Set along the tranquil Gulf of Thailand coastline, the Hua Hin Marathon 2026 is set to return on 10 May, offering runners the opportunity to combine athletic ambition with environmental purpose.  Organised by the Preserve Hua Hin Group, which is led by globally acclaimed wellness destination Chiva-Som, the marathon attracts local and international runners who seek not only the exhilaration of the race but also the chance to support local conservation efforts, including the preservation of Krailart Niwate, Hua Hin’s last remaining urban mangrove.

With a history spanning more than 2,500 years, Traditional Thai Medicine is a holistic healing system centred on harmony between the body, mind, and environment. It has been embedded in Chiva-Som Hua Hin’s offering since the resort’s inception and remains fundamental to its integrative approach to balancing physical, mental, and emotional health. Time-honoured treatments - including therapeutic bodywork, movement disciplines, and herbal remedies - are delivered by the resort’s experienced certified TTM practitioner, drawing on the indigenous wisdom for which the country is renowned.

Pioneering transformative wellness destination Chiva-Som Hua Hin in Thailand invites guests to retreat and reset after a busy year, restoring mental and emotional balance to their lives with its holistic Spa Wellbeing and Natural Renewal retreats.
