A stay without a massage in Thailand is impossible
If you are in Bangkok, Chieng Mai, Hua Hin, Pattaya or Koh Samui, you will always find a massage parlour. The least attractive and least expensive formula is foot massage. You then have other techniques that will be adapted according to your health and your needs.
A simple foot massage is already a great moment of relaxation.
The foot is surely the area of the body most receptive to care. Thai foot massage is a ritual dating back more than 3,000 years.
[1]This massage starts from the tip of the feet to the top of the thighs. It consists of a series of pressures and drains resulting from foot reflexology combined with relaxing massage techniques.
Thai foot massage actively stimulates the body’s muscles, lymph and energy points. It will help you to relieve blood circulation disorders, digestive problems, nervous system disorders or joint disorders.
People who receive a Thai massage session of the feet often evoke a feeling of lightness of the foot and leg, a very great relaxation, even a little sleepiness.
This relaxation can have beneficial effects on health, but there is no scientific evidence to prove it.
Thai massage with oils (not always natural)
The massage with oils is a moment of absolute relaxation. Some salons will offer you real natural oils but this offer is relatively rare.
[2]You find yourself lying in a sifted room if possible. You will have removed your clothes. The masseuse or masseur will discover the towel placed on your body as the massage progresses.
You will feel a sense of well-being and serenity when you take charge of your entire body; feet, legs, hands, back, stomach, shoulders, neck, and head are deeply massaged.
All physical and nervous tensions are then relieved, and you will feel relaxed as never before. Indicate to the masseuse whether the pressure on the muscle is too high or too high.

The traditional Thai massage for the initiated
Traditional Thai massage does not use oils or lotions. The beneficiary remains clothed during treatment. The person receiving this massage wears loose, comfortable clothing and is on a firm mat or mattress on the floor. In Thailand, a dozen people can receive this massage simultaneously in a large room.
[3]The idea is to rub the muscles, stretch and shake the body. For having tested it, it is sometimes painful and may seem long. You may find yourself in positions specific to yoga while the specialist is exerting fairly deep pressure.
Before indulging in a traditional Thai massage, you should not be too fragile or unhealthy. But, we can be sure that after this massage, you will be exhausted but serene.
During the Vietnam War tens of thousands of American soldiers came to Bangkok for a vacation, and Thai massage in the grey zone, or should I say in the red zone, became a thriving business.
Massage is sensual but not necessarily sexual
It is undeniable that a massage is very sensual. Apart from the place with dim light, you will have different perceptions like the smell of oils and hands on your body.
