Traditional Thai Massage Technique $6 For 1 Hour Cheap & Relaxing

The other day I got a Thai massage. Here in Pattaya, Thailand they range from 100 baht to 200 baht for one hour, or $3-$6. This video is a great way to understand the principles of Thai massage and the technique. I did not film the whole 1 hour, maybe I will do that in the future, but you can see basically how the massage takes place. Thai massage is an ancient practice that goes back centuries, believed to be 2,500 years old. It incorporates elements of yoga, reflexology and Thai medicine. It is believed to have healing properties, a form of therapy and I can't argue with that seeing how good I feel after getting one of these.

Thai massage uses no oil or lotions, sometime tiger balm is used to help heal sore parts of the body. Participants are fully clothed. A real proper Thai massage usually lasts around 2 hours and you can get that for around 300 baht or less than $10 in many parts of pattaya.
