Shocking deaths: Thai massages endanger tourist life!

In Thailand, tragic incidents have occurred around traditional Thai massages that had fatal consequences for those affected. The 20-year-old singer Chayada Prao-Hom, who was known under her stage name Ping Chayada, died on December 8th. In October she had undergone a massage in Udon Thani and reported afterwards about severe pain in the neck and back. Doctors diagnosed neurological problems, and after several weeks full of agony she finally succumbed to a septic shock. These alarming circumstances were described in detail by the Krone and raise questions about such treatment methods.

Just one day before Chayada's death, a 52-year-old tourist from Singapore in Phuket died immediately after an oil-body massage. The man suffered a cardiac arrest during the treatment that could not be overcome. These two incidents led to an outcry among the tourists who are now concerned about the potential dangers of massage techniques. Experts, such as the Indonesian masseuse Harnelis, emphasize that neck and back massages can be particularly risky. They pointed out that false movements could have fatal consequences, such as 20 minutes reported.

During the massage practice in which Chayada was treated, there have already been concerns about the techniques used. The operator of the salon defended herself by pointing out the training of her employees, but the type of naked techniques used was not officially approved. Another warning call came from the deputy director of the Maharaj Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital, which advises people with certain health vulnerabilities, such as osteoporosis or cancer. With these incidents, the discussion about the safety of massages in Thailand is re -lived up and could have sustainable effects on the industry.
