In April 2019, we launched our venture into the wellness industry or service-based business, aimed at enhancing the well-being of our clients. Initially named "Art Info Company Limited," our business philosophy centered around the principles of "Helping, Sharing, and Growing Together." Our founder, Mr. Ritthee Gurusingh, brings a wealth of experience across various domains, including information technology, integrated risk management, life insurance, marketing, and financial advisory, gained from prestigious financial institutions like SCB Life Insurance Public Company Limited (now FWD Life Insurance Public Company Limited) and Finansa Life Insurance Public Company Limited (now Phillip Life Insurance Public Company Limited). Upon retiring from conventional employment, Mr. Gurusingh embarked on a business venture conducive to familial collaboration. Consequently, we entered into property management agreements with your esteemed entity, Amaravati Company Limited, owned by Dr. Budhacharan Budhacharan, operating under the name "Amaravati Ashram".
The founders and their families have collaboratively established the following businesses and brands :
These initiatives arose in response to the adversities brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, beginning in February 2020 and lasting until December 2022, encompassing a three-year period since the business's inception, which occurred just eight months earlier.
Amidst the crisis, the management team initiated special services for stranded foreign nationals unable to return home due to airport closures and travel restrictions within Thailand and abroad. They offered accommodation at a significantly discounted rate of up to 87% off the standard price (reduced from 1,500 Baht to 200 Baht per night) and meals at a discounted rate of 67% (reduced from 150 Baht to 50 Baht per meal). This allowed the foreign nationals to seek refuge during the difficult times. As a result of this initiative, the team provided assistance to a total of 10 foreign nationals from 8 different countries (including the United States, Argentina, Brazil, Japan, the Netherlands, Iran, and Spain), along with 3 Thai nationals. Among them, one individual was unable to cover the service fees, while another could only make partial payment. However, the team extended acceptance and support to these individuals, treating them with the same care as regular customers, until domestic travel conditions began to normalize over the following five months.
Additionally, these special services created a business model that not only generated revenue but also extended assistance to those in need as dictated by the business's capabilities and exigencies.
Throughout the crisis, our team collaborated closely with the local community to actively participate in eco-system and environmental initiatives. These efforts included various projects, such as the development of a tourism map for the Mae Rim-Sameong route and the establishment of the Charming Mae Rim Associated. This group aimed to enhance recreational areas along the MaeTaeng-ChiangMai Irrigation, transforming them into leisure spots for locals and new tourist destinations. We received support from the Chiang Mai Tourism Industry Council and the Chiang Mai Tourism Business Association for these endeavors. Additionally, we tackled waste management challenges and pollution in the area. This involved implementing buried waste pits in Moo 10, Mae Raem Subdistrict, and waste disposal facilities in Moo 7, Rim Tai Subdistrict, both located in Mae Rim District, Chiang Mai Province. These efforts began in 2002 and were successfully resolved in July 2021 with the municipality's closure order for the buried waste pits.
Our endeavors garnered recognition from several government agencies :
Following our collective efforts, our team has opted to transform our business model from a "Family Business" to a "Social Enterprise". This decision, sanctioned by the Office of Social Enterprise Promotion (OSEP) on December 1, 2023, officially heralded the formation of "Chiang Mai Being Well Social Enterprise Co., Ltd."

TRE® is an innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. The exercises safely activate a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this muscular shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance.
