Chiang Mai Massage SchoolsIt may not have Wat Po or an ancient degree stating it as the massage capital of Siam, yet Chiang Mai does have several notable schools that can teach this ancient art. While we at OTRT don't really feel the need for learning the art of thai massage others may. It is also useful to know a bit about Thai massage, especially when you might be receiving a massage and want to know where they originally learnt their skills.
Traditional Thai Massage Schools Thai Massage School of Chiang Mai A prestigeous and comprehensive course for Thai massage students. Open to all, local and foreigner alike. There are 3 levels and each must be mastered before progressing to the next. Shivagakomarpaj Thai Massage School Located at the Old Medicine Hospital it is easily the oldest school of Thai massage in Chiang Mai Province. Professional, yet showing an ancient lore of the massage arts. The head teacher here, Chongkol, travels all over the world but his massage school carrys on regardless. His partner Khun Atchara and her able team continues his work while he is absent from the centre. This school offers a unique combination of Thai massage, yoga, stretching, acupuncture and more for those willing to learn. It's surroundings are rustic but comfortable. An elderly, but respected Thai lady founded this massage school. Combining Southern Thai 'energy' line massage with Northern Thai stretching, herbs and compresses the staff and teachers here are continuing the tradition well. Informal and affordable. Oil Massage Schools A small massage school on Loi Kroi Rd. One-on-one tutorship and small groups are offered. Oil massage is just one of the courses offered with traditional thai massage also on offer.
