The Japan Traditional Thai Massage Association is a public association established with the objective in mind to popularize Thai massage, and make people more aware of its existence and benefits.
There are many activities for people who have traditional Thai massage skills, people who
have opened up salons and are practising, or people who are just interested in learning more.
It is not an association out to make a profit, we genuinely want to invite people to join and to learn and share more about traditional Thai massage.
There is no obligation to join in the activities listed below, and there is no costs or charges involved at all. The Japan Traditional Thai Massage Association acts as the epicenter where activities take place to increase the awareness of Thai massage in Japan.

The Nuad Bo'Rarn School Japan Phone: 81-3-5790-8164 The association has opened its own affiliated traditional Thai massage school "Nuad Bo'Rarn" as one way to popularize this art. Every month, the school has a free trial seminar for anyone interested to experience, and learn a little Thai massage. We invite you to come along and try! We also have seminars happening at irregular intervals which can be used to consult about opening up salons, or exchange information with other members. For people who have the traditional Thai massage qualifications and are thinking about opening up their own shop, we recommend the Nuad Bo'Rarn Advanced course and also the liability insurance we can cover you with.

Under Japanese law, traditional Thai massage is not recognized by the medical profession. However, it is possible to open up a salon under the category of service profession. However, one must not assume that all customers will be in a healthy state. Stimulation is given by applying pressure, and it is possible that an accident could occur. In Japan, if this kind of accident occurs,
it may be required that you pay some tens of million yen. For members who would like to see the documentation on liability insurance, please send us some mail, and we will send it out to you.
There are several specialists for the association. When a member has some legal problem, please use the services of these lawyers. Opening a salon requires taking a challenge. We want to make sure our members also do this safely.

In addition to becoming a member, you may also sign up for the free mail magazine (in Japanese).
