Foreigner Sparks Outrage for Doing Thai-Only Job in Phuket

A viral video of a foreigner working as a masseur in Phuket has sparked outrage, as Thai law reserves such jobs for locals to protect "Thai wisdom" and employment opportunities. Critics argue that allowing foreigners to take these roles threatens Thai traditions, while others note difficulties in hiring Thai workers due to wage demands and work conditions. Last year, 721 cases of foreigners working in prohibited jobs were reported. Violators face fines of up to 50,000 baht and deportation, while employers risk higher penalties, jail time, and a hiring ban.
