About

Hello, I’m Gina!

I was born in Thailand and spent my childhood years immersed in the culture and customs of Lampang and Chiang Mai Provinces in the north. I moved to the modern city of Bangkok but kept my strong connection with my place of birth through frequent visits.

I am fascinated with the art and culture of the Hill Tribes of Northern Thailand which is reflected in their clothing, handicrafts and cuisine. It is my dream to help promote their art to a wider audience. Aside from arts and fashion, my interests include the art of Thai healing massage. I studied and continue to practice traditional Thai massage therapy.

I moved to Canada in 2006 and worked at the Sabai Thai Spa in North Vancouver. I now live on the Sunshine Coast (after having discovered this beautiful sanctuary). Opening my own business has been my lifelong dream. I always wanted to open a retail store that will showcase unique products from my home land. I chose the name Siam for it was the ancient name of modern Thailand.
