‘Wishing You Well Treat Yourself to a Wellness Retreat”, January 10, 2020

“Go to Chiang Rai’s Museflower Retreat & Spa for a Wellness Break”, December 2019
“…underneath all my skepticism, Museflower turned out to be a surprisingly humbling experience … I also found a desperate need among my fellow retreaters for a kind of reaffirmation that they had travelled far, some literally, some metaphorically, to find. A hulking Scottish man in his 50s or 60s cried in a room full of strangers because the ancestral meditation reminded him of his lost connection with his parents. A Dutch woman travelling across Asia with her family had taken a few days alone to recharge. A Singaporean woman was on her annual pilgrimage-with-self. And I, determinedly skeptical yet unwittingly charmed by Museflower’s gentle soul.”
“A ‘soul writing’ retreat in Thailand’s Chiang Rai converts a cynic”, November 23, 2019
“Over the next few days, we went on a number of inner journeys to find our secret sanctuaries, find out shamanic spirit animals, look into our “heart’s oceans”, and even create our personal writing shrines …my experience of hypnotherapy helped me attain deep relaxation states. In one of these guided journeys we received a gift from our imaginations – mine was a wooden box that I couldn’t open. I decided it would contain all the ideas I haven’t written yet.”
“Museflower Life Festival Brings Wellness Learning to Chiang Rai”, September 12, 2019
“Museflower Life Festival is one of the few dedicated holistic wellness festivals in Thailand, and the only held in northern Thailand.”

“An early-morning yoga class on a pontoon anchored in the serene lake is a pinch-me highlight of this simple yet elegant eco-friendly hideaway (www.musefloweretreat.com), the ideal place to find your balance by virtue of an organic, vegetarian menu and a digital detox philosophy.”
“Museflower Life Festival”, Jan-Mar 2019
“The Museflower Retreat & Spa and the Museflower Life Festival was truly a wonderful, heartfelt experience that I will always cherish. From the comfort of the surroundings, to the warmth of the members of the staff, it was indeed home away from home.
SOUL FULL – Soul Bliss Retreat at Museflower sharpens intuition and the creative voice through creative writing”, Jan-Feb 2019
“The blend of meditation and writing works well easing us into creative mode before applying practical techniques, in a safe space where we felt confident sharing our innermost selves on the page. The experience comes full circle with a closing ceremony in which we revisit our original intentions while making new ones … I found a better sense of self, optimism on writing as play – and best of all – people with whom to share it with.”
“This Chiang Rai Retreat is the Perfect Spot for Some Holistic Healing”, June 4, 2018
“Museflower Retreat offers a holistic wellness experience that nails all the buzzwords: eco-conscious living, organic food, yoga, empowerment and, of course, the essential Himalayan crystal salt pool. If you’re looking for a retreat to help you get in shape, this relaxing camp-like sanctuary in the foothills of a national park may not be the one for you. Instead, it is the perfect destination for integrating some serious overall wellness into your holiday.”

“Best Affordable Yoga Retreats for 2018”, February, 5, 2018
“The best part about booking a yoga retreat at Museflower is that you can do it on your own terms. Consider visiting in September or October, after the rainy monsoon season, when the weather cools and nature is at its greenest. Need a nudge? Visit during the Life Festival (October), a holistic healing event that gives 5 percent of weekend retreat proceeds to Emoto Peace Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to educating children all around the world on water.”
“8 Wellness Retreats for Food and Wine Lovers”, January 19, 2018

“Retreat From Urban Stress in a Calming, Healthy Environment”, April 26, 2017
“I took a walk after breakfast, enjoying utter tranquility and a mind cleared of clutter. Birds, butterflies and bees fluttered around me. I felt part of nature … The four days at Museflower were certainly an eye-opening experience. I found I enjoyed the simple lifestyle, which revealed to me how we humans clutter our lives with things that we don’t need to find happiness. After returning to Shanghai, I can still feel the benefits of nature in my body and soul.”
“Connecting with My Inner Self at Museflower Retreat & Spa”, January 11, 2017
“That was quite a lot of reflection, learning and insight in three days! In this quiet, peaceful resort, I was able to listen to myself, my internal struggle and my inner wisdom as well. The help from the therapists, resource persons and fellow guests was the icing on the cake.”

“How’s your bio-energetic state? Did you know that the body can store negative energies that affect your health?

“Reconnect and Recharge in Chiang Rai”, May 2016
“I left Museflower feeling noticeably calmer, lighter (not just in body but in spirit!) and focused. When I got back to Hong Kong, friends and colleagues even commented on how ‘refreshed’ I looked! I’m not someone who is super into holistic practices, but I genuinely walked away with a new perspective and outlook. I’ve taken on board some of the things that I learnt and I’ve even found that they have had a positive effect on my daily life.”
“Retreat to Wellness”, May 5, 2016
“Museflower Retreat & Spa is an alternative to the southern islands for health holidays.

“A Hong Konger’s Affordable Holistic Wellness Retreat”,May 1, 2016
“What’s the food like? Heavenly. If you love fresh organic vegetarian food, then you’re unlikely to find anything better than this. All chef Somphop Sakulchart needs to do is nip over to his organic farm and pick whatever he needs, be it salad ingredients, vegetables, mushrooms or herbs. Simple, healthy food is served buffet style, with plenty of raw salads and soups. The chef’s enthusiasm for his garden is infectious and, if you ask him nicely, he’ll allow you to accompany him to pick out your own duck eggs.”
”Yoga Retreats You can Actually Afford”, February 17, 2016
“The best part about booking a yoga retreat at Museflower is that you can do it on your own terms … Each holistic retreat package – whether it’s three, five, or seven days—includes two daily Hatha yoga classes, all organic vegetarian farm-to-table meals, and a massage. Amenity not to miss: the Himalayan crystal salt pool. You’ll stay in lakeside cottages surrounded by misty hills and have easy access to hill tribe villages, cultural excursions to temples and bazaars, and even elephant-trekking tours.
“Wellness Among the Chiang Rai Hills”, December 22, 2015
“In the early mornings, the kitchen crew gathers fresh produce after stopping at the adjacent duck pond to collect fresh eggs. The meat-free meals are dished out next to the spa at the Soul Food Corner and are prepared with a combination of grown-on-site and locally-sourced food. Museflower makes vegetarianism work with Thai-inspired clean cuisine, minus the piles of salt and sugar.”
“Retreat to Nature”, December 6, 2015
“The meal is simple, but it is one of the best vegetarian meals I have had. The salad is fresh and crisp; the fried rice is fragrant and with not a hint of greasiness. Even the deep-fried bean curd skin does not leave any traces of oil on my fingers.”
“Unique Wellness Resort Opens in Chiang Rai”, October 6, 2015
“Museflower Retreat & Spa offers a series of wellness “firsts” in Thailand…such as Thailand’s first Himalayan crystal salt pool and northern Thailand’s first ozonized outdoor pool, heated by solar power… also the first venue outside Japan to offer Japanese “Hado” counseling sessions, which measure a person’s bio-energetic state and the negative vibrations that affect a person’s health.”
