Wat Po Thai massage goes international
at Phothalai The Thai Wellness Center

The legend of Thai massage and medicine began more than two centuries ago at Wat Po – a temple which also became Thailand’s first ever university. Wat Po is a bastion of Thai medical heritage and thai massage, and with astonishing foresight the temple founded the Wat Po Traditional Medical School more than 60 years ago.

Recently, the forth generation of the founding family, which has ties with Wat Po going back over 80 years, and was instrumental in helping Wat Po’s traditional medical school become a reality, has helped create Phothalai.

Phothalai is dedicated to preserving Thailand’s medical heritage and transforming it into a lifestyle choice in the form of traditional Thai massage and Thai Spa treatments laid out in tranquil setting.

Set over 16 -acres, Phothalai is the kingdom’s largest traditional Thai massage and Thai Spa complex. Serenity reigns supreme in each and every corner of the three spacious buildings, named Po Kaew, Po Nguen and Po Thong.

At the root of all Thai massage knowledge at Phothalai is Dr Chivagagomarathat, a doctor of the Lord Buddha. According to his teachings every Thai massage and Thai Spa must be attuned to the individual’s body flow, helping them achieve a state of utter relaxation.

At Phothalai you will have the opportunity to experience ‘first touch’, our unique Thai massage style, delivered by our highly trained professional therapists. You are invited to join us and experience the welcome only true guardians of the heritage of Thai massage can give.

Take time to relax and enjoy your wellbeing. Phothalai promises an unforgettable Thai massage experience.
