Sabai De Ka Massage is a well-known Thai Massage School located in Chiang Mai, near the Tha Phae Gate (on the eastern side of the Old City).
About the School
The school was founded by Thanyanet Pothamoon, better known by her nickname Kloy. Kloy is originally from Lamphun (a bit South of Chiang Mai and also part of the old Lanna Kingdom) and started to learn Thai Massage from her mother when she was a teenager.
After that, she developed her academic education and continued to develop her massage education and opened the school in 2004, offering Thai massage and Spa services and treatments.
The school grew because of high demand, and Kloy also started to offer training courses. Nowadays she focuses only on teaching — but the school still has a team that continues to provide spa services. According to the website, the school offers a personalized, relaxed and friendly atmosphere for the students, and is open daily from 10 am to 4:30 pm.
