Getting a Thai massage is one of the most common activities in Thailand for visitors and the country’s residents. On almost every street here you can find a Thai massage parlour. It’s one of those rights of passage for foreigners to get a Thai massage and many people will go back for regular ones each week.

Thai Massage Koh Phangan

What is Thai Massage?

Thai massage is an ancient art which is still practised today. It can heal injuries when treated with care, and rejuvenate the body. However, some people can find it will hurt when done poorly! Thai massage is an important part of the culture. It's been around for a while, more than 2,500 years to be precise, and legend has it that none other than the Buddha himself invented the technique. 
Thai massage integrates acupressure practices, stretches of assisted yoga and incorporates concepts of Indian Ayurvedic. In Thailand today, there are over 10,000 massage and spa studios! You should wear loose and comfortable clothes during a Thai massage, and you should lie on a massage bed or mat. Being surrounded by other people with no privacy is very common in Thai massage parlours. During the massage, you will be seated in a number of yoga-style positions, with the masseuse using deep and rhythmic pressure. You can find that your first encounter could be uncomfortable, but it's well worth the benefits!

Benefits

Thai massage has many distinct benefits, making it worth having this treatment on your trip. Reduced stress is one of the most important health advantages since therapy requires rotating the body to alleviate tension. This can increase energy, improve circulation and reduce headaches. It can also increase the range of motion because of the stretching and physical nature of the massage.

 

Learning Thai Massage

Many travellers, especially when here on Koh Phangan and staying for a longer time, like to take courses. This means you have a unique insight into the culture whilst learning a new skill to take home with you. By taking a course you will learn all the secrets such as wind gate points, energy lines, breathing, positions, mind control, balancing, direction, pressure points, feeling, giving-receiving, focus and training, with an experienced instructor. Koh Phangan has a few different schools and teachers where you can learn Thai massages such as C&M Vocational School and Siam Healing Centre.

Thai Massage on Koh Phangan

 

Lek Massage by Mr Lek
Baan Tai

A good massage, hot stones and back stretches with your head upside down. Highly recommended for people with physical difficulties and anyone in general. Mr. Lek has a very soft touch and it is because of that that he is also very recommended for the older generation. Mr Lek is a healer and a physiotherapist. He needs only a few moments to find the root and the real course of one’s pain and has varied ways to attend the healing. His touch has an effect similar to many Reiki Healers and puts you into a very very light trance state. Among his offerings, he also makes heat treatments, in traditional Thai style, with his herbs and oils which are heated up in a cloth and swopped around a round soft sponge. A very pleasant treatment!
