“Jaran” is a traditional Thai word derived from the word จร /Jon/ meaning to travel or to wander, or in-depth meaning: path. Jaran’s offers a wide range of healing modalities that encourage you on your own unique path. At Jaran’s, we believe that health and pleasure create a great path in life.
We honor “Jaran” from “Jaran Thongnual”, an extraordinary man and owner of this land. He told us that this area 200 years back at his great-grandparents’ time used to be called “Mueng San” (San Mine), and 70 years ago it was called “Thung Lark Phra”, connotations are not recognized. He said this area is favored among local Koh Phangan people to visit and look for varieties of edible and rare mushrooms when rainy season come. Right now, Jaran Thongnual lives healthfully at Chalok Ban Kao, Koh Tao, Suratthani that he and his family have settled for more than 60 years. Jaran, 86 years of age, granted this “Jaran’s” land to his oldest daughter, Penkwan, and in the year 2013, she passed this love forward to her oldest daughter, Khane.
