System of Thai massage has a very long history of well over 2,500 years. It originated as a distillation of Indian Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese healing arts into a yoga-based method based on lines, points and remedies. Traditional Thai massage systems of Ayurvedic medicine owes much of its early systemisation, preservation, and subsequent propagation to Buddhists. As Thailand is located along the historical "Silk Road" trade route between India and China and as Buddhism spread out from India, through Thailand & into China this healing medicine spread along with it.
It found its way to Southeast-Asia where, for centuries, it was practiced by monks as one element of indigenous Thai medicine. Traditional Thai massage is available in Thailand from a vast array of sources & places, it is not only available through the boutique hotels & Spa Resorts that have been developed within the last few years all across the Kingdom, it is also practiced in shopping centres, airports, on the sides of streets & even on the beach !. Like this massage at Naiton Beach, Phuket, Thailand.
