Legal liability driving in Thailand

In North America one buys “Liability Insurance” to keep from being sued for millions of dollars after a traffic accident. Seems like this would be even more important here, where you are guilty if you are a foreign driver, they may assign the baht owed based on your assets, and you may need to compe...

Re: Legitimate massage

Some questions on legit massage after trying a few. - Draping while turning over; One held the top sheet for privacy, one held it aside exposing me and the 3rd just removed the sheet and told me to flip over. This made me wonder if I’m a little prudeish and maybe Thai, like Europeans, aren’t concern...

Driving: why Thai’s “back in”?

Why is it common practice to back into parking places in Thailand? Everywhere else it seems like drivers pull straight in. Have to appreciate how good drivers are backing up though.

Re: Legitimate massage

“Thai Sabi” massage has pics of their credentials on Google Maps so will try there. I think massage is like many things where some people are artists while most are doing arts and crafts. Sounds fun to try different shops and different practitioners. You also might try Amazon for massage tables. The...

Re: Legitimate massage

Any local shops that do Trager (I experienced it in Chiang Mai)? Also wondering, since many Europeans are here, if any are trained in disciplines from there. Or, even less likely, in Ida Rolf (Rolfing) or Marian Rosen (Rosen Therapy)? Rosen is from Germany and combines feeling on the diaphragm with ...

Re: Legitimate massage

What techniques are used for deep tissue and for sports massage? I’ve only read they are slow and deep. I prefer they dont grind over a tight muscle and instead hold pressure on the muscle until the client is able to release that tightness.
