Thai Massage is new to modern spas, but it is actually an ancient form of massage thought to have been developed by Buddhist monks in Thailand 2,500 years ago. It uses passive stretching and gentle pressure along the body’s energy lines to increase flexibility, relieve muscle and joint tension and balance the body’s energy systems.  

What Happens During a Thai Massage

Thai massage typically works with compression — rhythmic pressing movements directed into muscle tissues by either the hand or fingers. Thai massage usually takes place on a futon mat on the floor, with the client wearing loose or stretchy clothing like yoga gear. The therapist is also on the mat and moves your body into various stretches and positions, without any work on your part. This is why it is sometimes called "lazy man's yoga". Thai massage can be both relaxing and energizing, so it is a good choice if you want to be active after your massage.

The therapist uses a variety of different sequences of techniques on clients, who are either laying face up, laying face down, seated, or on their side. There is constant body contact between the therapist and the client, but rather than rubbing on muscles, the body is compressed, pulled, stretched and rocked.

What About Thai Massage in Thailand?

In Thailand, it can be found just about anywhere, at stalls on the streets, and for a very low price. Wat Pho in Bangkok is both a 16th century temple and home to Thailand’s oldest traditional massage schools. After touring the temple, travelers can get a student massage there for 260 Baht for 30 minutes ($7.50) or 420 Baht for a full hour ($12.15). 

Wat Pho Temple in Bangkok is also a wonderful place to learn how to actually perform Thai Massage. Classes are offered in English, and they cost from 9,500 baht (about $275) to 42,000 baht. You don't have to be a licensed massage therapist to take the class, but you do have to be licensed to perform it when you come back to the U.S.

go by either MTR or bus, easily to find
