Although Thai Traditional Medicine is heavily based on Ayurveda concepts and principles, it’s relatively rare to find Ayurveda training courses in Thailand. Moreover, as for Ayurveda College & University programs, those are simply absent.

We can only guess for the reasons of the limited Ayurveda training offerings: perhaps it’s because of Thailand’s own Traditional Healing Arts being rather dominant, or because of India being relatively close what would make studying Ayurveda Medicine in India feasible and logical. Nevertheless, allusions and references to Indian Ayurveda in relation to the Thai Healing Arts are quite often made by both training and treatment providers in Thailand.

But then, in this article we will take a look at various Thai Massage schools and other training centers in Thailand that offer Ayurveda or Ayurveda-based training. The most common Ayurvedic training modalities one encounters are Ayurveda Basic Concepts, Indian Head Massage (Shiroabhyanga or Champi), Full Body Oil Massage i.e. Abhyanga Massage, Shirodhara (pouring liquids over the forehead), Ayurvedic Cooking, Lifestyle, Diet & Nutrition.

The absolute winner is, perhaps not too surprising, the popular Indian Head Massage Spa training which is offered in a variety of training durations ranging from 1 up to 4 days (depending on the trainer).

Another notable development in past years, is the offering of Yoga trainings or Yoga Teacher trainings brought as Ayurveda Yoga. Most of the time these are training programs with somewhat more emphasis on Ayurveda concepts, Ayurveda Nutrition, Diets and Lifestyle. Although surely Indian Yoga draws from Ayurvedic concepts, we have not mentioned this type of (Yoga) trainings in the list below. We consider that something rather different.
