Message from the Prime Minister

Hello, fellow Thai massage and spa professionals!

On behalf of the Thai Massage and Spa Association of America, I and the executive committee would like to welcome you all with open arms and full enthusiasm.

We have established a "Three Pillars" policy as a key tool to drive the association towards achieving its goals, namely:

1. Upgrading people — Creating clear and secure career paths, enabling members to work legally.

2. Upgrade your business — Support the sustainable growth of Thai massage and spa businesses, because we believe that massage spas should be owned by Thais.

3. Elevate Thai massage to an international level — Promote the art of Thai massage as a UNESCO World Heritage site, making it a source of pride for everyone.


Our vision is to have representatives of the association in every state across the United States, so that these three core policies reach all members comprehensively. No matter which state you are in, we are ready to support and assist our Thai massage and spa community.

We are confident that when we join forces under these three core pillars, we can build a strong network, protect rights, promote knowledge, drive business, and truly bring Thai massage to international recognition.

With love and faith.
