I am here in Kurdistan (northern Iraq) discussing with my friend (local large business owner of Dutch origin) -who has a long-term neck problem- to bring a professional Thai masseuse here, an older masseuse who learned the trade at the Wat Po temple, and offer her a job. We can open a small clinic here on a short term to help others as well. I speak Thai so I can manage it for him.

 

Not a place like the other places they already have here, mostly in hotel basements for "relaxation" but purely focused on health support. So also not with the 'secret' atmosphere that the existing places have because of the culture. But open and professional.

 

Are there any forums here with jobs for Thais? Any other tips?

If you are serious I might know 1 or 2. Friends of my wife who is also qualified in all massage but not the tricky ones.

 

For example I know one who is among the best I ever met but she is very, very overweigh.

Ask in Wat Po!

 

A long time ago my gf went to massage school in Wat Po. At that time she told me they had lots of job offers from out of Thailand over there.
