None that I have been able to find.

I appreciate the value of a good chiro - but here in Thailand - the traditional Thai Massage is the controlling factor.

I have a Chiropractor in Bangkok that I have used since 2000!I have not found one in this area.Dr,Don's clinic.He is located off of Sumkunvit Soi 23 about a block from "Soi Cowboy"!
If you have a chronic Lumbar situation,I would not recommend a Thai style massage,My experience is that the majority of Thai massage practitioners,learn by ''the numbers'' and give the massage that way,knowing very little about the actual ''workings of the body'',although I have experienced a couple of exceptions!They can easily worsen your situation.
I did have an acute sublaxation around my T-10/11 a couple of years ago in Nong Khai that a practicer of a Chinese type massage,using some ''minor'' type chiro moves,was able to set!She had helped a weight lifter friend of mine and I decided to give it a go prior to eating muscle relaxants and taking a train sleeper berth to Bangkok!She saved me the trip!
My chronic situation is usually centered around the Lumbar 5 region and the cervical region from a crushing of the disc in the lumbar at 13 and a couple of rear ended car wrecks,which aggravated the lumbar problems and added a permanent cervical problem(loss of natural curvature)!A massuese with knowledge of deep tissue massage is good for temporary relief of neck pain!

There are several chiropractors in Bangkok and there were a couple around Pattaya.I personally have used over 20 Chiropractors in my life and only found 4 that were effective in treating me!When my lumbar goes out I am completely debillitated until it can be properly treated.That is what kept me in Bangkok for 5 years!Couldn't find a Chiro in any other areas that might seem a better place to live!Fortunately,Udon and NongKhai are on the train line,so I only have to endure an overnight train ride to Bangkok!
If I can be of assistance,you have only to ask!

A good Osteopath can do similair work, and is better qualified than a Chiropractor.
I think there are Osteopaths in every major hospital in Thailand.

As for Chinese massage. Most techniques used by Chiropractors actually originate from Tui-Na traditional Chinese massage.
