Land of Pleasures and Exotic Massage

In Thailand, massage is part of religion

The hot tropical climate attracts tourists to Thailand who wish to enjoy the warm waters of the seas surrounding this country. The golden beaches of the Gulf of Thailand, stretching for tens of kilometers, bring true pleasure, as do the high mountains and exotic jungles with flora and fauna unfamiliar to us.

Technological progress, expressed in the modern appearance of cities with many skyscrapers, is combined here with the rich national culture of Thailand, characteristic of Southeast Asian countries. Many Europeans have heard about the pleasures of famous Thai massage, perceiving it exclusively as a sexual service. In fact, Thai massage is part of a religion based on philosophical and medical traditions coming from the depths of centuries.

The exotic service is attractive because it does not require unique massage chairs for pleasure, nor any other technical novelties. Everything here is done exclusively with the body. The techniques and methods of erotic massage came from India and China. Erotic massage is intended to cleanse the soul and body of a person, relaxing him for normal circulation of energy.

According to ancient legend, massage was developed by a companion of Buddha, Doctor Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha, about 2500 years ago. Nowadays there are centers that train specialists, consisting of 6-7 levels. Massage begins with a relaxing dance to the scent of jasmine. Then, using techniques of 'Gongfu', the masseuse rubs aromatic oils into the client's skin through light movements and wave-like strokes. After that, the techniques of 'Tao' and 'Anmo' come into legitimate use, paying special attention to pressing and rubbing in the area of erogenous zones. As additional techniques, abdominal stroking 'Mofu' and touches with the chest and hair tips to the client may be performed.

Massage parlors in Thailand are cult zones of rest and relaxation that require special attention. The medical rationale of 'Nuad Phan Boran' (as the locals call the local massage) allows us to judge its effectiveness not only as a pleasure for men, but also from the point of view of the healing influence of its physical properties on the body. Often even skeptics, having first felt the power of the miraculous massage, change their opinion.
