Where can I get a / learn traditional Thai massage ?
There are many places to get a traditional Thai massage around Bangkok – simply look for a massage parlor with a ‘Traditional Thai Massage’ sign outside. Massage parlors that offer ‘modern’ massages (ahp op nuat in Thai) also double as brothels. If you let a taxi or tuk-tuk driver take you to a massage, it will often be more expensive to pay for the commission a driver gets for bringing you there. To get round it, ask them to drop you off somewhere nearby and walk the remaining distance. Wat Pho, the center of Thai massage in Bangkok, also run courses on Thai massage and is undoubtedly the best place to learn.
