Known in Bangkokนวดแผนโบราณ (Nuat phaen boran, IPA, which correctly translates only as ancient thai massage spa or traditional massage, this form of Thai massages spa is also known as Thai ancient massage, traditional Thai massage spa, Thai physical massage, Thai yoga massage, yoga massages, Bangkok classical thai massage spa, Thai bodywork, passive yoga, or assisted yoga. It is usually soothing because of its emphasis on stretching and loosening the body.

Originating in India and drawing from Ayurveda, it has inevitably incorporated modalities like yoga. The receiver is put into many yoga like positions during the course of the thai massage spa. In the northeren style there are a lot of stretching movements unlike the southern style where pressure is emphasised. It was believed that the thai massage spa art was brought over to Bangkok by a Dr Shivago K.,a contemporary of Buddha almost about 2500 years ago.

The thai massage spa recipient changes into pajamas and lies on a mat or firm mattress on the floor. (It can be done solo or in a group of a dozen or so patients in the same large room.) The thai massage spa giver leans on the recipient's body using hands and forearms to apply firm rhythmic pressure to almost every part of the taker's body.
