About

Hello, I’m Gina!

I was born and raised in the northern Thai provinces of Lampang and Chiang Mai, immersed in the rich culture and traditions of the region. As a young adult, I moved to the bustling city of Bangkok but maintained a strong connection to my roots through frequent visits.

I’m fascinated by the art and culture of Thailand’s Hill Tribes, which is beautifully reflected in their distinctive clothing, handicrafts, and cuisine. It’s my dream to help promote their incredible artistry to a wider audience. Another passion of mine is the healing art of traditional Thai massage, which I’ve studied and continue to practice.

In 2006, I moved to Canada and worked at the Sabai Thai Spa in North Vancouver. I later discovered the beautiful Sunshine Coast and decided to make it my home. Opening my own business has long been a dream of mine, and I’m thrilled to introduce you to Siam99 – a retail store showcasing unique products from my beloved homeland, which was once known as the ancient kingdom of Siam.

Welcome to Siam99! I’m excited to share my cultural heritage with you.
