If any of this sounds like you, you are in the right place

What we hear every single day from people who walk through our door

  • My salary is not enough — I want a skill I own, not a job I wait for
  • I am getting older and afraid of being laid off; I want work I can do for life
  • I studied elsewhere but still cannot massage confidently enough to take a client
  • I have a certificate, but it cannot be used to register and nobody will hire me
  • I want to open my own shop but have no idea where to start
  • I want to work abroad but do not know which documents I need

Short answer

Every one of those is why Michael Thai Massage School exists. We do not sell certificates. We teach you to actually massage — then walk you into real work.

The questions we are asked most

Where is the best place to learn Thai massage in Thailand?
Judge a Thai massage school on four things: the curriculum must be accredited by the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Public Health, or the certificate cannot be used to register as a licensed therapist; the health-massage course must run the full 150 hours; you must practise on real clients, not just watch videos; and there should be after-graduation support such as free refresher classes and job placement. Michael Thai Massage School meets all four and has campuses in Bangkok (BTS Si La Salle) and Pattaya.
How much does a Thai massage course cost?
Tuition at Michael Thai Massage School is 4,900 THB per course — Thai massage 150 hours, oil massage 150 hours, foot reflexology 60 hours or facial massage 60 hours. That price includes your practice kit, equipment, the bilingual certificate and free lifetime refresher classes. The full Professional Therapist package covering every core course is 19,990 THB, down from 65,900 THB. Instalments are available and receipts are issued.
I have no experience at all — can I still learn?
Absolutely. Over 90% of our students have never given a massage before. Every course starts from zero, and instructors correct your technique individually until you can work on your own.
How long does massage training take?
A 150-hour course (Thai or oil massage) takes about 19 days; a 60-hour course (foot or facial) takes about 8 days at 8 hours per day. Weekend and evening schedules are available for people with full-time jobs.
Can I really register as a licensed practitioner after graduating?
Yes. Our 150-hour curriculum is accredited by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Public Health — the contact-hour requirement set by the Department of Health Service Support for the SorPorSor.14 health massage practitioner registration. We prepare the documents and walk you through every step.
Is the job placement real?
Yes. We maintain a network of shops, spas and hotels that hire our graduates continuously. Referrals are free and never expire — you can come back for a new referral at any point in your career.
How much can a massage therapist earn?
Full-time graduates of our courses earn a minimum of 40,000–80,000 THB per month. Health massage shops pay 40,000–60,000 THB; 4–5 star hotel spas 50,000–80,000 THB including tips; independent therapists with regular clients 60,000–120,000 THB; and shop owners who manage well earn 150,000 THB and above.
Which course should I start with?
If you are committed to this as a long-term career and want to be licensed, start with Thai massage 150 hours — it is the foundation of everything else. If you need to start earning fastest on a limited budget, start with foot reflexology 60 hours and return for the 150-hour course later.
Which days is the school open, and at what times?
Both campuses — Bangkok (Si La Salle) and Pattaya (Nong Prue) — are open every day from 08:30 to 17:00 and closed on Mondays. You can message us on LINE at any hour; we usually reply within minutes.
