🔸 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.
Our Signature Techniques
- 🌿 Deep tissue pressure
- 🌿 Therapeutic stretching
- 🌿 Intuitive healing touch
Rooted in over 17 years of full-time, hands-on experience — not theory, not trends, but real healing through real practice.
“Healing begins with the heart, guided by hands that understand and care.”
— Saowanee
🌿 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 signature style, known as the Alirantai Method — a flow-based therapeutic massage approach focusing on:

- 🌱 Energy balance

In 2025, Saowanee was awarded 2 Gold Medals at the Asian Massage Championship in the categories of Asian Massage and Freestyle Massage — demonstrating that traditional massage, when done with integrity and mastery, can achieve international recognition.
Her students also proudly brought home multiple awards at the Malaysia Massage Championship 2025, including:

🌱 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.
