The Good Manner: Advice on Thailand from WoWasis’ Pa Farang
Today’s question: How long will it take me to learn Thai massage?

Dear Pa Farang,

I am planning to visit Bangkok and i would like to have massage lessons but i haven’t have before any. How long you think it takes for a starter to learn? – Manos

Hello Manos,

There are a number of options available in Bangkok, but the one most highly recommended for learning Thai massage is the school at the famous Wat Pho, considered to be the most reputable massage school in Thailand. Courses vary, as does the time involved, but the basic course is 5 days. Click on WoWasis’ Wat Pho link, and you will find a description of Wat Pho as well as a link to their website, which has scheduling and cost information. This school is highly recommended by everyone, and a certificate from them is of tremendous value, professionally.

Marayat Dee,

– Pa Farang
