Popular Post greenmonkey Posted July 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2020 Yes the title is correct and I am rather unhappy about it! My wife telephoned the local masseuse in Nonthaburi (that we have been using for years) to book us both in for a traditional Thai massage. Everything was going well until she politely informed my wife that whilst she would be welcome, I would not be allowed. The masseuse went on to explain that due to the ongoing pandemic she is not allowed to permit any farang to her establishment. She didn't expressly say it but it sounded like this had come from an official of some kind. No if's no but's, doesn't matter if I am expat living here that has been here through out the entire pandemic. Just wondered if anyone else had recently had a similar experience? 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Upnotover Posted July 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2020 Reckon they did you a favour. I had one of those with my wife.....once. I find a soapy much more to my liking (not with the wife mind you). 3 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted July 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2020 You can thank ‘Anutin’ for that. And some (Yinn) on other thread's thought this was not a damaging comment and it wouldn’t influence Thai’s. This is the ‘thin end of the wedge’ of the potential segregationalism triggered by such untrained and immature public figures. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samsensam Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 if they dont want your custom take your, and your wife's, business elsewhere. this sort of think has been going on for years, i used to use a travel agent in bkk, one time i went in with my japanese gf, they would sell me a ticket but not her. it was very embarrassing, but we simply went elsewhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacessit Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Massage shops in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai have been quite happy to have my custom. Go where you are wanted, and have your wife inform the masseuse she has lost not one, but two customers through her own and official stupidity. I was getting massages while the shops were officially closed. People can work around moronic regulation if they want to, the masseuse doesn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borderine troll... can't make up my mind if 'she' is a local xenophobe or farang wind up merchant. But, yeah, I think we can expect more of this type of carry-on and xenophobia/distrust of outsiders will sadly only increase.

The only example of xenophobia I've seen in Chiang Rai was a Thai-only policy at Waterford Valley Golf Club, which I gather has now been changed. That's OK, they won't ever get my business and the word has spread in the local farang golfing community. Thais forget we can be insulted too.

JeffersLos Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 It's really not an issue. Just wait outside and insult one of the motobike taxi guys in front of his friends for the same experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
