My friend Steve is a certified massage therapist here in US. He is interested in coming with me on
my next trip to Thailand and taking Thai massage classes.

I heard Wat Pho has classes and it sounds like it is the place to go.

Anyone have any comments or other recommendations?

Thanks!

I have always enjoyed massage by folks trained at Wat Po including those where you actually go to Wat PO to get a massage. I prefer many of their techniques. Many of the better masseurs I have experienced (for true massage) have been trained at Wat Po. I especially like the technique where they massage the large inner muscle of your leg with their feet or toes as they sit opposite you. I think the course is like two weeks or something like that and while expensive by Thai standards, I think is quite reasonable.
