Thai Massage

Wednesday, October 1, 2008

As you read on Wikipedia, Thai massage is a type of massage in Thai style that involves stretching and deep massage. It is known in Thailand as "nuat phaen boran" , literally, the ancient-manner massage; or just "nuat phaen thai". Thai massage originated in India and is based on Ayurveda and Yoga. It was believed that the massage art was brought over to Thailand by Shivago Komarpaj over 2500 years ago.

I and my wife have tried twice or three times when we were at Bangkok and Phuket.  Those experiences make a conclusion of mine that Thai Massage is good for you, especially when you are tired. We were really fresh and able to continue shopping after that. 

According Leanne Liddle Therapies, the benefit of Thai Massage are:
  • Improved flexibility and mobility
  • Release of tension & tight muscles
  • Deep relaxation
  • Bringing the awareness to the body as a whole
  • Helps with headaches & insomnia
  • IBS & constipation
  • Sciatica
  • Helps with circulatory and respiratory problems
  • Increases energy levels
You can find Thai Massage almost in every where in Thailand, including in the hotels and the malls. Usually those place are good and clean. They will charge you for 200-400 Baht per hour, depend on the location. Do you interest to try?
