Nua’s Journal

Thai massage is one of the few traditional techniques in the world that combines assisted stretching, rhythmic pressure, and mindful movement — sometimes performed fully clothed, sometimes with oil. Unlike styles that aim purely for relaxation, Thai massage also works with energy lines (Sen), posture, and mobility. It’s both ancient and incredibly functional. And that’s just the start of what makes it different.

In traditional Thai oil massage, abdominal massage isn't an optional extra – it’s a natural part of a full-body treatment. And yet, many clients choose to skip this step, often feeling unsure or overly self-conscious. But what if this quiet center of your body holds more tension than you realize?

Every massage at Nua begins with a moment of choice. Before the first gentle touch, before the first breath of release — there is a decision: how do you want to feel today?

When you're finally on holiday, every day feels precious. You want to explore, relax, recharge — and make every moment count. But did you know that choosing the right time for massages can transform your vacation from good to unforgettable?

When you think of Thai massage, you might picture oils, creams, or relaxing spa treatments. But real, Authentic Thai Massage — the one we practice at Nua — is something entirely different.
