Phuket Traditional Thai Massage School

About the school

This is the accredited option in Phuket, and the distinction matters: where most southern schools issue their own certificates, this one states that its curriculum has been approved by both the Thai Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Public Health, and that its certificates - issued in Thai and English - are recognised by the Ministry of Education. It teaches both Thai nationals and foreigners, and alongside short courses it runs long-form accredited Traditional Thai Medicine practice programmes, including a weekend-format route through the 800-hour Ministry of Public Health curriculum that leads toward Thai practitioner registration. A Thai medicine clinic operates alongside the school. The weekend format is genuinely unusual and makes the 800-hour qualification accessible to people living and working in Phuket who could not take two years off. It suits students who want government-recognised paper without going to Bangkok, and long-term residents of the island. It suits less well short-stay travellers wanting a quick certificate, for whom Suai is more convenient.
