■A cover of the manners and customs industry
In Japan, there is still prejudice for the Thai massage. It is because a case becoming the cover (hidden place) of the manners and customs industry strides. Therefore recognition that a Thai massage is manners and customs industry is still left for the image of the man of the old and middle age. On the other hand, was far apart at all that there was many it in categories such as beauty or the beauty, and the image for the Thailand massage of the youth bent in what was introduced with many women's magazines; is done.

■The control of the manners and customs shop
In 2007, I submitted it to the Thai ancient rite massage police station including the testicles massage in TTMA by the request from the police station. I could write against open manners and customs shop for from 2007 to 2008 and supervised it all at once to be able to shave the document for the cause in the police, and many manners and customs shop to really sing Thailand massage was disclosed.

■The ambition of the Thai government prefecture and the acceptance of the Thai therapist In the APEC leaders meeting held in October, 2003, that world cabinet ministers were treated with a Thai massage was reported in the Japanese news. Thailand nominates a country and is going to spread the traditional culture of the own country in the world. However, there are each circumstances in each country including Japan, and expectations of various politics of the country coexist how there even if Thailand massage was splendid, and, as for the acceptance to Japanese soil of the Thai therapist, extension is not seen in the FTA (free trade agreement) back in 2005 either. There is really the opposite statement for the Thai day / Thai FTA type massage acceptance, too.

■There being misunderstanding and prejudice
There can be misunderstanding and prejudice meaning it will be a demerit. However, many Japanese that it does not yet know the splendor of the Thai ancient rite massage are to be a lot. Even if there is TTMA simply because there are misunderstanding and prejudice, and there is a headwind, an effort spreading a splendid thing in the world thinks that it is necessary.
