Thailand's policies are focused on transforming the country into an international medical hub, and our participation in Expo 2025 in Osaka will highlight our strengths in these areas."
The Thai Pavilion at Expo 2025 will feature five key areas:
# Traditional Thai Healthcare: Emphasizing the harmony between humans and nature, traditional Thai medicine has been practiced for centuries and remains integral to the country's identity.
# Thai Herbs and Culinary Health: Thailand's rich culinary traditions, such as the world-famous Tom Yum Goong, incorporate the healing power of Thai herbs, showcasing their health benefits.
# Thai Herbal Medicine: Visitors will learn about unique herbal products such as aroma inhalers and therapeutic massage oils, commonly used to promote health and well-being.
# Thai Massage: Recognized as a UNESCO cultural heritage activity, Thai massage is renowned for its healing properties, combining therapeutic techniques with relaxation.
# Modern Medical Excellence: Thailand is a recognized leader in modern healthcare, with 62 medical organizations accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI), ranking the country fourth globally and No. 1 in Southeast Asia.
