Thai massage recognized by UNESCO

 

 

Thai massage or “nuad Thai”, which has already gained global recognition, has now been added to UNESCO’s intangible cultural heritage list at their meeting, currently being held in Bogota, the capital of Columbia.

 

A Thai delegate at the UNESCO meeting said that the addition of Thai traditional massage to the list practices is historic.

 

It is the second Thai intangible cultural heritage practice to be recognized by UNESCO after khon classical masked dance, which was listed last year.

Recognized for what? ability to leave you in pain, never  had a  decent  one, all follow the same routine no matter what you ask them to do, all try to inflict  pain

Have very occassionally had a decent massage at one of the "blind institute" places. At the other places it's usually rubbish, being pummeled like they're kneeding pizza dough.

Not one bit, they tested the massages over an extended period to get to this result!

[Ventenio]

someone's getting jerked around on this one....

 

$5?  no.  for the first year, i wasn't sure if i should tip on a normal massage.  i didn't.  then for a few years i give 300 for a 200 massage.  it really seems reasonable.   maybe 10% of the time they are lazy and i'll never go back so pay 200 and leave.....

I know people who have died from Thai massages. They encourage blood clots and deep vein thrombosis. Beware

Why is it there are no diplomas from message school hanging on the wall in these places? Who trained them? I'm talking about the message, not the Happy Ending.
