Wat Pho Thai Traditional Massage
School, University
Wat Pho Thai Traditional Massage
Thailand’s stunning Wat Pho temple has been the base of Thailand’s traditional massage and medicine since King Rama III established the nation’s first university here, in a bid to both preserve and further develop this noble art. Today, traditional Thai and foot massages take place in a communal setting in the temple grounds themselves, in the place where it all began, for a truly historic and culturally significant experience. It might not have the luxury or privacy of some other massage parlours, but it’s a little slice of history and as authentic as they come – not to mention in the shadow of one of Thailand’s most famous temples.
