WatPho Therapies

Wat Pho Etiquette
Unfortunately Thailand, due to complex socio-economic factors, has become a destination for sex tourism. A minority of young women desperate to support their families have decided to make money through prostitution, sometimes through no choice of their own. This has led to some massage parlors becoming a front for brothels and consequently Thai massage has gained a bad reputation. However, the ancient Buddhist traditions of genuine Thai massage existed well before this and continue to do so within many massage practices. Please be aware that Wat pho Therapies is based on the Buddhist principles of respect and dignity. We offer high quality massage treatments and massage treatments only. THIS IS NOT A SEXUAL SERVICE
