About Aon phawat Boonthumme
Aon (On) Phawat Boonthumme is the son of the renowned Chiang Mai Thai massage master Pichest Boonthumme. He grew up beside his father and learned the family's style of Thai massage from an early age. Since Pichest died in 2023, Aon has continued teaching at the Boonthumme Thai Massage School (BTM) at the family home in Hang Dong, near Chiang Mai. He carries on his father's intuitive, therapeutic approach, which does not rely on fixed sequences. Western practitioners list him among their teachers, and US-based teachers bring student groups to study 'Traditional Thai' with him. No personal website or biography of his own was found. Most of what is known comes from third-party schools and student pages.
