Chiang Mai - Anyone took course at Thai Massage School?
 
Hello, I am thinking of taking a Thai massage course at the Thai Massage School in Chiang Mai before going on a tour to Vietnam next March.
Would love to have any feedback if possible of the school and the course.
Thanks in advance.

Teresa,

Do it! I took basic Thai massage classes there and it was definitely worth it. Everyone at the school is so kind. The experience was awesome and I love my new message skills!

Mhillenbrand, thnaks so much for your reply.
I was also thinking of taking the 3 day basic course but I am afraid it won't be enough to learn it. Do you think it's enough ? Do you fell at ease doing massages with the Basic?
A couple ofquestions: is it easy to go to the school from the center of Chiang Mai? I am thinking of staying in Tamarind Village.

Is lunch included in the price of the course?

Thanks again:)

Forgot to ask one more thing! Did you have enough time to visit the sites in Chinag Mai on the days of the course? I don't know exactly how many days I should book my stay there.

I have just completed my 3-week massage course in Thai Massage School of Chiang Mai (TMC). It is really fun. I am not sure how a 3-day course structured but you should be able to learn most of the steps in 3 days as well.

The school provides transportation to and from school and vegetarian lunch is also provided.
