In Thai culture, massage is a family tradition: most children are taught the fundamental concepts from an early age. It’s habit, at the end of the day, while the family gathers after a long day's work, to share a meal and give each other a relaxing massage.

The traditional Thai massage is mainly based on the teachings of Cheewaka Ko-Marrapat, an Indian healer who lived at the same time of the Buddha. It’s a form of pressure applied by touch to specific energy points and energy lines on the body, is a combination of Thai and Indian healing therapies. It is a very effective and comprehensive system to energize and strengthen the body. It promotes the flows of the energy in the energy lines and the flow of blood in the blood vessels and capillaries.

Thai massage has been one of the ancients healing arts of traditional Thai medicine. In Wat Pho, in Bangkok, there are significant paintings about the roots of this art, and a International renamed school of massage.
