Thaksin Concedes: Yingluck's Songkran Return Delayed Again
Don't you just love it, HIS plan for her return - in any law abiding country it would be for the judicial system to plan, give the nod and make the necessary arrangements - - but not here, just make your own arrangements for when it suits you. -

Thailand Cracks Down on Shady Massage Parlours
I've lived in this world in both the US and in Thailand and know exactly how it works. Really, you don't have a clue. In some cases what you say has some truth, a "trainee" has to start somewhere, but you completely miss the bigger picture. Fyi, the owners of most shops will tell their clients they are being given a massage by a trainee and "is that ok?" By the way, this isn't the West. My ex-wife was a "certified massage therapist"in the US. The certification programs there are complete overkill in typical Western nanny-state fashion. I've had significantly better massages here in Thailand by what you would consider to be "untrained" masseuses. There is training, but the way it is passed down is actually in the Tradition of Thai Massage which IS a UNESCO recognized profession. You think that a Thai masseuse learns her trade in a Community College like in the West. It doesn't really work that way, although it can. The Thai government wants to give "Thai Massage" legitimacy hence the Skilled Local Massage Practitioner program by the Thai MoH. By the way, there are Traditional Thai Massage certification programs already in place and they have been here for years and available through the Trade Colleges here in Thailand. There is already a tier certification program in place. I know Thais who are have certificates. They earned those certification so that they could leverage that in the massage shops as being staffed with Certified Thai Massage Practioners and therefore could command a higher price for massages, or promote the certification as a means to advertise their shops. Honestly? Some people want a massage and a hand-job and some people just want a good Thai Massage. Now it looks like the MoH will be given the power enforce certification by limiting the promotion of "Traditional Thai Massage" on a shop's signage only to those shops with certifications. So in the future more Thai masseuses and masseures will more than likely be required by shop owners to get certified. That's not a bad thing. Like I say, you and others who think they understand this - don't. -

Does the inequality ever make you uncomfortable?
not surprising. A single Thai person with no children earning Bt.15,000 a month or less will be tax exempt. -

Thank you dumb Donald Trump. You saved Canada from career politician PP. An assist must go to the dumbest person in Canadian politics.
