Massage Schools - Course

[thailanddreamer]

I was wondering if any of the member know where i can find a good school to take some thai massage courses and get some kind of degree also if you have any personal experience and can recommend some good school, looking for a professional training course between 3-4 weeks hopefully not very expensive too

I had heard Wat Pho has classes for farangs.

The Wat Po courses are good. The massage school predates the temple, surprisingly. My friend's Thai wife went there and it was good. From the pictures there were a couple farang there. I believe this is the site here: http://www.watpomassage.com

I am sure that there is a govt sponsored scheme to teach Thai massage, as from time to time my partner who has a Thai massage business on Samui with 7 massage ladies, gets a farang working there for working experience. This is a proper massage business and all masseurs have certificates as opposed to those in Chaweng who have isaan girls for "hand relief" massage ! but no training whatsoever.

Thai massage when properly performed is very good indeed and not really expensive, however i get mine free

thanks for your replies (sorry i havent replied for a long time)

I am actually looking for a professional massage school in BKK for a Thai girl not falang and after she graduates to get a proper degree aknowlged by the Thai Ministry of Education or whatever they call it.

Wat Po looks interesting even though i don't have a lot of faith to schools in thailand that are for falang too, maybe they adjust or change some of their courses to fit the falangs needs and requests, i am looking for the original thai to thai massage.

A friend told me about a school in BKK, sleeping buddha massage school or something like that? anybody heard of that?

Thanks!
