🔸 Who We Are
We are more than a massage centre — we are a place of healing, transformation, and balance.
Our story didn’t begin in a clinic. It began with a dream — in a small space in Bangkok, Thailand, where Saowanee Panthong, a passionate young therapist, first mastered the art of Thai massage after completing her formal training.
From there, her journey continued to South Korea, where she gained international exposure and honed her skills in structured therapeutic techniques. But life had another plan — love brought her to Malaysia, where she later decided to make this country her second home.
In 2022, after years of practising privately and guiding others behind the scenes, Saowanee founded Saowanee Authentic Thai Massage — built not from capital, but from experience, dedication, and a calling to heal.
From humble beginnings, we’ve now become a professional and trusted name in Malaysia’s wellness scene, recognised for our original Thai techniques that blend:
Deep tissue pressure
Therapeutic stretching
Intuitive healing touch
All of it rooted in over 17 years of full-time, hands-on experience — not theory, not trends, but real healing through real practice.
🌿 Our Founder, Saowanee Panthong
Saowanee is a certified therapist under the Ministry of Public Health Thailand and has trained with respected Thai masters before developing her own style, now known as the Alirantai Method — a flow-based therapeutic massage approach that focuses on:
Structural alignment
Energy balance
Releasing deeply embedded tension
In 2025, she was awarded 2 Gold Medals in the Southeast Asia International Massage Championship — proving that traditional massage, when done with integrity and expertise, can reach international standards.
🌱 Built From Scratch, With Care
We didn’t start big. In fact, we started with zero employees, no fancy shop, and no external funding. Every client, every therapist, every success story — was built through commitment, word of mouth, and one healing session at a time.
Today, we have a growing team of certified therapists, and we continue to train new generations of therapists under our Professional Mentorship Program, so they too can heal others with confidence, skill, and ethics.
✨ Our Identity Today

At Saowanee Authentic Thai Massage, we don’t just give massages — we restore lives. And it all started with one pair of hands, and a belief that healing should be personal, professional, and powerful.
