Thai massage is performed fully clothed on a floor mat, using no oils, and combines acupressure with assisted yoga-style stretching. Swedish massage, by contrast, is typically done on a table with oils and focuses on smoother, gliding strokes across bare skin. Thai massage tends to feel more active and dynamic, since the therapist moves your body into various stretches, while Swedish massage is generally more passive and relaxing. Both offer therapeutic benefits, but they suit different preferences depending on whether you want deep stretching or gentle relaxation.
