Tok Sen Wat Srisuphan: A traditional Tok Sen Massage on the grounds of the Silver Temple in Chiang Mai

Back in 2023 we got invited by TAT (the Tourism Authority of Thailand) to discover some of the unique Thai Wellness experiences during our Mae Hong Son adventure. Tok Sen Wat Srisuphan given by therapist and owner Nun was one of these experiences and it was very special. A must visit when you are in Chiang Mai!


The most unique massage we have ever had the pleasure of receiving is that of wellness experience number four, a Tok Sen massage! In the back of the grounds of the Wat Sri Suphan, better known as the Silver Temple of Chiang Mai, there is a small booth where two very friendly ladies work. This couple specializes in the ancient Tok Sen massage technique, which originated in the Lanna region in northern Thailand. A Tok Sen massage uses a wooden hammer and pin, often made from the bark of the tamarind tree. The wooden hammer is rhythmically tapped on a pin that runs along the body’s energy lines. 

Unlike other massage techniques, Tok Sen can penetrate deeper muscle layers. This makes this massage technique great for relieving muscle tension and knots. Some other possible benefits include relief of stiffness and (muscle) pain, it acts as an energy booster and offers improvement in blood circulation and sleep.

The Tok Sen massage at the Silver Temple is given by an experienced and friendly Tok Sen professional. She has been doing this for years and the location is known for its good quality and reasonable prices for Tok Sen treatments. The Nun Tok Sen massage practice is located within the Silver Temple grounds, an appointment via Facebook is appreciated. A one-hour Tok Sen massage costs THB 250 per person.
