O! now I get. Thi massage is some modification of some part of yoga.
Yeah It reminds some phenomena in Christian religion.
Maybe you ‘ve heard about Santa Claus ( Father Frost, ) who is legendary Christmas gift-bringer. Children all over the world believe ( when I was a child I believe it too) that Santa Claus come on Chrismas night and put presents into your stockings or under the decorated fir tree.
The main thing is that the prototype of the Christmas gift-bringer was the bishop Nicolas who lived in Asia Minor int the fourth century and was famous for his generosity and kindness and he is considered a principle saint of one of the branch of Christianity that is called Orthodoxy

Hi Yulia,
The fact about ‘Wat’ in old Thai culture is, not only it is a place for spritual and sacred purposes but also it is considered as a center of basic educational purposes as well.
In a very old days when there was no modern school. Many men (since at young age, like 7-8) in that period get education from Wat. They learn to read and write Balee and Sanskrit and Thai language from monks.
Thai massage is modified from Yoga which is from India, the brith place of Buddhism.
Actually, Yoga is considered as philosophy or science to maintain heathy condition for ..ascetics and monks.
And the ancient scripts about Yoga and traditional medicine were transfered along with the Buddha’s teaching.

O! It’s so unusual that the Temple of Buddha is the birthplace of Thi massage.
In Russia massage cannot have any relations to religion and the temples ( the Orthodoxy Churches)
