hello les fripouilles !
Je suis masseur à mes heures perdues et voilà un mois que j'ai décidé de partir me former en massage thai à wat po...hum on peut pas dire que je suis un baroudeur et c'est la raison pour laquelle j'aurais besoin de quelques conseils concernant ce voyage. Comme par exemple, y a t il besoin de vaccins spécifiques ? Quel budget consacrer à ce type de voyage sachant que, ( quite à y aller autant y rester 1 mois ) et que je veux faire un max de formations ? Hum...quoi d'autre...ça va me revenir en attendant vos réponses...merci d'avance !! tcho !

Pourquoi aller en thailande pour m'exercer aux massages thailandais ??! Bien j'ai quelques bonnes raisons. La première ( tu me l'as fait remarquer ) est que les formations dans ce domaine, sont en france très chères, je dirais même la plupart du temps anormalement trop chères. La deuxième raison est que quite à apprendre le massage thai autant aller dans l'endroit le plus réputé pour ( chiang mai ou wat pho ) tout en profitant du pays et passer plusieurs semaines entre formations et escursions s'impregnant ainsi de la culture thai ( pas négligeable pour au final essayer d'exercer un massage qui se rapproche de ses origines ). Voici mes deux principales motivations ( pour le moment car je ne suis pas encore parti ).
Je te souhaite une année pleine sens.
Cordialement haziel.

Hello mecuador !
Je suis donc parti à Bangkok au mois de mai pendant presk un mois ( car tu dois le savoir maintenant, le visa est gratos jusqu'à 30 jours ) afin d'apprendre le massage à Wat Po...J'y ai appris chronologiquement le general thai massage ( au sol sur futon ), le oil thai massage puis la reflexo' plantaire...le tout sur trois semaines. A l'époque je ne parlais que quelques mots d'anglais, mais no problemo, ce n'est que du massage, donc c'est avant tout du visuel. Et de plus, ya des gens venant du monde entier et parmi eux ya toujours moyen de dégoter un francophone. Donc du côté de l'apprentissage tout va bien...Jour après jour on progresse au niveau de l'enchainement pour en fin de semaine passer l'examen. L'ambiance y est plus ke détendue mais sérieuse ( ya toujours un prof planqué dans le coin de la salle qui surveille scrupuleusement les gestes effectués par les élèves )...En plus le nombre de prof ( pour le general thai massage ) est assez élevé afin de ne laisser AUCUN élève galérer dans son coin...L'accueil est top...C'est vrai que c'est un peu l'usine, mais une usine conviviale. Super bonne expérience. L'école est située au fond d'un "soi" ( ruelle ) en face de Wat Po...Le midi tu peux bouffer à l'école (sur le toit ) ou je te conseille d'en sortir et de grailler dans les rues, c'est plus sympa...Pour t'y rendre ( à l'école ) tu peux prendre le bateau ( pas cher du tout ), le tuk tuk....enfin bla bla bla, tout ça t'as dû le lire déjà...Ca, c'est pour les cours...ensuite truc numéro 1 pour ne pas te faire baiser à la sortie de l'aeroport...:si tu voyages léger ( je te le conseille ! ) préfère plutot la navette ( bus ) que tu peux prendre directement de l'aéroport à l'étage inférieur (il me semble, enfin ouvre ton guide, c'est noté ) plutot que le taxi...ils te baisent quasiment toujours la gueule ( dans la direction aéroport bangkok, sinon ils sont cool et tu pourras les prendre en ville ). Ensuite pour trouver ton hotel, si c'est pas déjà fait, ne passe surtout pas dans les espèces d'office de tourisme qui te prennent une commission...si tu arrives en navette, tu débarqueras près de khao san road, la rue la plus touristique avec des guest-house partout assez bon marché...moi j'ai opté pour une ruelle un peu excentrée pour ne pas subir les touristes et les teufs, la zic des boites etc...Je ne connais pas ton budget mais évite de payer plus de 500 bath la nuit ( 10 euros ), c'est déjà assez cher. Concernant le massage, pour le general thai massage le prix, si je me souviens bien doit osciller entre 150 et 200 euros la semaine. Les autres massages sont moins chers. Que dire de plus...Ah oui je ne veux pas t'alarmer, loin de là mais surveille l'actu quand même, il y a peu de temps c'était un peu l'dawa à bangkok...je n'ai pas vraiment suivi mais il y a eu une couille entre la population et le premier ministre il me semble...enfin bref de toute manière c'est un reflexe à avoir où que tu ailles...phuket aussi il parait que c'est tendu...Quoi d'autre...ouais les tuk tuk te balladent un peu partout pour se taper des com' ( boutique de sap', bijoutier, ....te fais pas baiser au bijoutier, je t'en supplie...y' en a trop qui se font avoir...)...enfin d'une manière générale, tous les attrapes-gogo sont bien référencées dans les guides, mais on a toujours du mal à se rendre compte...prends les a la lettre mais reste cool, la thailande, c'est peace ( moi j'ai enchainé par l'inde juste après et c'est autre chose ). le lonely planet est très bien. Bon je vais m'arrêter un peu car je suis parti pour te raconter tout mon voyage...si t'as des questions avant de partir, je tacherais d'être assez rapide pour la réponse...et si tu pars dans la foulée, profite bien cher mecuador, la thailande était mon premier gros voyage seul et j'en garde un pur souvenir...j'y retournerai ! BYE et bon voyage !

Bonjour Khun Thuan🙂,
En fait, c'est chronologique. En janvier, le gars demandait des infos et en octobre, après avoir fait son voyage et suivit les cours de massage, il donne des infos...😉 CQFD

merci beaucoup haziel pour ta réponse
je n'hésiterais pas vu ton expérience à te recontacter pour ce projet
pour l'instant c'est au point mort
peut-être que je ne partirais qu'en fevrier, c'est un peu difficile à mettre en place, je n'ai toujours pas trouvé les sous !
je vais voir, il me reste 2 semaines pour voir si ce projet est viable tout de suite ou si ce sera pour plus tard
merci encore pour toutes ces infos qui me donnent à penser que c'est tout à fait raisonnable si c'est calme là-bas
à très bientôt sans doute
BJR haziel!
jarrive en thailande debut sept et g trés envie dapprendre les massages thailandais! pourrais tu men dire plus a propos de cette forma; faut il un niveau ou une experience pr acceder a celle ci?se fait elle sur phuket? prix?au bout de combien de tps peut on etre qualifié?
merci
Salut lili !
Excuse moi pour le retard...Peut-être as-tu déjà les réponses à tes questions mais je vais quand même te répondre...
Aucune compétence n'est requise pour accéder aux formations de massage...bref tu es la bienvenue...Si ce n'est avoir un minimum de mémoire...Pour ce qui est des formations en massage à phuket, je pense que tu en trouveras...Mais, les deux écoles qui sont reconnues dans le monde entier sont basées d'une part à Bangkok ( wat po ) et d'autre part dans le nord de la thailande à euh...zut j'ai oublié le nom...euh...fin bref, je te conseille d'aller suivre les cours dans l'une de ces écoles...Ensuite une semaine par massage est nécessaire pour être diplomé...Aprés tu peux passer plus de temps pour un perfectionnement...Et si mes souvenirs sont exacts le pris oscille entre 7000 et 10000 baths, en gros entre 130 et 200 euros...voili voilo...bye !

Salut, je sais que ca fait longtemps que ca a été posté, mais j'aimerais savoir si tu te souviens environ combien ton voyage avait couté en gros, comprenant hotel, cours et tout.... Merci de me répondre!! 🙂
bon lili....si t'es pas encore partie, en gros avec 3 semaines de formation, hôtel, bouffe et billet d'avion avec un billet de 1500 euros, t'es pénard...tu peux serrer le budget...notamment si tu fais moins de formations...ensuite toi tu pars du québec ?...et sur l'hôtel surtout...moi à 10 euros la nuit, j'étais trop cher !!...( c'était mon premier grand voyage et seul en plus )....mais avec 5euros par nuit, c'est largement suffisant, même moins encore si t'es serrée...la bouffe, c'est peu cher...avec un euro par repas, tu manges bien...donc rien à gratter là dessus...en conclusion, ce qui fait la différence, c'est l'avion et une fois sur place l'hôtel !...pour info la semaine de formation massage à wat po est en moyenne à 150e...( je dis en moyenne car elle ne sont pas toutes au même prix...reflexologie plantaire...hum...nuad bo rarn....et aromathérapie...)...voilà...hésite pas lili...j'essayerai de venir régulièrement si t'as des questions...bye !

Hi everyone,
My name is Deborah, I’m French. I’m married and have two children. I’m a clinical psychologist specializing in psychotraumatology, and I’m also pursuing medical studies.
For some time now, I’ve been seriously considering moving to the United States. My long-term goal is to practice medicine in the U.S., with a particular interest in forensic pathology. I know the journey is demanding (USMLE, residency, fellowship, etc.), but I’m ready to commit to several years of hard work.
For now, I’m focused on building this project thoughtfully. I want to improve my English, better understand the American system, and connect with people who’ve already gone through this process or are living in the U.S.
I have a few questions:
- Are there any doctors or international students here who’ve successfully matched into a U.S. residency? - When did you start preparing for the USMLE? - What advice would you give to someone still in medical school? - Which states would you recommend for a future career in forensic pathology, with a good quality of life and good schools for kids? - Is it better to do an observership or a research fellowship before applying for residency? - What are, in your opinion, the pitfalls to avoid when planning such a project?
Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to respond. I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share!

Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...

Hi there,
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Have a great day

Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!

Hi everyone,
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!

Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...). Thanks again!

Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies. PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia.

Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on!

Hi everyone!
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga. To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that... I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻
Thanks so much for your help and advice! ☺️

Hi everyone,
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background: • I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*. • I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor. • Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience: • I work as an *Employment Counselor*. • I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0. • I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
For a family, which area would you recommend?

Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!! Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.

Hi,
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath.

Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
Hi everyone, so I’m planning to go study at a community college in the U.S., but the only snag is which one—there are so many options over there! I’ve heard about one in California, Diablo Valley College, and another in Florida, Valencia College. I know both states are super attractive for tourism, but my main criteria are teaching quality and price. I’m open to any advice, comments, or suggestions—thanks in advance! The start of the semester is coming up, and I’m a little nervous...
READY, SET...... GO...... TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!! lol

Hi! I’m looking for an apartment in Malaga from September (2025) until January for my Erasmus exchange, but I’m not finding much, and it seems like there are a lot of scams. Does anyone have any leads or tips? Thanks!^^
