For American bodywork students or therapists who want to study Thai Massage in Thailand and at the same time seek NCBTMB Continuing Education points there’s good news. It’s possible!
However, there are not many NCBTMB certified Thai Massage schools, teachers or courses in Thailand. Then again, there are certainly a few options. Be aware that not all courses of these training schools count towards CE points. Be sure to check the school’s website or inquire explicitly what courses or workshops are eligible.
Another way to make sure the courses offered count towards CE points is simply checking the NCBTMB website. The appointed schools in Thailand are listed.
Okay then, let’s take a look at the schools in Thailand that got their blessing from the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork aka the NCBTMB:
