Original post
bonjour tout le monde,
voila nous projettons avec un ami de partir un mois en thailande pour suivre une formation dans les massages. Nous avons pas mal d'adresses d'écoles différentes mais a vrai dire, pas vraiment d'echos positifs ou négatifs. Quelques uns d'entres vous pourraient ils nous éclairer?
Wat Po est elle tjs aussi réputée et professionnelle? que penser de l'ITM? de l'Old Medecine School? et j'en passe...
merci d'avance pour vos avis
nanou😏😏😏
je n'ai pas compris ton message excuse moi lol
oui merci mais j'ai déja trouvé le site de wat po et des infos mais je voulais des témoignages en direct de personnes qui y seraient déja allés, ou dans d'autres écoles 😉
oui je me doute bien qu'en 10jours c un peu short mais j'ai déja une formation de masseuse, c un complément, mais il faut combien minimum pour bien maitriser la technique?😏
bonjour.
c'est le grand dileme pour les ecoles de massages.
je ne peux parler que de mon experience bien sur.
voila d'abord je veux dire que je pratique le massage depuis 7 ans mais pas professionnellement. j'ai fait ma premiere formation il y a 7 ans et je viens de finir 5 semaines d'une formation plus pro et complete.
je n'aime pas beaucoup les ecoles en generales je m'en explique plus tard. ITM ne recoit pas tous les suffrages renommes pour etre plutot commerciale, - le old medecine c'est 10 jours pas mauvais visiblement mais pas le top non plus - what po est ouvert aussi maintenant a chiang mai (qui est le must pour les cours) mais visiblement pas de conversation en anglais et la formation est un peu brutale aux dires d'une copine qui en sort. en 10 jours je n'ai pas trouve qu'elle avait vraiment appris beaucoup.
le thai massage a deux ecoles celle du sud - what po - et celle du nord - lanna - qui ne sont pas tres eloignees l'une de l'autre en fait. il y a une autre ecole qui parait pas mal c'est TCM je crois mais chere aussi. sinon il y a une floppee de petites ecoles qui font des formations non graduees - c'est a dire qui ne fonctionnent pas par niveau comme les ecoles qui changent de niveau toutes les semaines.
j'explique pourquoi je n'aime pas les ecoles ; primo parce que justement c'est semaine par semaine et non pas comme chez les prives une suite continue d'apprentissage. deuxio je prefere un prof perso qui ne revient pas plus cher et qui est tout aussi bon ou bonne en general que ceux des ecoles, la c'est une question de feeling quand on choisis et la aussi il y en a une floppee et beaucoup qui propose des stages de 1 a 5 jours ce qui me parait impossible de sortir avec suffisamment de connaissance. le massage thai prend du temps a connaitre et demande beaucoup de pratique pour qu'il soit agreable et positif. l'avantage d'un prof pour soi tout seul c'est que les energies ne sont pas dispersees et qu'on se sent mieux a la fin de la journee. souvent quand on est en cours a plusieurs, nous nous massons les uns les autres et parfois on ne supporte plus de se faire toucher ou bien on a des crises depressives incomprehensible pour certains. ce sont les energies pas toujours positives que nous recevons des autres..... pas tres rigolo!!!
sinon tout depend ce que vous voulez faire de votre apprentissage??? dans quel but???
sinon il y a aussi un tres bon prof collectif qui se nomme pichet mais il parait qu'il commence un peu a perdre la boule. sinon ma prof n'est pas mal non plus.
avez vous deja approche le massage thai???

salut
Je crois que tout est dit le wat Poo reste vraimment la reference y compris pour lesThailandais . Un des gros avantage du Wat que n offre pas toujours les autres c est l enorme possibilite de s entrainer au cours de la journee . D autre part pour ceux qui sont vraimment motiver d en apprendre sur le massage c est une vrai pepiniere d informations ou l on rencontre non seulement de simple amateurs mais aussi des masseurs confirmes de partout qui sont pret a aider et souvent riche d enseignement sa reputation n est vraimment surfaite c est La reference . Je pourrais t avoir plus d info si tu le souhiate j ai une tres bonne amie qui y suit des cours tous les ans je peux lui demnder plus d info

La vie c est cmme une patisserie on peux la regader sans cesse mais pour connaitre ces saveurs il la faut croquer... les gens sont seuls parce qu'ils construisent des murs au lieu de construire des ponts
Salut,
je viens d effectuer un stage au wat po, j ai bcp aime, mais c est vrai qu il ne faut pas s arreter au premier cours de base...Il faut continuer et faire les autres cours comme le Advanced therapeutic massage qui complete bien le Basic thai massage course. C est ce que je vais faire car j ai le temps et l ambiance m a bcp plu ;p Il y a aussi les formations de massage pour bebes, oil et aromatherapy, foot massage et massage pour les femmes seulement qui est nouveau aussi je crois.

Sab kuch milega !
merci beaucoup pour ta réponse domi (comme mon papa lol)
ca m'a pas mal éclairée sur le sujet meme si toutes tes infos restent subjectives et entierement personnelles
en fait je cherche a faire cette formation pour me perfectionenr et pouvoir exercer, car a vrai dire la formation que j'a recu l'année derniere était très bien certes mais trop juste pour pouvoir en faire mon metier ( californien, suedois, lymphatique, et autres soins )
ce sera donc l'occasion d'apprendre une nouvelle technique un peu moins connue du grand public, et puis c'est qd meme plus interessant qu'un drainage lymphatique je pense! lol
et tu as fait combien de formations toi pour etre moyennement au point? je me doute bien qu'en 5jours tu peux pas apprendre une technique aussi complexe mais en combien de tps a peu près tu peux esperer t'en sortir?
merci beaucoup a toi!
je prend ABSOLUMENT TOUTES LES INFOS! lol
donc toi tu as fait quelle formation exactement? et combien de tps? tu te sens assez formée?
je sais je suis très curieuse lol
😏😏😏
la curiosite n'est pas un vilain defaut mais propablement un enrichissement!!!????
bon je me suis donc formee avec Nong la proprietaire de Vipa house (elle a un site internet tu peux lui dire que tu la contacte de ma part - dominique). j'ai perfectionne ma technique de base du thai massage, j'ai fait initiation au massage a l'huile, le massage du pied et reflexologie plantaire et pour finir le traitement pour le soin. voila c'est un programme que j'ai etabli avec elle. je connaissait deja le massage pour en avoir deja fait 100h il y a 7 ans donc oui aujourd'hui je me sent totalement en confiance et "pro", y parait que je pourrais meme enseigner :-))) voila donc 5 semaines a raison de 4h par jour. tu peux faire moins et plus par jour c'est a toi d'etablir selon ton desir et ton besoin. c'est tres flexible. il y a avant l'apprentissage une heure de cours de meditation active genre chi gong. c'est super pour se preparer au massage. voila a savoir que 4 heure quand on est seule avec la prof c'est intense!!!
et avant que tu me le demande pour les stages de ce type en generale il faut compter de 3500 a + de 4000 bath par semaine session de 20 ou 30h selon soit 70 a 80 euros par semaine.
si tu as d'autres questions je suis a ta disposition.
A+dom
en fait en y réfléchissant bien, je ne me sentirais pas d'aller chez un particulier pour un début je crois que le systeme francais a déteint sur nous lol et que nous avons besoin dans un premier temps d'une structure "scolaire" pour apprendre, meme si je pense également que l'apprentissage avec un prof perso est surement plus intense et plus complet
mais je suis une ptite jeunette de 21ans et pour un premier voyage aussi loin et une premiere formation dans un autre pays il me faut une structure, un cadre et un planning bien défini
et surtout pour moi, au moins un preuve de notre passage dans une école. c'est peut etre con a dire mais le petit bout de papier a la fin du stage m'importe beaucoup :-) car je n'ai déja pas tous les atouts de mon coté, je suis jeune, sans vraiment d'expérience professionnelle dans le domaine si ce n'est ma formation et quelques stages(j'adore, on vous demande d'avoir de l'expérience mais on ne vous laisse pas l'occasion de vous en faire...vive le systeme ) ...etc...
la profession n'étant déja pas reconnue en france, alors si en plus je ne ramene aucune preuve de ma formation, je ne trouverais jamais de taff lol
bon rassures toi meme un prive te donne un certificat qui n'a aucune valeur nulle part puisque comme tu le dis ca n'est pas reconnu en france. la seule valeur c'est la pratique. si un jour je recrute des masseuses ce qui m'interressera ca sera la duree de formation et le massage que je recevrais!!!! le certificqt je m'en fouttrai royalement puisque certain en ont pour 2 jours de stage!!!???/ j'estime qu'en 2 jours on ne connait rien de rien en massage!!!!
bon je comprends toutefois ton besoin de structure. je te recommanderais donc le wat pho a bangkok qui est la plus reputee ou TCM a chiang mai.
tu veux en faire ta profession???? si j'espere que ca ne sera pas un business comme c'est devenu ici en thailande..... je rage contre ce "polus de respect de rien"
grrrrrrrrrrr voila c'etait mon coup de gueule.
bonne chance a toi et si tu le veux vraiment meme la jeunesse n'arrete pas l'envie de faire.
A+
non ne t'inquiete pas je n'ai aucune envie d'en faire un business a la con seulement je veux quand meme en vivre! je veux juste en faire ma profession et cela dans de bonnes conditions
le certificat n'est pas valable c'est certain mais moi seule saurait que je l'ai obtenu a la sueur de mes mains lol et puis c'est tjs un plus, je prend tout ce que je peux pour pouvoir crédibiliser mes futures démarches ou prestations
je pense que nous irons a wat po pour commencer et puis on bougera
ce sera surement plus une question de feeling au fur et a mesure
non pas de soucis pour ca! je ne change pas d'avis comme ca et puis en plus je ne pense pas que ce soit un avis mais plutot un état d'esprit.on nait avec cette perception de vie et on en change que rarement
enfin c'est mon avis personnel
les premiers jours vont etre pour juin finallement, sauf pb, ca a encore été repoussé pour cause d'emplois du tps différents, mai ne laissait que 10jours de créneau a mon acolyte alors autant ne pas partir! donc on a repoussé pour juin, en esperant que cette fois ca ne bougera plus! lol
juin bonne période a votre avis?
bah pour un mois, mais je pense qu'on fera genre 3semaines de stage et 1 bonne semaine de détente histoire de visiter un peu, et puis il y a les week ends aussi puisque les cours ne se font que la semaine non?
on va mélanger travail et plaisir

Hi! I’m 76 and have traveled a lot in my life, and now I’m looking to settle in Réunion.
I’ve seen a retirement community in Saint-Pierre (Ravine des Cabris) and a residence called Village d’Or in Sainte-Clotilde. I have a feeling that living in Saint-Joseph might be better. I’ve submitted both applications and would love your thoughts—also if you know of any friendly small residences for rent, or if you have experience living there.
My pension is 1,460 €.
Thanks so much for your help! Looking forward to hearing from you—warm regards to everyone

After living for many years in the West (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland),
I’ve decided to return and settle in Cameroon, my home country.
Currently an entrepreneur in real estate and transport, I’m looking for a partner / partners / foundation to collaborate on an agriculture project, as I own 10 hectares of land.
The hectares have remained unused for years due to a lack of financial means, since the project requires what I’d call a considerable investment. As the main stakeholder, I have a minimal contribution to offer.
I believe it’s time to bring this space to life to meet pressing needs and serve the common good of society.
The project is simple:
1) Grow maize + build a processing plant to produce flour
2) Open a mini supermarket + a modern bakery using the flour for pastries, etc.
3) Build a healthcare service
4) Build a nursery and primary school
5) Construct free housing for retired expatriates in exchange for their voluntary contributions in their respective fields.
This is a project I truly believe in, and I invite anyone interested to add their personal touch—whether through advice, guidance, or involvement.
Note: This project has national and international potential in terms of employment.
My slogan: To be visibly useful to society
You’ve got to dare, even if it makes you tremble.

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’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?

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!
Cheers,

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

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant. In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there? 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! Thanks for your feedback!!

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! 🥺🏻

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[;)!!!]

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,
Has anyone gone on a language study trip in Europe? If so, which agencies did you use? What can you tell me about it? Thanks a lot! Kelkune
