From Wat Pho to Phuket Thai Massage in Glasgow
When you think of Thai massage, you likely imagine soothing pressure, rhythmic stretches, and deep relaxation. But did you know that this ancient healing practice has its roots in a sacred temple in Bangkok? At Phuket Thai Massage in Glasgow, we honor these deep traditions by offering authentic Thai massage inspired by its very birthplace — Wat Pho.
What Is Wat Pho?
Wat Pho, or Wat Phra Chetuphon, is a historic Buddhist temple in the heart of Bangkok, Thailand. Known for its impressive 46-meter-long Reclining Buddha statue, Wat Pho is more than just a tourist attraction — it’s the official birthplace of traditional Thai massage.
In the 1830s, King Rama III transformed Wat Pho into Thailand’s first public university, with a focus on Thai medicine, massage, and astrology. The temple became a center of learning, where ancient healing techniques were recorded on stone inscriptions, including diagrams of acupressure points and yoga-like postures that still guide Thai massage today.
Why This Matters to You
At Phuket Thai Massage in Glasgow, we draw from the very same teachings that originated at Wat Pho.
