Enjoy the spa at Frangipani Royal Palace Hotel

The Chinese, Egyptians and Greek were the pioneers in ancient massage. The first document of massage therapy was found about 4000 years ago in ancient hieroglyphic readings.  The word “massage” comes from the Arabic word which means rub, touch or knead.  Massage has developed differently in different areas of the

world. Khmer Traditional Massage developed in the small villages as a healing method that applies pressure to the body’s energy meridian. It releases muscle tension, improves blood flow, and frees the body of toxins. The main benefit of massage is to create harmony physically, and mentally - to seek balance and wellbeing.
