Outdoor Thai massage. It's on the white sand beach.

Ancient Massage or Thai Massage is an extraordinary method of aligning the energies of the body, and originates from the time of the Buddha.

Nuad Phaen Boran as is it called in Thailand, correctly translates only as Ancient Massage or Traditional Massage. More widely known today as Thai Massage, it is also often called Traditional Thai Massage, Ancient Thai Massage and occasionally Yoga Massage or Thai Yoga Massage. In our web pages, we wanted to use only Ancient Massage to be faithful to the original appellation but had to change our mind and also use Thai Massage to be referenced correctly by the search engines and so forth. If we did not use the words "Thai Massage", who would have found us and the information we wanted to share with students, researchers and practitioners of this art.


Testimonial

My first experience with Thai Massage was, simply put, transforming. I had been dealing with a few sports/exercise-related injuries, aches and pains for a number of years. While I was able to find a certain level of relief from other modalities (acupuncture, traditional massage, physical therapy), the pain in most of my areas was completely alleviated after only one session of Thai Massage! No one was more surprised at it's immediate effecicacy than I was...what a joy to experience such pain relief after trying so many different things. And the treatment itself feels wonderful!! I would recommend it to anyone.

Underwater Wedding ceremony. No.1 in the world in Thailand

KRADAN ISLAND is the place for "The Underwater Wedding Ceremony", to remind the rest of the world that the Underwater Wedding Ceremony take place in Trang province every Valentine's Day at Kradan island, Kradan Paradise Beach, with its pure white sand, clean blue sea and natural environment, is the location where the ceremony is taken place.

Partly due to its widely publicized "Largest Underwater Wedding Ceremony" which earns it an entry in the Guinness Book of Records, Koh Kradan is now one of the best known islands. The innovative 'weddings underwater' first launched in 1997, is now an annual Valentine's Day event which attracts more people every year, who sign marine marital commitments in Scuba gear at a depth of 12 metres. This ceremony is held for the first time as a part of the Underwater Wedding Ceremony in order to fully complete the Thai traditional wedding ceremony. This tradition is believed to bring peace and long lasting relationship to the couples.

The Underwater marriage registration will be held 12 meters under the sea in front of Kradan island, Kradan Paradise Beach. The brides and grooms, separated will dive down into the blue sea, filled with colorful fish school, to the white sand ocean floor. There, they will meet with the district officer who will witness and approve their marriage certificate. All prospective newly-weds holding an international divers license may participate





Awesome!
Who want to marry me? Hands'up! LOL.


LEt's go Thailand. YEAH!!

The Fullmoon party. Let's Hang out!

It was only to be expected that as Samui itself became more mainstream, the backpacker set would look for newer places off the beaten track (read: cheap). As it turns out, they didn't have to look far. A short ferry ride north from Samui brings you to Pangan.



Even smaller than Samui, most of Pangan is still in pristine condition and the best way to get around the island, from one beach to another, is by boat. This is not to say the island is completely unspoiled. On the night of each full moon, the main beach plays host to the "full moon party", a night of complete, drug induced debauchery, if you believe the press.


Hey! you know what dude~

There will be the big secret party in every Full moon night.

Check this website! It's absolutely 100% English. My friends from USA read it everyday. It shows what's going on in the Island.
