At Loft Thai Spa, we believe that healing is an art, rooted in tradition yet refined by excellence. This June 2025, we are incredibly proud to announce a milestone that not only honors our values but also puts Thai wellness on the global map. Varinraya Ketngam, master therapist at Nakhon Spa, our prestigious luxury spa brand, will represent Thailand at the 8th World Massage Championship in Copenhagen. It is an event that brings together the most accomplished massage therapists from around the world—and it is a moment of pride for us, our clients, and all who seek the best massage in Bangkok.
Held from June 27 to 29, 2025, this international competition is the most prestigious in the world of professional massage therapy. Following an inspiring performance that placed us 4th at the European Massage Championship, Varinraya Ketngam is set to once again showcase the unique touch and deep-rooted wisdom of Thai healing on the global stage.
The World Massage Championship is more than a competition; it is a celebration of therapeutic excellence and innovation. Created to give therapists a platform to present their signature techniques, it attracts hundreds of professionals each year who demonstrate not only their skills but also their dedication to advancing massage as a healing discipline. Competitors are judged on their technique, creativity, flow, and ability to deliver real therapeutic benefit. The event begins with a cultural walk through the heart of Copenhagen and continues with the IMA Educational Conference, offering a wealth of knowledge to both therapists and wellness enthusiasts.
For this international showcase, Nakhon Spa has chosen to present a treatment that represents the pinnacle of traditional Thai healing with a modern therapeutic twist: the Thai Herbal Compress Head Therapy. This deeply restorative technique reflects the holistic philosophy at the heart of what we do, and it’s a treatment that perfectly complements the range of advanced wellness rituals offered at both Loft Thai Spa and Nakhon Spa.
The Thai Herbal Compress Head Therapy focuses on the upper body, targeting the head, neck, and shoulders—areas most often affected by stress, tension, and fatigue. What makes this therapy so powerful is its elegant fusion of traditional Indian head massage techniques and the warmth of herbal compresses made with Thai botanicals. Steamed cloth pouches filled with turmeric, ginger, lemongrass, kaffir lime, and camphor are applied rhythmically, allowing the heat and herbal medicine to penetrate deeply into the muscles and nervous system.
The result is an exceptional release of physical and emotional tension. The treatment stimulates blood flow, promotes detoxification through lymphatic drainage, and enhances focus and clarity. It also contributes to healthier scalp conditions and even promotes hair growth. These benefits are both immediately felt and long-lasting, making it a popular treatment among professionals, travelers, and wellness seekers alike.
This is one of the many reasons clients consistently return to Nakhon Spa and Loft Thai Spa when searching for the best massage Bangkok has to offer. Our treatments are more than pampering—they are therapeutic journeys designed to elevate both body and mind.
But it’s not only our massages that stand out. Loft Thai Spa is equally renowned for its facial experiences, which have gained a strong reputation as among the best facials in Bangkok. Our facial treatments blend the precision of European skincare science with the nurturing techniques of Thai wellness. We use only premium brands like HydraFacial Syndeo, Guinot, and Filorga, all expertly applied by trained estheticians who tailor every session to your skin’s specific needs.
These facials are not just cosmetic—they address deep skin health issues, from dehydration and dullness to signs of aging and environmental stress. At our EMSPHERE branch and other boutique locations, we’ve created an environment where skincare meets soulful relaxation. Clients enjoy a multisensory experience enhanced by ambient music, aromatherapy, and the signature warm Thai welcome that has become our hallmark.
The performance of Varinraya Ketngam on the world stage is a reflection of our core mission. At Loft Thai Spa and Nakhon Spa, we are committed to preserving Thai traditions while raising the bar of spa experiences globally. We train every therapist in-house through our accredited programs, ensuring that every guest receives the same high standard of care, no matter where they visit us.
To be recognized at a global level, however, is not just about competition. It’s about validation of our continued efforts to elevate Thai massage and facial therapy into a category of luxury and wellness that is respected across cultures. The participation of our master therapist in Copenhagen highlights how Loft Thai Spa and Nakhon Spa are leading this movement—not only through quality service but through innovation, education, and international presence.
Copenhagen, with its relaxed charm and appreciation for health-conscious living, is the perfect backdrop for this celebration of global wellness. The city’s modern yet serene aesthetic mirrors our own approach to spa design. From Bangkok to Scandinavia, the pursuit of well-being is becoming increasingly refined—and Loft Thai Spa is proud to be part of that evolution.
Whether you are a seasoned spa lover or new to wellness treatments, this is the perfect moment to experience what world-class Thai massage feels like. Loft Thai Spa and Nakhon Spa offer a full range of services that integrate ancestral healing with modern therapy, placing us firmly among the best massage Bangkok destinations for discerning clientele. And for those seeking visible, glowing skin supported by scientific skincare, we are also proud to deliver the best facial Bangkok guests could ask for.
We invite all our clients and followers to support Varinraya Ketngam and follow our journey during the 8th World Massage Championship. You’ll find behind-the-scenes updates, video highlights, and insights into our championship preparation across our blog and social media channels. And most importantly, we invite you to visit Loft Thai Spa and Nakhon Spa to discover first-hand what makes our treatments truly award-worthy.
This is not just about a competition. It’s about a global recognition of the healing power of Thai massage. It’s about celebrating a therapist’s dedication, and about welcoming you—our guest—into an experience of care that is crafted with heart, skill, and centuries of wisdom.
