The story of Suan Sampran began in 1961. While surveying the area by boat, Dr. Chamnan & Khunying Valee Yuvaboon stumbled on a hundred-year-old Pikul tree close to tipping over into the river, the two decided to purchase the property to save this marvelous tree and build a weekend home for their family.

Khunying Valee, through her passion for gardening, gradually sculpted the vast estate into a magnificent garden, eventually opening it to the public. People began to take notice, and Khunying Valee's garden became a popular weekend-destination for Bangkok residents.

The expat visitors started referring to Suan Sampran as the "Rose Garden", a name that reflected a vast bed of roses that Khunying Valee had cultivated as part of the gardens.

As Suan Sampran's reputation for beauty and nature spread, it became a key attraction for those visiting Bangkok and hosted members of royal families, other heads of states, and celebrities from around the world.

This labor of love continues today. Suan Sampran has held IFOAM organic certification since 2012 and now incorporates a popular organic weekend-market that supports local and sustainable farming.

When the founders of RXV first visited Suan Sampran, they were struck by the natural beauty of its gardens and setting, incredible history, and organic-sustainable practices.

However, it was the one thing that drew the Yuvaboon family to the property over 60 years ago that made the greatest impression on our team—the tree’s spoke to them.

Recognizing Sampran was an ideal location for wellness, the team began plans for a new wellness facility that would draw its inspiration from the trees, the Tha-Chin river, and the existing commitment to organic-sustainable practices.

Today, RXV is complete with a newly renovated hotel and a brand-new 4,000 sqm wellness facility, all within a 50 acres natural healing environment.
