"Freelance massage women" operating nationwide - fears that this will spread Covid

Thai business media reported that one of the consequences of widespread closures of massage shops and spas in places like Pattaya and Bangkok had resulted in women going freelance.

 

Now there were "call centers" operating in Thailand - callers could dial in and get a visit from a massage girl at home anywhere in Thailand. 

 

This is fuelling fears of potentially spreading Covid-19 far and wide. 

 

One man calling for new laws and regulation of this aspect of the market is the chief of the spa and wellness association of the Eastern Seaboard Chairat Rattanaphat.

 

The freelancers there have been operating since 80% of the massage shops in Pattaya closed either temporarily or permanently.

 

Also 90% of restaurants are reportedly shut in Pattaya temporarily. 

 

Chairat wants help from the government for legitimate operators struggling to remain afloat and the whole matter of freelancers looked into. 

 

While it was understandable that people would try and make a living in this way he feared that it would mean only one thing - more Covid infections throughout the country as protocols in shops would surely not be followed privately. 

 

Online forums in Thailand are full of stories of women in massage - often a front for blatant prostitution in Thailand - having been forced online more and more to make ends meet. 

 

There are also reports that such women, as well as masseurs, were swelling the membership of dating sites, notes Thaivisa. 

 

Prostitution, so open on the streets and in the bars and nightclubs and restaurants of Thailand, especially in tourism hubs, has increasingly moved online throughout the pandemic. 

 

Of course it was already there, but now more so.

Look into what?  Thai Friendly alone has over 2 million members good luck.

What are they expected to do,  starve?

What a big waste of time any of this will be.

Just dumb.

I see distraction......

Is a Skytrain vehicle packed with people not more likely to spread Covid...

Is a factory full of illegal Burmese sorting shrimp not more likely to spread Covid.

Is allowing Bangkokians freedom to travel (Songkran for eg)  not more likely to spread Covid.

Is running buses between provinces  not more likely to spread Covid.?

Sorry, bro... TOO LATE for 99.9999% of all falangs in Thailand.  However, research has shown that 99% of all falangs only have 49% of a brain..... so not half!!!

I prefer butter  but wher can I buy this  Covid spread?

[JonnyF]

What else are they going to do for a living right now?

 

I guess this is one disadvantage of having so many people employed in the sex industry.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, did you ever have any involvement with a bar girl or freelancer?

 

[AlfHuy]

That's all a scam.

 

I saw a girl advertising:

Hello, my name is Song, I am 24 years young, attractive, educated, lovely.

I am 162cm tall, 49kg only.

I worked in a beauty spa as Head massage therapist.

Due to restrictions, I can't practice my art anymore at our premises and have decided to do home visits.

Please give it a go and I am sure it won't be your last booking.

 

Thai massage 300/BHT/hour

Oil massage 450/BHT/hour

 

Extras can be added.

 

 

Sounded lovely. Good hearted as I am, I thought I have to support this lady.

Took my phone and gave her a call. Lovely voice she had.

I booked for the same evening and told her that I would take 2 hours. 1hour Thai and to relax, 1hour Oil.

 

Booking was for 7pm. Shower taken, nice underwear on and here I was, waiting for Song.

At 6:40 I went down to the lobby, maybe she comes a bit earlier.

At 6:58, a pick-up truck arrived and soon, driver was calling my name.

Here she was, Song, the lovely massagist.
