Traditional Khmer massage, known locally as "Kap Khmer," is an ancient healing practice that dates back over 2,000 years to the Angkor Empire.
What is Khmer Massage?
Unlike Thai massage, Khmer massage uses slower, more deliberate movements focusing on energy lines throughout the body. It combines acupressure, stretching, and deep tissue work.
