Eat, Pray, Love with Avani across Thailand
Embark on your own Eat, Pray, Love-inspired journey of self-care at Avani Hotels and Resorts across Thailand. Be your own version of Elizabeth Gilbert as you explore not the world, but Thailand, in search of good food, spirituality, and true (self)love.
Whether that is indulging in the vibrant culinary scene of Khon Kaen, strengthening your inner spirit in Bangkok, or rejuvenating your body in Hua Hin, each location offers a path to balance and renewal.
Eat in Khon Kaen

Start your journey with some good food at Avani Khon Kaen Hotel & Convention Centre, where nine must-visit restaurants offer culinary experiences that nourish both the body and the soul. With five of these eateries featured in the Michelin Bib Gourmand list, you’re guaranteed a memorable dining adventure.
Enjoy creative Thai dishes at KEAN, or savour the comforting pink noodle soup at Leng Yentafo. If noodles are your go-to comfort food, Guang Tang Noodles is a must-visit. For something light and fresh, try the Thai-style spring rolls at Naem Nuang Lap Lae.
For a sweet escape, See-Na-Nuan Café offers indulgent desserts in a cosy atmosphere. Coffee lovers can head to Godfather Khon Kaen, while MITI Café serves delightful light bites and afternoon tea. Don’t miss Pho Tha Bo for authentic Vietnamese pho or Sri Chand Milk for creamy milk drinks.

Making it more special and exclusive by showing your Avani key card for exclusive offers, from discounts to complementary beverages. Whether enjoying a hearty meal or a sweet treat, these dining experiences are designed to help you unwind and recharge.
Pray in Bangkok

Next, nurture your spirit without traveling all the way to India like Elizabeth Gilbert but instead, explore the rich spiritual traditions of Hindu gods and shrines in Bangkok. At Avani Ratchada Bangkok Hotel, conveniently located near Huai Khwang Intersection, you’ll discover one of Thailand’s most revered shrines dedicated to Ganesha, the elephant-headed god known for wisdom, prosperity, and removing obstacles. Participating in rituals at this sacred site, especially on auspicious Tuesdays and Thursdays, offers a meaningful form of self-care, inviting reflection and guidance on your personal journey of growth.

In addition to Ganesha, Rahu is located just right in front. In Hindu mythology, Rahu is associated with transformation and luck, and devotees often offer black foods as a symbol of honour. Participating in these rituals can enhance your inner strength and cultivate a sense of abundance in your life.

For a broader spiritual journey, the Ratchaprasong area is rich with opportunities to connect with various deities. The Erawan Shrine, for instance, is a place where visitors pray for blessings and good fortune, offering a moment of reflection in the bustling city. Nearby, the Trimurti Shrine focuses on love and relationships, while the Lakshmi Shrine at Gaysorn Village is dedicated to the goddess of wealth. Together, these spiritual experiences create a harmonious environment that encourages self-discovery and rejuvenation.
Love in Hua Hin

End your journey with some self-pampering and me-time at Avani+ Hua Hin Resort, home to AvaniWell. This modern wellness sanctuary merges science with holistic practices, offering personalised programmes curated by experts in Thai traditional medicine, nutrition, and fitness. Here, self-care transcends the ordinary, focusing on the mind, body, and spirit.
AvaniWell’s offerings include modern facial therapies and a comprehensive IV menu featuring NAD+ anti-ageing and immune support drips. Guests can indulge in unique Middle Eastern rituals at the hammam, enjoying massages, cleanses, and relaxation on heated marble beds. Coastal-inspired treatments incorporate local elements like salt scrubs and seashell massages, grounding you in the natural beauty of Hua Hin.

Signature services, such as the “Pao Ya Fire Rebalance” and “Chae Ya Power Baths,” combine ancient healing practices with astrology and numerology to address specific health conditions. The lesser-known Salt Pot Healing technique, involving hot salt compresses and aromatic oils, effectively releases tension and restores balance.
Take time to disconnect from the world and focus on your own needs—whether that is through enjoying good food, reconnecting with your inner spirit through prayer or meditation, or giving your body a little love through wellness programmes and nourishing treatments. Embracing self-care is the ultimate act of love, and investing time in yourself will give you the biggest return.
