Most of the time you travel to discover new places. What if you could discover the other side of you during your journey? Through creative tourism experiences, visitors to Thailand can expect life-changing lessons revealing undiscovered part of themselves. From craft making to Thai boxing; learning about agricultural cornerstones such as rice farming to massage instruction; and lessons in preparing the unquestionable defining cuisine, local experts are eager to share their knowledge.

Of all the subjects available to study, Thai massage is likely the one that will make you most popular when you return home. While studying, you’ll learn more about yourself, and with your new knowledge, you will be able to help family and friends improve their health.

Students of Thai massage embark on a holistic journey that delves deep into history. Some literature says that its origins are lined to the Lord Buddha’s physician. Although many may first think of massage as being predominately muscle related, practitioners of Thai massage are seen as energy influencers.

Students learn about energy meridians and techniques to open up sen lines, or what are the invisible energy channels, that flow through the body. It is a holistic journey that undeniably leads to greater wellness and longevity.

Thai massage relaxes the mind as well as the body. It loosens blockage by working on pressure points that help relieve stress and enhance healing.

The person giving the massage also gains from the experience, including the pride that can only be felt by a healer. Those feelings of compassion and giving kindness are invaluable.

Thai traditional massage involves stretching and kneading muscles so clients wear comfortable loss-fitting clothes, and the massage is usually done with the recipient lying on the floor. In Thailand, it is called "nuat phaen boran", literally, the traditional massage, but most Thais simply refer to it as "nuad Thai.” Sometimes, it is referred to as a Wat Pho style massage, named after the ancient wat next to the Grand Palace in Bangkok and one of the places massage was first established in the kingdom.

Many countries have massage, but Thailand offers what many consider the world’s best, and it is a skill readily available to study in Thailand and valued the world over.

Traditional Thai massage is available throughout the country, but the best schools teaching the ancient art are located in six popular tourist areas:

Bangkok
Chiang Mai
Khonkaen
Koh Samui, Surat Thani
Pattaya, Chonburi
Phuket
