There is a huge difference between a real Thai massage and an oil massage. If you get a real Thai massage, the massage person is all over you, bending you every which way but loose. It's important, then, to make as certain as you can that the person you choose has some kind of qualifications, since they're bending, cracking and twisting your entire body. I had a friend one time who spent a lot of time in traction and then in rehab because the person massaging him got something caught in between two of the vertebrates in his back. It took months to get it out...and he was in constant pain during the entire healing process.
Also, real Thai massages are given with the clothes on.
