Restorative Massage Crafted for Thai Royalty
Thailand, a sanctuary of Eastern wellness, offers profound healing experiences. In Bangkok, the Wat Pho Traditional Thai Medical & Massage School is revered as a spiritual heart of traditional Thai medicine and healing knowledge.
The Peninsula Spa is now introducing a treatment developed in collaboration with the Wat Pho Temple (Wat Pho Massage School). As this is a royal style created for Thai royalty, it does not involve the bold techniques characteristic of Thai massage, such as straddling or stepping on the guest's body. Instead, therapists provide a meticulous treatment while maintaining a respectful distance.


The menu features 80- and 110-minute courses incorporating massage techniques based on traditional Thai medicine, designed for health restoration and enhancement.
This combination of massage, acupressure, and stretching gently loosens joints, releases muscle tension, and promotes a supple body. Relief can be expected for a range of conditions including stiffness, headaches, muscle fatigue, and lower back pain.
Furthermore, it stimulates blood circulation and boosts metabolism, thereby strengthening the lymphatic system. This is said to enhance immunity against various ailments.
The 110-minute treatment also includes the use of warm herbal compresses on the back, a practice rooted in traditional Thai medicine, to guide you into deep relaxation.
