You will remain fully clothed for a Thai massage, so you should wear clothing that is comfortable and can stretch easily.

The therapist uses their hands (thumbs, elbows, forearms) and sometimes, even their feet to reduce tension in the muscles. The massage does not use oils or lotions. The therapist will move the person's body into yoga-like positions (assisted yoga) in addition to pulling and rocking the body in various other ways.

Many people prefer to keep their underwear on during a massage, while others prefer to be nude. It's up to you. Women usually remove their bras to allow the massage therapist to work on the back and shoulder area without getting massage oil or lotion on the bra.

Thai massage incorporates stretching, compression, and acupressure techniques, focusing on energy lines and holistic healing, while regular massage techniques typically involve rubbing, kneading, and pressure on soft tissues.
