Staff Farewell

Khun Fha heads to Australia

It was a sense of recognition and congratulatinos as well as a sense of sadness that we said farewell to Khun Fha whom we farewelled in February.

Khun Fha was successful in a round of academy promotions to go to Australia to complete her Diploma in Naturopathy for 2 years As a physiotherapist she was already well known in Chiva-Som resorts before she joined Chiva som academy in...

Khun Fha quickly established herself as a respected colleague with a dedication to students and a great knowledge on the physical therapies. Her calm and professional manner will be missed and this is a good opportunity to wish her success in Australia and looking forward to her return.
