This month Koktail focuses on wellness and health, as we take a closer look at how celebrities unwind after the stresses of the day.

January and February always feel like a long stretch–with New Year’s celebrations, Chinese New Year and Valentine’s Day keeping everyone busy. From shopping for the perfect gifts to family gatherings and holiday preparations, these occasions are more about complying with tradition and custom rather than relaxation.

But unwinding isn’t just about waiting for the next vacation. True relaxation comes from finding what makes you feel at ease–whether it’s indulging in a favourite hobby, enjoying a comforting meal or treating yourself to a spa day.

Koktail caught up with Thai celebrities to discover how they de-stress after a packed schedule or an overwhelming day. Let’s explore and get to know them better.

Nani Hirunkit

“For me, simply enjoying the beach, having the waves wash over me, or feeling the breeze passing through is the ultimate way to recharge. Spending time with my family is another kind of relaxation that allows me to be my true self.”

Perth Tanapon

“For me, relaxation means either sleeping or simply doing nothing.”

Pond Naravit

“What do I do when I’m stressed? I actually find perfume to be a great stress reliever. A soothing scent helps me relax. My go-to? Versace fragrance, of course!”

Blue Pongtiwat

“When I’m stressed, I like to exercise, play games or listen to music. Another go-to for me is shopping–there’s definitely some truth to shopping therapy when it comes to turning a stressful day around.”

Tor Thanapob

“I enjoy spending time at home and playing games in my free time.”

Milk Pansa

“How do I relax? Simply lying in bed, clearing my mind or watching a good TV series does the trick.”

William Jakrapatr

“I really enjoy wellness activities like spa treatments or therapy–they’re both relaxing and beneficial for my health.”

Tayme Thapthimthong

“After a stressful day, I like to relax at home with some good food. I’ll then either put on a great film for a movie night or unwind with some country music.”

Boy Pakorn

“For me, I have various ways to relax. This one might sound simple, but exercising really helps with de-stressing, and a refreshing shower afterward makes it even better. Another thing I enjoy is going to an onsen–it’s incredibly relaxing. These days, public onsens offer great facilities like saunas, cold and hot baths, making the experience even more enjoyable.”

Captain Chonlathorn

“For me, when I’m stressed, I like to wake up early and make a cup of matcha. Taking just 5-10 minutes to focus on the process helps me find a moment of peace. Making a good matcha is a simple yet effective way to de-stress.”

Dream Apichaya & Natty Nantanat

Dream: “Sleep! Or I just like to hang out and relax with my friends.”

Natty: “Exactly! But we have to avoid talking about work to truly clear our minds. Sometimes it’s just nice to catch up with friends.”
