Subject: Re: Massage Course -- may be from the original source directly ?
From: hans51-ga on 13 Mar 2004 20:32 PST
 
if you wish to make a vacation and to learn from the original source
of traditional Thai massage
 - then here a brief solution for you below:

many years ago - about mid 90ies - i made it myself - in Chiang Mai -
northern Thailand as part of my therapist education.
the below website is a local directory in Chiangmai and may offer some
additional local information as well - if needed.

http://www.chiangmaimall.com/tourism/massage.htm

the center of traditional thai massage i used - also mentionned on
above web site, is

at the 

The Old Chiang Mai Medical Hospital
This is Thailand's most vigorous and respected school. 
Massages cost 100Bt per hour and the average session lasts 2-3 hours.
Soi Sivaraj Komarapaj, (275085). 

they also offer a regular course / training ending with an exam and
certification. this training course was reasonable priced ( i forget
exact price but something like 100 US $ ) for the full 14 days )
and starts all year twice a month - the first Monday each months and
the first Monday after mid month and is conducted in a quiet
and nice atmosphere in the Old Chiang Mai Medical Hospital by professional staff.

while of course you may find similar courses also offered in Bangkok -
Chiangmai has the advantage that all is far cheaper for the cost of
living and accommodation and further more most importantly
Chiang Mai lies at the foot of a big jungle covered mountain in a
rather natural environment offering time and nature to relax after
study and practice.

Thailand and very specially Chiang Mai is a very suitable place to
learn the original traditional Thai Massage and considering the rather
low cost air fares and accommodation - it may be worthy alternate
solution to combine annual leave with education .

love and bliss
