When mentioning spiritual tourism, people think about visiting sacred places and obtaining objects that bring fortune. However, spiritual trips created by Sook — an enterprise from the Thai Health Promotion Foundation — were designed to help travellers learn about Thai art, architecture and the meaning of symbols that adorn various places. The activities are specifically tailored for travellers and aim to enhance their knowledge and discover their inner selves.
Sook’s first spiritual project was called Yueanyon Montra Matukam Poed Kandernthang Sue Huajai Mae, or Visiting The Feminine Mythical World: Unveiling The Path To The Heart Of The Motherland, which took place earlier this year. Under this title, Sook organised five different spiritual trips which included a visit to Bangkok, Thon Buri, Ayutthaya and Lop Buri.
