Our Story
Introdction
Viyada Thai Spa has a rich and inspiring history deeply rooted in the traditions of Thai culture and the vision of its founder, Krit Panichpisal, LMT, known as Chris. In 2013, Chris recognized a unique opportunity in Boston, Massachusetts, to introduce authentic Thai massage and spa services in an area where such offerings were notably absent. Driven by his passion for sharing traditional Thai treatments and culture, Chris established Viyada Thai Spa, filling a gap in the wellness market.
The name “Viyada,” derived from an ancient Thai literary character meaning ‘aroma from floral paradise,’ encapsulates the essence of the experience Chris envisioned—an urban sanctuary where guests can escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse themselves in the serenity and healing traditions of Thailand.
Viyada Thai Spa has built a reputation
Since opening its doors, Viyada Thai Spa has built a reputation for its exceptional service, skilled therapists, and tranquil, Thai-inspired ambiance. The spa quickly became known for helping guests achieve harmony and balance of body, mind, and spirit. In 2018, Viyada Thai Spa was honored with the prestigious “Best Massage” award by Boston Magazine, solidifying its status as the premier Thai spa in the region. This accolade reflects the dedication and hard work of the Viyada team and their unwavering commitment to excellence.
As Viyada Thai Spa continues to grow and evolve, expanding its offerings and refining its practices, each location remains a sanctuary designed to provide a sensory journey of pampering, rejuvenation, and spiritual healing. Today, Viyada Thai Spa is proud to maintain its founding principles, offering an unparalleled spa experience that combines traditional Thai healing practices with a modern approach to wellness.
