Thai massage originated 2,500 years ago by Jiwakumabacha, the Indian king of ancient India and the physician of the Buddha. Now Jiwakumabacha is still regarded as the father of medicine by Thais, so thai massage is also a branch of medicine. On the other hand, thai massage is based on ancient Indian yoga. Later, this kind of massage spread to Thailand with Jiwakumabacha's apprentice. Because Jiwakumabacha himself is a Buddhist, thai massage was introduced to the Thai royal family with Buddhism, and then from the royal family to the Thai people.
The biggest difference between thai massage and Chinese massage lies in the different ways. Thai massage starts with the feet, while Chinese massage starts with the head. In thai massage, there are strict procedures for operation, which basically takes 90 minutes, that is, 1.5 hours, because thai massage is based on ancient Indian yoga, and later it emerged in Thailand through improvement and continuous exploration. Therefore, thai massage gave his guests a passive yoga exercise to repair their bodies, while Chinese massage mainly focuses on meridians and acupoints, so there is still a big difference between them.
Thai massage massages the meridians first, then moves the joints, and finally stretches yoga, which is equivalent to giving our bodies a passive gymnastics event. There are 108 links in the whole process, so there is a strict operation process, which usually takes more than 90 minutes. Masseurs usually kneel on the floor and use fingers, palms, arms, elbows, knees, heels, legs and other limbs alternately. Thai fist clenching and chopping are softened, including pressing, kneading, pushing, taking, touching, pulling, kneading, pinching, punching and pedaling. The whole process is quite tiring, but for tourists, it is a kind of enjoyment.
The charge for about one hour starts from RMB in 40 yuan. If it is a popular location, it may start in 60 yuan. When choosing, everyone should judge from the whole, such as the charge, the enthusiasm of the service personnel, the vision of the service personnel and the operation process. The process in a regular store is very solemn. You wash your feet first, then put on loose clothes, and then the service staff will give you a massage.
