Thai massage has been a special art for hundreds of years. It has been refined by practice and passed down through generations throughout Thailand. In Pattaya, massage is still alive and well and enjoyed by thousands of visitors and locals every day. The methods used today are traditional and date back to Indian Ayurvedic practice originally developed by Buddhist monks almost 2000 years ago. All across Thailand, particularly in tourist areas such as Pattaya.

Thai massage explained
There are three popular choices of massage in Pattaya.

Thai traditional massage: which involves the vigorous treatment of more than 100 areas of the body. Using hand pressure and the masseuse’s own body to apply forces, they aim to work specific pressure points and re-align energy lines in the body. Ideally, this process takes at least two hours and can be rather uncomfortable at times, but leaves you feeling very relaxed.

Oil massage: is gentler than Thai massage and involves deep muscle tissue treatment using specially blended therapeutic oils. Of course it leaves you a little oily afterwards, and you’ll need a shower to freshen up, but this type of massage can be a very sensual experience.

Foot massage: works the internal organs of the body through manipulation of pressure points on the soles of your feet in a very similar way to that of reflexology. This is another skill that has been passed down for hundreds of years and can be quite effective in producing a relaxing effect on the whole body. On the beach and at the Tuesday and Friday market on Soi Buakao, as it joins South Pattaya Road you can find foot massage widely available.

Many places also offer massages specialising in specific areas of the body such as the hands and head.
