Flashbacks from 2025

It was a true honor to be invited as an international instructor and judge at the 4th World Nuad Thai Championship—undoubtedly one of the most important events of the year in the global massage world.
The atmosphere was extraordinary, with a magnificent opening ceremony blending Lanna cultural arts, Thai traditions, and the shared spirit of massage professionals from around the world. More than a competition, it was a powerful affirmation of Nuad Thai as a living cultural heritage, officially recognized on the international stage.
My sincere thanks to Chutima Halg, President of WANTS, for the invitation, leadership, and vision behind this remarkable event.
I am deeply proud and grateful to have been part of this milestone.

These past weeks, I’ve been preparing the Belgium Massage Team for the National Tournament organized by Artis Events in Paris.
Each country is represented in five massage categories, with a team leader and a judge — and as some of you know, I had the honor of being the Judge for Team Belgium 🇧🇪.

I’m incredibly proud to share our results:
🏅 3rd place in Wellness Massage – Wim and Dina
🥈 2nd place in Ayurvedic Massage – Elise
🥈 2nd place in Sport Massage – Marcin

And the biggest surprise of all…
🇧🇪 Belgium won 2nd Best Nation overall!

So proud of my team, their passion, dedication, and the beautiful energy they shared throughout this journey.
Gratitude to everyone who made this possible — my amazing people, you shine so bright 💛

🎉Congratulation! Thailand crowned No.1 in Asian Culture 2025 🇹🇭
Also ranked in the World’s Top 10, reflecting the true power of soft power driving the economy.

💫Recently, the 2024 U.S. News & World Report ranked Thailand No.1 in Asia and 8th in the world out of 89 countries for cultural heritage wealth.
The ranking was based on five key factors:
• Cultural accessibility
• Rich historical legacy
• Cuisine
• Cultural tourist attractions
• Geographic appeal

Although tourism revenue accounts for around 7% of Thailand’s GDP, the country remains among the most visited destinations in the world.

Hello from Thailand!

As many of you know already, I’ve been invited as a judge for the 4th edition of the Nuad Thai Championship, and will be officially inducted into the Hall of Fame by the World Association of Nuad Thai and Spa — a true honor and dream come true!

I will also attend the NICE Massage Camp in Chiang Mai, where I’ll be learning and teaching alongside renowned massage masters from Thailand and not only — an amazing opportunity for growth and inspiration.

I’ll return at the beginning of September, but don’t worry — Toya will continue offering treatments every Monday during my absence. Many of you have already shared how happy you are with her work, and I trust you’re in great hands.

Thank you all so much for your continued support — it means the world to me. Because of you, I can live these incredible experiences and bring back even more to share with you.

With love and gratitude,
Violeta aka Violet Effect
