Best Time to Do This
Any time of year — this is an indoor therapy session, best scheduled as a restful afternoon or evening after a day of temple-hopping or hiking.
What to Expect
An ancient Lanna healing technique using a wooden mallet and wedge tapped rhythmically along the body's energy lines, distinct from standard Thai massage's stretching and pressure-point work. Practitioners are traditionally trained in the north, particularly around Chiang Mai and Lamphun, and the rhythmic tapping is said to ease muscle tension along nerve lines.
How to Prepare
Mention any injuries, pregnancy, or conditions like osteoporosis beforehand — the tapping technique isn't suitable for everyone. Loose, comfortable clothing is usually provided by the therapist; there's no need to bring anything specific.
