5.0 out of 5 stars A must buy book for everyone!, May 17, 2003

By	Feri (Slovenia) - See all my reviews

It's a perfect book if you are a beginner. With this book you will quickly master the basic techniques and stances. Clear step-by-step instructions with a lot of photographs, artworks and tip boxes. Thai bodywork is also known as Thai massage. The techniques and movements in this book are known as the "northern-style", they are practised throughout Thailand in preference to the "southern style", which is known as the "hard style" and is practised mainly in Bangkok.
