Abstract

Local wisdom is specific to the way of life and culture in each region. The Lanna people who live in northern Thailand have a unique local wisdom which can be applied in life through ritual therapy, physical therapy, herbal therapy, and food therapy. Lanna local wisdom can be integrated into the development of spas for health services which are established to serve the needs of people who are taking care of their own health and well-being. The spa itself has a scientific attitude that can be used to promote health and relaxation, both physically and mentally.
