11 February 2025, Bangkok – MQDC, the property developer within DTGO, held a training session for "forest bathing" instructors at The Forestias, the new green district for well-being at Bangna. 

Forest bathing is the English term for a Japanese therapy called Shinrin-yoku (森林浴). 

The therapy revives us and brings calm and focus by embracing nature through all 5 senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. 

The Forestias is a new forest district across 157 acres at Bangna. Most of this area is green space. 

A 12-acre forest at the district’s heart has been grown with Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki’s famous Miyawaki Method. 

His techniques create diverse, fast-growing forests in urban areas. Densely planted native species form a rich habitat for wildlife.  

Dr. Anong Chanamool and Dr. Sirin Kaewlaiad gave expert tips on principles and methods for forest bathing.
