Shoddy massages

» Re: "Thai massage industry set for overhaul", (BP, March 4). I'm looking forward to the day the Thais will finally upgrade and greatly improve the massage industry in this country. It is indeed in a dire state. I'm a fully qualified masseur with three diplomas from the world-renowned Wat Po school, two of them specialist courses. Very proud of it.

Profiting on faith
Oped, Postbag, Published on 27/08/2022
» Re: “Keeping the faith”, (Business, Aug 22). Absent any supporting statistics, let us take it on faith as reported that “Large numbers of Thais are turning to superstition to help make sense of an increasingly fraught and unstable world”. But is that really an excuse for business to cash in by pandering to wild claims of dubious merit?
Too much Pali

» Re: "Sex, money and monkhood don't mix", (Opinion, May 12). Your columnist Sanitsuda Ekachai writes, " A monk's education focuses only on rote-learning of the ancient Pali texts, forsaking spiritual training and the goal of monkhood -- spiritual liberation." This is a point I have been stressing throughout the 18 years that I have been a monk in Thailand.
