webfact Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Thai massage recognized by UNESCO Thai massage or “nuad Thai”, which has already gained global recognition, has now been added to UNESCO’s intangible cultural heritage list at their meeting, currently being held in Bogota, the capital of Columbia. A Thai delegate at the UNESCO meeting said that the addition of Thai traditional massage to the list practices is historic. It is the second Thai intangible cultural heritage practice to be recognized by UNESCO after khon classical masked dance, which was listed last year.

law ling Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Have very occassionally had a decent massage at one of the "blind institute" places. At the other places it's usually rubbish, being pummeled like they're kneeding pizza dough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventenio Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 someone's getting jerked around on this one.... $5? no. for the first year, i wasn't sure if i should tip on a normal massage. i didn't. then for a few years i give 300 for a 200 massage. it really seems reasonable. maybe 10% of the time they are lazy and i'll never go back so pay 200 and leave.....

Who trained them? I'm talking about the message, not the Happy Ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
