Learn Thai Massage — 150-Hour Professional Certificate Course

Short answer

The 150-hour Thai Massage for Health course is the minimum standard set by Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health for anyone who wants to register legally as a health massage practitioner. It takes about 19 days, awards a bilingual certificate, and qualifies you to file for the SorPorSor.14 licence. Tuition is 4,900 THB.

Thai massage is the foundation of every massage career in Thailand. If you are serious about this profession, the 150-hour course is the first credential you need — it is the minimum contact-hour requirement set by the Department of Health Service Support for licensing.

At Michael Thai Massage School we do not teach you to memorise routines. We teach you to read the body: the sen lines, the signal points, and the pressure control that makes a client come back to you again and again.

Over 90% of our students had never given a massage before enrolling, and they graduate ready to work.
