Wat Po Thai massage goes international at Phothalai The Thai Wellness Center, the legend of Thai massage and medicine began more than two centuries ago at Wat Po – a temple which also became Thailand’s first ever university. Wat Po is a bastion of Thai medical heritage and thai massage, and with astonishing foresight the temple founded the Wat Po Traditional Medical School more than 60 years ago. Recently, the forth generation of the founding family, which has ties with Wat Po going back over 80 years, and was instrumental in helping Wat Po’s traditional medical school become a reality, has helped create Phothalai.

Phothalai is dedicated to preserving Thailand’s medical heritage and transforming it into a lifestyle choice in the form of traditional Thai massage and Thai Spa treatments laid out in tranquil setting. Set over 16 -acres, Phothalai is the kingdom’s largest traditional Thai massage and Thai Spa complex. Serenity reigns supreme in each and every corner of the three spacious buildings, named Po Kaew, Po Nguen and Po Thong.

At the root of all Thai massage knowledge at Phothalai is Dr Chivagagomarathat, a doctor of the Lord Buddha.
