The key differences are technique, setting and purpose. Thai massage uses stretching, compression and acupressure with the client clothed on a mat: it's more active and energising. Swedish massage uses long gliding strokes and kneading with oil on a massage table: it's more passive and deeply relaxing. Thai massage also works with energy lines, while Swedish focuses primarily on muscle relaxation through the superficial tissue layers.

Thai massage is an ancient healing system combining assisted yoga-like stretching, rhythmic acupressure along energy pathways (called 'sen lines') and passive joint mobilisation. Unlike most Western massage styles, traditional Thai massage is performed on a mat on the floor with the client fully clothed. Sessions are active and energising rather than purely relaxing: often described as 'yoga done to you'.
