Short Thai Massage Courses in Bangkok

Many visitors want to learn Thai massage while they are in Bangkok but only have a week or two. Here is what is realistic.

How long each course takes

Classes run 8 hours a day. The school is open Tuesday to Sunday, 08:30–17:00, so weekends count as study days.

If you have about one week

Take the 60-hour foot massage course. It is a complete, certified skill, it is gentle on your body, and it is one of the most requested treatments in any Thai spa.

If you have about three weeks

Take the 150-hour Thai massage course. This is the foundation that every other technique builds on.

If you are coming back to Thailand

Do a 60-hour course now and the 150-hour course on your next trip. Ask the school about scheduling before you book flights.

Fitting training into a Bangkok trip

• Stay on the BTS line. The campus is at Si La Salle station, so anywhere along the Sukhumvit line with a Yellow Line connection works
• Expect full days. 08:30–17:00 of hands-on practice is tiring. Plan sightseeing for Mondays, when the school is closed
• Bring comfortable clothes you can move and kneel in

One week fits a 60-hour course. Three weeks fits the full 150-hour Thai massage course. Not sure which suits you? Try the course finder or contact us.
