Undskyld men der er ikke noget der er den sydlige stil eller den nordlige.
Shivago Komarpaj var simpelthen op[finderen af Thai Massage. Ogsaa den der bruges ved Wat Po.

The origin of Thai massage as it is now practised is attributed to the legendary figure of Jivaka Kumar Baccha, known in Thailand as Shivago Komarpaj. Jivaka lived approximately 2000 years ago and was the royal physician to King Bimbisara of Magadha, now part of Bihar. The king appointed him to personally supervise the health of the Buddha and his followers, and he is mentioned in the Pali canon, the scriptures of Theravada Buddhism.To what extent Chinese concepts of traditional medicine influenced Thai massage remains debatable. The knowledge was transmitted orally for centuries, being first recorded in Pali, using Khmer script, in the 17th century. These texts were treated with the same respect as the Buddhist scriptures. In 1767, the old capital of Thailand, Ayuttaya, was overrun by the Burmese, who destroyed most of the texts. The surviving fragments were collected, and under the order of King Rama III engraved in stone. They can now be seen in the temple of Wat Pho in Bangkok.
