If you would like to gain a deeper understanding of the art of Traditional Thai Massage, there is the opportunity to extend your stay, or return anytime. Students have the possibility of repeating the entire program or parts of the program with more depth and precision. 


Traditionally, this is the way to experience Thai Massage, following in the footsteps of well-established practitioners in Thailand today.


You can express your desire to stay longer before you come to Thailand or after the first month. Feel free to discuss your thoughts with teacher MAC, who will be happy to help provide the best options for you on your journey learning the fine art of Thai Massage.


MAC does not deliver any "teacher diploma", but he will give you his frank and professional opinion about your project.
