He studied medicine and was the physician of kings, noblemen and the Buddha. Thai massage has two traditions: the rural and the Royal tradition. Rural tradition is passed down orally from the teacher to its pupils. The Royal tradition which is the one we offer, was developed at the royal court and shows influence from Indian Ayurvedic medicine, China (TCM) and Muslim medicine.
