How many massage girls in Pattaya / Thailand do you think have secondary or tertiary education for massage?  

A lot that I know of. My wife already had her certificates from a registered massage school in Bangkok from many years again and when the regulations changed she went back to a registered massage college here in Khon Kaen and re-did her courses and got her new certificates that were forwarded to Bangkok to receive her recognised certificate from the Thai government plus when that was done she sent her certificates to the Government and got her certificate to be able to open her own shop and then the shop was inspected by MOPH who gave their certificate of approval for the shop to open and last year we were ordered to close for 3 months because of Covid-19. When we were allowed to re-open we had to do many updates to the shop and follow the new restrictions and when we were ready to re-open we were inspected by MOPH again who issued us a new certificate to say that we were qualified to open again because we met the new regulations that were required. No woman works for us unless they can produce the required certificates and there are many other massage shops that meet these regulations. There was a problem a few years ago (about 2 years before Covid-19) when some customers died whilst being massaged and it was found that the girls doing the massage was not qualified or trained so the government had inspectors going around checking the shops and the girls qualifications. Some shops were closed until they could meet the new requirements. The owners of the massage shops that were involved with the deaths were charged by the government. So ,yes, there are many qualified masseuses in Thailand

That shop would be an exception, many shops offer happy endings and even full sex. I don't bother, too old and my GF is always happy to help out.

A shop with older women MAY offer happy endings. When it is staffed with 20-30 year olds, it's almost a given there will be several forms of sex on offer.

It is not an exception at all as most of the shops in our area are well respected shops and the others are also well known for the extras they give. Most of the shops around Khon Kaen are owned by elderly owners and are worked by elderly trained and workers with MOPH trained certificates, whereas the other shops are worked by young girls who do not have the training and the massage certificates. 

Normal price is 200 baht per hour for a Thai massage and the girls do not get paid while sitting around waiting for a customer and they get paid 50% of the fee for whatever massage they do and they are kicked out the door if they try any happy endings and the customer is also kicked out if they ask the girls for any extras. 

Australian organisations notified the Office of the Australian Information Commission (OAIC) of 539 data breaches in the last six months of 2020, bringing the yearly total to 1051.

https://ia.acs.org.au/article/2021/australia-had-1051-data-breaches-in-2021.html

These include all the banks in Australia, Centrelink (social security), Dept of Immigration and Border Patrol plus many private companies. How many breaches has there been in America or UK or Europe?

Of the 539 breaches occurring between July and December last year, the number of incidents caused by human error increased by nearly 20 per cent, according to the Notifiable Data Breaches report.

Data breaches caused by human error tend to be simple mistakes such as sending personal information to the wrong email recipient, unintentionally disclosing the information, or simply forgetting to use BCC in a mass email – as the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade did when sending bulk communications to Australian travelers stuck overseas last October.

Well, All the Thai bashers are at it again, but they will not accept the "Data Leaks" that are occurring in Thailand but they cannot and will not admit to all the "Data Leaks" from banks, social security organisations and other government departments that occur in their first world home countries like America, UK, Australia and Europe. It does not matter what country it is in the world "computer data is not secure" If you do not want your information to be put onto a computer data base then don't give it to the organisation that wants it and just go home to your own country and curl up in a dark corner. 

As an organiser of a couple of volunteer emergency rescue team and bush fire brigades in NSW, Australia who regularly donated blood at the local hospitals back in the 70's & 80's we were limited to donating at 3 month intervals and until the age of 60. The reason that we were given by the medical experts then was that it takes 3 months for the blood in the body to rejuvenate to the amount and strength that your own body needs and that once you reach the age of 60 it starts to take longer for your blood to build back up again. That is what I was told by the hospitals back then.

3 hours ago there was plenty of activity on the Khon Kaen radar with a radius of 240 kilometres, but now it has all disappeared off the screen with just a couple of spots left. So no decent rain again today or tonight.

I just find it interesting that it's oppressively hot and humid and with all the humidity there is only a few small scattered radar imagines of small thunderheads and microbursts but no soaking rains.  I going to welcome them when they get here.  I've been holding off on planting a vegetable garden.

I have no problem with watering the vegies. I just stand in a large plastic dish and sweat and empty the dish on the garden. I know what you mean. But every time there seems to be a decent gathering of rain storms for some reason at the 8 or 16 kilometre mark it either goes around to the north or south of us or it splits and goes both sides of us or it peters out altogether and we get nothing. Maybe that bloke up there is as corrupt as those down here and he is waiting for his coffee money.

Is there any Update on What has happened to this man's Body? 

I got a phone call late yesterday that his body is being released from Uban hospital and his funeral is going to be held at Maha Sarakham on Saturday. I have been told that everyone in the Khon Kaen and Udon Thani area is meeting at Chilling Bar at 10.30 on Saturday morning and Paul the owner knows where about in Maha Sarakham the funeral will be and anyone without a car will be able to get a lift.

That's as much as I know at this time.

search for an orphanage or an old peoples home around Chiang Mai, you would find that they would appreciate things like that

Verified medical references with quantified risk assessment? Thanks.

just do a search on google and stop trying to be a s*******e and you might learn something that many countries have learnt about AstraZenica and the side effects

mRNA vaccines were developed over the last 10-20 years because they promise revolutionary safety. They use no part of any virus, live or dead.

 

J&J was not developed like Sinovac, it's similar to a one shot version of AstraZenica, a viral vector vaccine.

Both AstraZenica and the early release of J & J had deadly side effects and J & J withdraw their vaccine until recently when a new modified vaccine was released with no reports of side effects yet but AstraZenica has been withdrawn from use in Denmark and has been replaced by Pfizer as the main vaccine in the UK plus is still causing deadly blood clots in Australia. There is no way of telling if AstraZenica is going to effect you or not until it is too late and it has been injected into your body.

Getting away from filthy cats for a moment, how did you cope with all that filthy bird poop over everything?

Didn't have to worry about it because they knew where to go and do it same as some domestic cats and dogs can be trained just like you were trained? by your parents so your sarcastic stupid remark meant nothing

The big problem in places like Thailand is who is going to teach these children to swim because at a guess I would say that 95% of the Thai adults can't swim either and that is where the problem lies there are not any swimming instructors to cover all of Thailand but there are many swimming pools which are located at hotels and condos and even they don't have swimming instructors so the poor kid that is playing with his/her friends feel hot and just jump into the local pond on the edge of their village and you have another tragedy like this one

Beautiful bird. Thanks for sharing.

 

Two birds one female and one male and the males was a good talker but both dead, torn apart by filthy cats

Not a nice thing to say Russell.

 

My cats were free to go anywhere. I don't have them at the farm any longer. But I do keep a couple at home. I'll warn them about straying on your patch.

 

 

I see you have spent time in Oz. Do you know they kill koi carp with bows and arrows there for 'sport'? They shoot at kangaroos and try to catch rabbits; not to eat, but to skin. And don't get me started on camels!?

 

Some strange people in Oz. Don't appreciate beauty.

 

 

 

 

This is beauty which the filthy cats killed

Like I said keep your filthy cats off my property or they will be dead like the ones last week. Not like the strange demented idiots that would keep 40 filthy cats on their property. If you want to continue with you attempted demeaning of people then go right ahead because all it shows is what type of person you are.

Is this hypothetical? Or do 'filthy soi cats' actually come onto your property.

 

Cats are animals of the earth. They need our love not hate. Why not catch one and give it a little clean if you think it is dirty.

 

I used to have over 40 cats at the farm. They are lovely.

 

 

The filthy things destroyed many of my pets so you can keep your filthy cats on your own property and it is because of cat lovers that Victoria brought in laws to protect the native marsupials that the "beautiful" cats were killing. As far as I'm concerned cats are vermon and should be treated that way. If you want cats then keep the things on your own property or if you let one come onto my property to try and kill my pets then it will be killed.

Take the cats away and the rats will come.

 

With the rats come snakes and dragons.

 

These reptiles can bite people; some could die.

So according to you I must allow the filthy soi cats to come onto my property and kill my pets. Filthy soi cats carry many life threatening diseases like rabies and if you are bitten or scratched by one of these filthy soi cats then you can die. You want these filth then you can have them but keep the bloody filth on your own property.

this model doesn't seem to affect birdies (cockatiels/budgies) 

 - but it really sends cockroaches and especially earwigs bonkers. They go crazy for that first day spinning in random circles... and then they are all gone 

 

as far as other animals are concerned, I'm happier that we only have goldfish right now ????   

Can you send me the details on make/model/etc. Where did you buy yours from Bunnings?

for those who really don't want any cats around...

the following will do a pretty good job of keeping them away from your space

 

This Model makes Cats - 'S.E.P'   (somebody else's problem)

 

 

     

I have over the year tried out a myriad of models/designs

- and this one worked best for me 

 

 

unfortunately that also affects other animals as well, so I cannot use one or it will affect my pets in the same way it would affect the bloody soi cats and dogs
