Beginner's Traditional Thai Massage Course at Sunshine
About The Beginner's Course
This is the foundation upon which all Thai Massage courses are based, and without a strong foundation it is difficult to progress in this healing art.
If you have no prior experience of Traditional Thai Massage
You have found the right place to start along your path. The beginner's course is a strong and rich foundation on which further study can be built.
If you have studied Thai massage with another school or with another teacher,
You are most welcome. We recommend that you take the course outlined on this page before considering one of our Advanced massage courses.
Overview of Our Primary Thai Massage Training
Our Beginner’s Course offers a structured 10-day journey into traditional Thai massage, covering everything from foundational history and theory, to more advance techniques like stretching.
Each day focuses on different body areas or massage techniques, including foot and ankle, single and double leg stretches, and specialized techniques for the stomach, chest, arms, and back,... Students will also learn traditional Thai methods for the neck, face, and head, and have ample practice opportunities.
A whole-body massage practice session on Day 9 gives students the chance to receive detailed feedback. The final day reviews the concept of the ten main energy lines (sen lines), and their therapeutic value.
The course is taught in English, but course materials are available in multiple languages to accommodate students from around the world.

❝ Just wrapped up an amazing 60-hour 10 day Thai Massage beginner course in Chiang Mai Thailand with Sunshine Massage School.
This experience was INCREDIBLE. I came in knowing very little about Thai massage, but left learning so much about Thai culture and can now confidently give a 2+ hour Thai massage. The school is cozy and my teacher Susie was nothing but remarkable. My only regret was not staying longer to further my advancement in learning!❞

❝ Absolutely 💯 good experience here.
This was my first experience learning massage, I took the 60 hrs course and my teacher was Lay. I learned so much and after two weeks I can say with confidence I can give a good Thai massage. Our teacher was amazing with good patience and knowledge. The school is beautiful, clean and well equipped. And the method of studying and practice is very efficient.
Also I stayed in old city and was only like a 30 min walk which I really enjoyed everyday, but you also have ways commute options.
I can say that you will build knowledge, technique and confidence in a 2 week course for a really fair price.
Thanks to everyone in Sunshine school for this lovely experience.❞
