Cairns masseuse slams sleazy men for their very shabby demands
A Thai woman who runs a respected massage business has had enough of “rude” Australian men demanding a “happy ending” and has decided to lock them out.
Darunrat Chansopha, owner of Pha Thai Massage in Cairns, says the increase in premises offering “sexy massages” has made his job more dangerous.
Ms Chansopha, who studied business in Bangkok, only offers authentic Thai massage services, but still has to turn down lousy requests for “extras” every day.
These callers receive a polite but firm “mai ow, krap,” meaning “No thanks.”
In the tidy waiting room of his well-known store, the wall is covered with framed qualifications and a prominent sign that reads: “No happy endings – excellent massage only.”

Reviews mention that the store’s staff is “extremely professional, with years of experience” and offers excellent massages.
“My husband loves this place,” wrote one Cairns woman.
“This gorgeous little Thai lady is as strong as anything. She gives a firm massage that will make you cry if you’re not hard.
‘The best massage of my life. I’ve had hundreds of massages and still struggle with never getting enough pressure or not going deep enough,” another woman wrote.
But the questionable phone calls continue to come in.
“We get phone calls constantly, every day: are you doing more? Today already a call at 1 p.m. and they are so rude about it,” Ms Chansopha told the Cairns Post.
“(Now) I lock my door during the day so men can’t just come in and ask for it.”
Qualified massage therapists face sexual harassment on a daily basis, according to a survey of its members by Massage and Myotherapy Australia.
