The efficacy of traditional Thai massage in relieving muscular pain and stiffness is being accepted by more and more people who have tried it. There is a place in Bangkok which has gained wide fame for teaching massage and providing massage service, i.e., the Thai Traditional Medical and Massage School located inside Wat Pho* or Wat Phra Chetuphon, also known to foreigners as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. In addition, traditional Thai massage can be obtained at several leading hotels and massage parlours.
