What to Know About Thai Massage

A guide to the traditional format, oil variations and questions to ask before booking.

Thai Massage: Format and How to Choose

Traditional format

Traditional Thai massage is usually performed through clothing and includes stretching and pressure. Exact technique varies by practitioner.

Oil variation

An oil-based format is closer to relaxation massage and uses a smoother rhythm.

What to confirm

Ask whether the session is performed on a mat or table, whether oil is used and what clothing is required.

When to be cautious

If you have injuries, pain or other restrictions, discuss massage suitability with a qualified medical professional first.
