These intense massages focus on deep muscles and stretching your ligaments. On the street, you may encounter shops offering foot massages. These thirty minute sessions will do wonders for your feet and consequently, your whole body. It must be noted that Wat Po is the headquarters for the art of traditional Thai massage.
