PM Prayut urges people to promote Thai massage

 

   

BANGKOK(NNT) - The Prime Minister and Defense Minister, Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha, observed several exhibits from the Outstanding Technologist Awards and Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) Forum 2019. The Prime Minister also had a traditional Thai massage and encouraged everyone to support the Thai massage business, which is part of the tourism industry.

 

Before attending a meeting of cabinet ministers on Dec 17, the Prime Minister saw several exhibits from the Outstanding Technologist Awards and STI Forum 2019, organized by the Foundation for the Promotion of Science and Technology and the Thailand Management Association (TMA). The exhibits included three-dimensional cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and an innovation platform for automation, robotics and intelligent electronics. They were both developed by Thai technologists, with the aim of integrating their work into the business environment.

 

The Prime Minister then had a traditional Thai massage. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) listed traditional Thai massage as an intangible cultural heritage on December 12, 2019 at the 14th Session of the Intangible Cultural Heritage Committee in the Republic of Colombia.

 

The Prime Minister called on the general public to preserve traditional Thai massage and to promote it, as it is part of the tourism industry.

 

Meanwhile, Gen. Prayut’s masseuse told reporters that the Prime Minister had tense muscles in his shoulders. The Prime Minister said that he had a headache every morning because he wants the government to steer the country forward. He then praised the masseuse, saying they had good massage skills.

Thai Massage? Non standartised procedure. Impossible to register as a "trade-mark". But as long as Tourist-Arrivals from Europe are declining, somebody had to come up with something revolutionary new, called "Thai-Massage".

[Thechook]

Geez go to Melbourne, Australia there is a Thai massage palour every 50 metres.  Doesn't need promoting they seem to have a constant stream of male customers 

[neeray]

I am wondering if the PM ordered "twerking" to be kept to a minimum during massage session.

Or maybe he'll outright ban it altogether.

[ezzra]

Promotions  and public relations are pretty much what PM and other government leaders do for thai products and policies, if tomorrow the PM will go out to buy a pair of shoes or a set tiers his aids will tell him to say something about prompting Thai shoes and tires...

[MrMo]

So we won't be hearing anything about DEMOCRACY then !

[unamazedloso]

i honestly get the impression the pm lives in a bubble and has no idea about common thai people at all. 

Acts like a spoilt baby seeing something new for the first time and its some sort of revelation and so out goes a news story..

In reality thai massage aint new and is already global and about as good as it gets. Thais cant do anything better? If not think about birth control because this isnt going to fix the mess this governments made.

[colinneil]

He needs people to promote Thai massage, keep lots of them open, mostly in Bangkok.

Main reason is, he and his band of useless cronies aint getting anything at home.????

[sammieuk1]

It would have been a happy ending if she had been allowed to keep the cheese wire ???? 

[AOK]

For Prayut I dont think this will have a happy ending.

[Assurancetourix]

Doesn't the photo make you think of what's going on in the men  toilets of some bangkok bars?

The fact that he is so tense and has headaches are because he is scared to death which is obvious in his poor governance.  He has sanitised and is trying to dumb down Thailand.  He and the masseuse should trade places.   It would no doubt be an improvement.  

 

It is a fact that he has helped the super rich and failed the average Thai.

[ZAKY]

Its like re-inventing the wheel!!!

[Orton Rd]

Needs to be avoided as far too many doing it not properly trained, so can be physically dangerous. I would never have another even if free

Generally known as "White Water Rafting".......LOL

[Winky Wilson]

I recommend the soapy massage. Poseiden in Ratchada provides nice R&R release and relaxation.

[SenorCJ]

I promote Thai massage - I get at least two every week. ????????????

I did this quite a bit when I was younger. Till the ladies got too greedy, and I lost my appetite for P4P...

[Mick501]

Maybe an ad campaign to promote this.    The PM standing outside a shop on Soi Boukhao calling, "masssssat?" to passing farang pedestrians would be an unforgettable visual.

The PM is doing his best to promote it in his own special way... by walking all over everyone!

[holy cow cm]

Promote Thai massage and then see the happy ending. Promote soapy slides and you leave refreshed and washed. 

[Krataiboy]

Sounds like grounds for a divorce.

 

[bristolgeoff]
