In this post, we give you an overview of Thai Massage and Thai Spa academies in Bangkok that offer Hot Stone Massage courses and workshops.
In recent years, Thai Massage training centers have increasingly embarked on offering more Western style Spa & Wellness massage and bodywork training courses. One of the most popular emerging modalities is so-called Hot Stone Massage.


Although not new, and used already thousands of years ago in, for instance, India and China, hot and cold stone massages have become a prominent treatment service item on modern Spa menus.
Hot Stone Massage is a massage therapy treatment that uses smooth and heated stones (mostly basalt stone) placed on specific points on the body, or … holding or using the stones while giving a massage session. The stones are typically heated in water with a temperature between 45-60 °C (Celsius).
The heat and weight of the stones warm-up and relax the muscles, stimulate blood circulation, allowing the massage therapist to apply deep pressure to the warmed-up zones without causing discomfort.
In any case, below then an overview of massage academies and trainers in Bangkok that offer Hot Stone Massage courses and workshops.
