One of the most powerful nature ambiences is the sound of a waterfall, which creates a natural white noise by creating a calming and refreshing atmosphere.
Moving water is “white noise” and can sound different to each person. Each individual can hear a different “song” in the water flow and it can act as a “white noise”. Natural water sounds activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps us relax and unwind.
KTPH "used nature as a healing process" through paying close attention to all the human senses. The rainforest-like landscaping that weaves in and out of the KTPH infuses the atmosphere with natural sights, sounds and scents.

The lush green garden surrounding the pond, it is also a natural habitat for butterflies, birds, fish, tortoises, and frogs.
