What happens in a Pattaya massage depends heavily on the type of massage being received. Given that Pattaya is in Thailand, it's helpful to understand Traditional Thai massage.
A traditional Thai massage, also known as nuat thai, involves a combination of techniques. According to the reference provided, it's "a mixture of assisted yoga poses and acupuncture using hands."
Here's a breakdown:
-
Clothing: You are typically fully clothed during a traditional Thai massage.
-
Surface: The massage usually takes place on a thin, hard mattress.
-
Techniques: The massage therapist uses their hands to manipulate your body, guiding you into different yoga-like positions and applying acupressure.
Therefore, while the term "Pattaya massage" is broad, if it refers to Traditional Thai massage, you can expect a hands-on therapy involving assisted stretching and acupressure while fully clothed on a mat.
