Masters and Johnson Redux

Exactly. โรง (rong) - This means "building" or "place" and is often used as a prefix for institutions or establishments. พยาบาล (phayaban) - This means "nursing" or "care," derived from the verb พยาบาล (phayaban), which means "to nurse" or "to take care of." If the charges says "nursing charge" its a mis-translation on the part of whomever made the translation. It's "hospital charge." However, if there is Thai script next to the "Nursing Charge", post it. We can see what it actually says.

If a Thai gets a job at the Thai Post Office or Thai Railway they end up making that money up in spades over a life-time. But that doesn't usually equate to jobs in villages unless its a government position at the Aw Bot Taw Tambon level of government. Those jobs come with Social Security, pensions, and other perks.

Multiply this ฿ by a few billion and you have your answer.

Yeah, poison pellets are sorta instant karma. The critter disappears in some crevice in you house and stinks the whole place up. Then you're reminded that poison is a suckola way to die. Final revenge. Decaying body somewhere that you can't identify. Dead jing-joes are bad enough.

Mine works great. Well, most of the time. Gotta get your daytime Zzzzzzz to be in top form for nighttime hunts.

Only if you want to kill other pets or kids. They have live trap as well as Mouse Paper which is sorta like Fly Paper only for mice. I have a cat. He does a great job when the dogs miss them on the outside perimeter. I've got one of these. They work great. Take the mouse to the forest. Good karma for you. You can find them on Shopee and Lazada.

You need the police to lead the charge when your twisted elites want to create a police state.

Yep.

Walter Goggin's Venus Van Dam on Sons of Anarchy is an absolute stunner compared to this guy, errr gal, errr whatever. ❤️ the fake boobs.

Thai standard operating procedure (SOP) not just for Israeli's but for all farangs. Complain when they're here, cry went they feel unwelcome and then leave.

Nothing "tantra" here - just a "ball massage."

Yep.

Not necessarily. Like the English language, a word can have multiple meaning. You have to place it in context. Also, if you look up the term "steam" and "bake," the term "bake" is a primary translation for อบ, "stream" although it can be translated that way is not normally directly translated to "op" อบ as it's primary translation, but can be. Steam, bake, warmed - context. They all work.

I've lived in this world in both the US and in Thailand and know exactly how it works. Really, you don't have a clue. In some cases what you say has some truth, a "trainee" has to start somewhere, but you completely miss the bigger picture. Fyi, the owners of most shops will tell their clients they are being given a massage by a trainee and "is that ok?" By the way, this isn't the West. My ex-wife was a "certified massage therapist"in the US. The certification programs there are complete overkill in typical Western nanny-state fashion. I've had significantly better massages here in Thailand by what you would consider to be "untrained" masseuses. My exwife's massages as well as her "trained, US certified" staff sucked by comparison. There is training, but the way it is passed down is actually in the Tradition of Thai Massage which IS a UNESCO recognized profession. You think that all Thai masseuse learns their trade in a Community College like in the West (rhetorical - no you don't). It doesn't really work that way, although it can. There are two paths: on-the-job training and certification programs. Having learned "on-the-job" does not in the least discount a masseuse's abilities to perform Thai Massage. However, the Thai government wants to give "Thai Massage" legitimacy hence the Skilled Local Massage Practitioner program by the Thai MoH. By the way, there are Traditional Thai Massage certification programs already in place and they have been here for years and available through the Trade Colleges here in Thailand. There is already a tiered certification program in place. I know Thais who are have certificates. They earned those certification so that they could leverage that in the massage shops as being staffed with Certified Thai Massage Practitioners and therefore could command a higher price for massages, or promote the certification as a means to advertise their shops. Honestly? Some people want a massage and a hand-job, and some people just want a good Thai Massage. Now it looks like the MoH will be given the power enforce certification by limiting the promotion of "Traditional Thai Massage" on a shop's signage only to those shops with certifications. So in the future more Thai masseuses and masseures will more than likely be required by shop owners to get certified. In typical Thai fashion it will not be the state mandating certification, it will be the owners of Thai massage shops. That's not a bad thing. Like I say, you and others who think they understand this - don't.

I could walk you down Loi Kroh in Chiang Mai and point out a dozen or more instances where the term "nuad Thai" which is actually a mis-transliteration of นวด ไทย which has an unaspirated "t" sound hence more accurately "Nuat Thai" but is printed on signage in either form. A lot of times there will be the term "Thai Massage" with นวดไทย in Thai also on the sign. If you don't read Thai you won't see it. The Thai government will be insisting on the term "นวดไทย" being removed in shops that are not certified and will provide rules for the English terms that will denote "Certified Thai Massage."

Tosh.

bob smith - is this your alter ego?

Here's what is really going down. The Thai government is going to use a carrot, not a stick. They are offering certifications. Well, some stick - my guess in the near future, in order to use the term "Nuat Thai" on your establishment, the owner will need to be certified by the government to a certain level and their staff will also need to be certified to minimum standards. What you may see if they implement this is the police notifying massage establishments that they have a year to comply with certification or else they must take the term "Nuat Thai" off of their signage. Which actually may not be a bad thing. If you certify the owner will be able to print the term "Nuat Thai" or "นวดไทย" or "Certified Traditional Thai Massage" on their signs. With the certification, these massage shops can then charge a higher price for services minus Happy Endings. It's gonna be all about the wording on signs. Nothing much else really. Well, imho.

For those who wish to look for it, the script for Ap Op Nuat is: อาบ อบ นวด 👈 Literally - "Shower Bake Massage" These are legally run businesses. This is where Chuwit Kamolvisi made his money. These establishments are a Thai institution. They aren't going anywhere. And they are not aimed at non-Thais. Most non-Thais probably don't ever know they exist - well, unless you're a Western expat who lives in the Thai community and can read and write Thai. The BIB may bust a few for show, then it's back to business as usual.

It will never, ever be able to do that. The BIB are now The Happy Ending Police? Prostitution is primarily a bar-scene phenomenon aimed at tourists. That discounts the Thai prostitution scene complete which is the 90% of the iceberg under the water. That prostitution takes the form of Karaoke clubs as well as Shower Massages where you pick a gal out of the "Fishbowl" or "Sideline" and enjoy a 90 minute boom-boom. Those are aimed directly at Thai guys. They will never close them down - too much money involved.

That's very binary thinking. The problem with the Far-Left is they only seem to perceive binary states, and then project that onto people they hate. "If you support any Trump policies, then you support all of Trump's policies." That is binary thinking. And it wholly inaccurate. Those who support Trump support some of his policies, and don't support some of his policies. There are shades of grey to the right of Far-Left.

@placeholder You do understand that Trump lives in your mind rent free. That's not healthy.

Ever wonder why people would pay money to see Evel Knievel jump over buses? So they could witness the crashes when they happened. Brit TV, I sure, has over-the-top graphic death scenes in movies. If you're going to censor, better censor it all. Right. Gotta censor any that may be disturbing to your citizens, yeah?

Ofcom: The spear-tip of the Nanny-StateTM.
