The Royal Style of Thai Massage: An Authentic Experience

To understand the true essence of Thai massage, it is important to differentiate it from the rural style or Thai chalosiak massage. The rural style is quite “liberal” in its approach and the Thai masseur can use any part of the body to apply pressure or acupressure. It is a close-contact massage that includes yoga-like stretches. On the other hand, the royal style is associated with southern-style Thai massage, which is considered therapeutic and intense. This type of massage was traditionally practiced in Thai royal courts for the aristocracy and high-ranking officials. The therapist enters the room on his knees, pays respects to the patient, and checks their pulse rate and air element before starting treatment. The therapist must remain on his knees during the session and keep a distance from the patient. They use only their thumbs, fingers, and palms to press acupressure points and must not cross the patient's body or breathe on them. Stretches are also considered rude.

It follows certain rules of non-intimacy, respect, courtesy, and treatment protocols. It is also known as Royal Massage, Royal Style, Cut Style, Rajasamnak Style or Nuad Rajchasumnak. In Thailand, this style of massage has become almost synonymous with giving therapeutic Thai massage and there are several treatment protocols or “acupressure recipes” that are applied to heal or treat ailments or individual diseases.
