Thai Massage School in Thailand – Luampo´s Legacy

Thai Massage School in Thailand | The massage technique by Luampo

Luampo, October 2492 – December 2557 (Buddhist year), devoted his life to traditional Thai medicine since the age of 15. The beginnings of his journey in therapy began with his relationship with his neighbour, whom remained confined to a chair unable to walk, due to a degenerative disease. Luampo took it upon himself to help this man and started massaging him daily. The result was that the neighbour began to walk again and from that point, Luampo decided to dedicate his life to learning massage.

Luampo began his monastic life at 37 years old. He went to “Tudon”, which means that he decided to become a “wandering monk”. The monks who choose this path enter the forest to meditate and survive on what the forest has to offer.

It was during this experience where he began his interest on medicinal plants. From that point, Luampo didn´t stop traveling, learning with different therapists and creating his own work technique.
In his travels from temple to temple he treated the needy monks. Because of the effectiveness of his treatments, he began to gain a great reputation in Thailand. So much so, that he was called to treat a Luang Ta Maja Bua (one of the most revered and respected monks in the country) when he lost mobility because of an accident. After his therapy, Luang Ta Maja Bua gained his mobility and Luampo became one of the most important monk therapists in Thailand. Luampo spent his entire life traveling his home country, learning ancient techniques and remedies from the hill tribes.
