The most impressive part of the event was arguably the absence of any string-vested tourists with gnarled toenails and salacious grins, whom you might expect to be the first volunteers when free Thai massages are being given out.
This event however took place in the clinical setting of the Thailand Medical Hub Expo 2012, at the Impact Mueangthong Arena in Bangkok.
Both the expo and event are supported by Thailand's Ministry of Public Health and presided by Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.
