COVER STORY

ALTERNATIVE

HEALTH AND WELLBEING 清迈,一座关注健康和安乐的城市

Chiang Mai is often considered the wellness capital of Thailand. It is a hub for alternative health and wellbeing. From yoga classes to traditional Chinese medicine clinics, Chiang Mai is the perfect place to take some time out and treat yourself before making your way to the northern mountains and waterfalls. 8


There are a plethora of affordable good quality services and opportunities year round. Many of us lead fast paced lives in front of the computer screen or glued to our phones, leaving little time for ourselves. The slow pace of life in Chiang Mai lends itself to taking a breath, leaving our devices in the hotel room and taking the time to rediscover our mind-body connection, finding an alternative way to view health and wellbeing.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Chiang Mai boasts two traditional Chinese medicine centres, which have been quietly operating and serving the population for generations. The treatment approach is becoming increasingly popular in the west and amongst visitors to Chiang Mai. The core principle of the age-old tradition is to ‘respect the rules of nature’. Traditional Chinese medicine centers encourage a holistic approach to life that balances the body, mind, soul and environment (or the yin and yang). It is based on the theory that overcoming imbalances in the system is the foundation of individual diagnosis and treatment. An oasis of calm in the centre of the bustling old city, Mungkala traditional medicine clinic is a well-established Chiang Mai institution. The practitioners are third generation herbalists and speak a range of languages including Thai, Chinese and English. The lovely, soft, spoken Dr. Rungrat is a favourite amongst long-term expats, providing care for a range of needs from emotional difficulties to more serious physical ailments. Mungkala offers herbal teas, herbal pills, and acupuncture depending on the need of each individual. Located on Ratchamanka road, it is best to call ahead to schedule an appointment.

Dr.Wang at Chinese Pharmacy A hark back to the olden days, the Chinese Pharmacy at Warorot Market is another worthwhile option. Jam packed with shelves of traditional medicines, the shop is unmistakeable as you walk past. Dr. Wang is available from Mon – Sat between 10am and 2pm for a consultation in the pharmacy, he also owns a famous acupuncture clinic outside town (read article page 40). Just drop in the pharmacy any time. Consultations are between 5 and 10 mins, after which he will prescribe you some herbs which staff can often be seen preparing on some vintage balancing scales. Dr. Wang’s English is limited, however there are some American exchange students regularly volunteering in the shop. They can provide you with the information you need. It’s quite a unique and worthwhile experience! 清迈通常被认为是泰国健康之都,简直就是一个多样的健康和 安乐中心。配备有瑜伽课程到中医诊所,总之它是您可以在去探 索泰北山林和瀑布之前花些时间疗养自身的完美之地。 传统中医 清迈有两个传统中国医学中心。第一个是“Mungkala中医诊 所”,其目前的负责人是家族第三代草药专家,并熟练运用各种 语言,包括泰国、中文和英文。第二个则是瓦洛洛市场的“中国 药店”,其货架堆满了传统药材。王博士一般在周一至周六10 点到下午2点之间坐诊抓药。他在城外还拥有一个著名的针灸诊 所。 9


Thai massage Thai massage is an ancient healing system combining acupressure, Indian Ayurvedic principles, and assisted yoga postures. The founding father of Thai massage was an Ayurvedic doctor, who is still revered in Thailand as the “father of medicine”. Born in India during the time of the Buddha, he is noted in ancient documents for his extraordinary medical skills, his knowledge of herbal medicine, and for having treated important people of his day, including the Buddha himself. Interestingly, the practice of Thai massage is essentially a form of assisted yoga, or ‘lazy’ yoga as some long term residents call it! There are a number of places throughout the city to get a good quality Thai massage. Just check the different adresses in our magazine. Chiang Mai is the perfect place to study Thai massage. Thai massage practitioners travel here from around the world to further their studies. Whether you have a massage practice back home, or simply enjoy offering massages to your friends, family and partner, head to ITM Massage School for a professional training. The school is located in Chiang Mai city, near by Chotana neighborhood, it is internationally recognised and accredited by Thailand Ministry of Education. The school cater to people with all levels of experience and skill, ITM they organise a variety of courses Massage School and workshops, while also offering also hold a free open house advanced courses for qualified Thai and demonstration every Friday massage therapists and other body from 10.30 to 12.00 and 13.00 workers (such as osteopaths and shiatsu practitioners). to 15.00 (no reservation required).

Take the time to learn the art of full body massage, oil massage, head massage, foot massage or herbal ball massage and impress everyone when you get back home!

Yoga Over the past few years, yoga has become more mainstream. From schools to yoga studios and parks across the world to elderly homes, people are taking up yoga in various forms. There is now even an International Yoga Day, and photos of the new Canadian Prime Minister in a tree pose recently went viral. Chiang Mai is a centre for yoga in the region, with a number of well qualified teachers and studios. Internationally renowned teachers often visit in the high season (November – February). If you are a yoga enthusiast it is worth looking out for their workshops. 10


The Yoga Tree, Namo and Wild Rose all offer daily classes as well as regular workshops. Yoga House, a little out of town, is also worth a visit for its serene surroundings. There are all kinds of yoga on offer in this vibrant city. From Ashtanga, Anusara, Vinyasa Flow, Restorative to Hatha yoga – you name it! If you are a beginner there are a number of classes to suit your needs. If you are a yoga teacher looking for more training look out for teacher trainings, which are often advertised by the yoga studios. For individual classes to suit your needs, contact Gernot Huber at Yoga Mind-Yoga Body, his classes focus on breath and alignment and he bases his teaching on a number of traditions.

Meditation Meditation retreats in Thailand are typically Vipassana meditation retreats, following the tradition of Theravada Buddhism. Some retreats are spent in seated meditation, while others are a mixture of walking and seated practices. Dhamma talks are commonly given every day, and each retreat is typically silent, apart from the daily check in with a monk. Retreats vary in length, with the minimum usually a ten-day commitment. Wat Rampoeng, an unforgettable temple approximately 15 minutes west of the city, offers 10 day retreats catering to foreigners. It is one of the more popular options. However, if you are pressed for time, Chiang Mai offers other options as well. Wat Doi Suthep, above the Chiang Mai valley offers shorter term Vipassana retreats, and access to some of the mountain walking tracks for your break time! For an alternative meditation experience, head to the Green Papaya Sangha at the Yoga Tree every Thursday night. Based on the teachings of the Zen practitioner Thich Nhat Hanh, a core group meet here weekly and welcome travellers with all levels of experience to join the practice. With all that Chiang Mai has to offer for alternative health and wellbeing, whether it is Thai massage, yoga, traditional Chinese medicine or meditation – treat yourself! You will go home feeling nourished after the perfect holiday experience, and your friends will wonder what you’ve been up to!

Set in the former district court building, right opposite the Three Kings Monument, the Lanna Folklife Museum recounts the rich culture and history of Northern Thailand. This white colonial style two-storey builing once belonged to Chao Inthawarorot Suriyawongse, the 8th ruler of Chiang Mai. It was then trans-formed into the Municipal Court of Chiang Mai until it was totally renovated to showcase the beauty of centuries-old northern heritage.

CULTURED

CHIANG RAI REGION

清莹

Being among the oldest towns of Thailand, the city of Chiang Rai was founded in 1262 by King Mengrai (who also built Chiang Mai in 1296) and was the first capital of Lanna Thai Kingdom. It was occupied by Myanmar from 1558 until 1774, when it became part of Siam once again. Located at the northern tip of Thailand, bordering Myanmar on the North, and Laos on the East, Chiang Rai is only a one hour and half drive from sister city Chiang Mai. It is a wonderful place to visit on a two days-one night basic, or more.

Wat Rong Khun 36


Baan Dum Museum C

Here are some of the main attractions not to be missed : Wat Rong Khun : Also known as The White Temple, this place is regarded as one of the most beautiful temples built in this century. A masterpiece of artist Chalermchai Kositpipat, famed for his extravagant and unique Buddhism-related paintings, Wat Rong Khun reflects the artist’s grand visions of heaven, hell and Nirvana. The main assembly hall and adjacent area are carved in white with glass mosaics. The construction started in 1997, look closely and you’ll see pictures of international heroes like Spiderman, Sailor Moon and even Ben10 hidden in the murals. When it’s completed (it could take 50 years), the temple will have nine buildings. Donations are welcome but should not exceed B10,000 as Chalermchai doesn’t want to be under the influence of big donors, even though he’s spent more than THB 40 million of his own cash.

Love is Chiang Rai

The quieter neighbor of Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai is a land of outstanding natural beauty, where visitors looking to avoid the hordes can visit remote hilltribes, spot exotic wildlife and check out the Golden Triangle. It is also the birth place of the Royal Project and home to beautiful palaces and authentic Lanna architecture temples.

Mae Salong : Doi Mae Salong, also known as Santi Khiri, is a hilltop village that was colonised in the 1940s by refugee soldiers who came from Burma but were originally part of the Chinese 93rd Division that fought against Mao Zedong. Even now, there is a decidedly Chinese feel with teashops and slopes planted with oolong, coffee and fruit trees. For a taste of China without crossing any international borders...

The Golden Triangle : Lush jungle, mist-shrouded mountains, hill-tribe villages and tranquil views of rice paddies mark the Golden Triangle, the point in northern Thailand that converges with Laos and Burma where the Ruak and mighty Mekong rivers join. The peaceful and untouched city of Chiang Saen, set on the banks of the Mekong in another 14th century Lanna capital, dotted by temples, historic buildings and ruins. Six miles upstream is the heart of the Golden Triangle, the confluence of the Mekong and Ruak rivers, known locally as Sop Ruak – the point where all three countries can be seen from one vantage point. Trips on the river are some of the most famous attraction in the area.

PORTRAIT

Dr. Sheng Zhong Wang Le docteur faiseur de bien-être Installé à Chiang Mai depuis 25 ans, le docteur Sheng Zhong Wang est renommé aussi bien auprès des locaux que chez les expatriés vivant dans la région. Spécialisé dans la médecine chinoise ainsi que dans l’acupuncture, il aime a soigner et soulager. D’ailleurs, la réputation de sa pharmacie a depuis longtemps dépassé les frontières de la ville et beaucoup ne jurent que par ses conseils et ses herbes. Aucune prétention pourtant chez cet homme de 55 ans au sourire timide mais convaincant. Il y a très longtemps, lorsque le docteur Wang est arrivé en Thaïlande, il avait finit ses études de médecine en Chine et déjà officié dans différents hôpitaux. Il aurait pu poursuivre sa brillante carrière la-bas mais sa passion pour les plantes et leurs pouvoirs le poussa à venir en Thailande oû son oncle possédait déjà une pharmacie. Il s’y installa avec sa famille afin d’y promouvoir sa médecine par les plantes.. Officiant encore aujourd’hui dans la pharmacie familiale du marché de Warorot de Chiang Mai, le docteur Wang répond aux besoins de ses nombreux patients. Certains ne veulent que soigner un rhume,une éruption cutanée ou des maux d’estomacs.D’autres viennent car ils sont angoisses, dépressifs, ou atteint de maladies graves et espèrent trouver une réponse dans les plantes. Pour chacun, le docteur Wang ne promet pas l’impossible, mais écoute avec attention, réfléchit et propose des cocktails pour soigner. Il ne se prétend pas faiseur de miracle et ses compétences s’arrêtent avec celles des plantes mais il accompagne et, commeson parcours professionnel lui donne une parfaite métrise des deux médecines, il n’est pas rare qu’il associe les plantes à un traitement dit “chimique” pour un meilleur résultat. Il propose également, selon les cas, des séances d’acupuncture dans son cabinet extérieur.

Chaque jour, la pharmacie ou il officie donne le sentiment d’une effervescence continue. Non seulement l’échoppe a pignon sur rue, mais c’est surtout l’attraction que produit son imposant comptoir en bois, sur lequel toute la journée, trois préparateurs expérimentés amoncèlent des herbes, sur des feuilles de papier blanc, selon une prescription rigoureuse. De petits tas de feuilles, de branches, aux couleurs variées et à la texture parfoissurprenante, prennent forme après avoir été minutieusement pesé. A l’arrière, des pans entiers de boîtes à tiroir d’où sont extraits les précieux sésames. Les commandes viennent de toute la région et même de l’étranger.Et pour satisfaire le plus grand nombre, le docteur Wang, humaniste, a volontairement choisi de faire payer sa consultation 100 bahts par personne.

ESCALE GOURMANDE

CUISINE D’ETE

Fraîcheur et légerté à Girasole Le quartier Klang Vieng, à l’intérieur de la vieille ville, est très connu à Chiang Mai. Il est au coeur de la Walking Street du dimanche et c’est une agréable parenthèse lors de la visite de la place de Thapae et du temple Phra Singh. C’est dans ce charmant quartier que se trouve le restaurant Italien Girasole. Girasole sert une cuisine fraîche, fine, légère et de qualité, avec force pizzas à pâte très fine et pâtes al dente, à déguster sur place ou à emporter. Dans la salle climatisée ou en terrasse, vous pourrez par exemple goûter en entrée une salade de la mer (230 Baht), un carpaccio de beuf (270 Baht) ou une salade cocktail de gambas et avocat (210 Baht). L’assiette de fromages (320 Baht) ainsi que l’assortiment de

42

charcuterie (320 Baht) et les calamars frits (190 Baht) sont également des plats très prisés. En plat principal, l’Osso Bucco enivre par sa saveur exquise. Il est accompagné, au choix, de tagliatelles ou de purée. Les poissons sont cuisinés au vin blanc, aux aromates ou au beurre de sauge, toujours frais et très léger en cette période estivale. Les pizzas sont naturellement une des spécialités particulièrement recommandées de la maison et les résidents s’arrêtent souvent pour en acheter à emporter. A la carte tout est délicieux mais depuis toujours notre préférence se tourne vers les pâtes fraiches faites maison, tout comme le pain, certains fromages, les pâtisseries et les glaces.


Salade de la Mer

Bon et naturel à la fois.

Carpaccio de Boeuf

Les végétariens seront heureux de trouver chez Girasole un large choix de plats qui leur est destiné, aussi bien au niveau des pâtes que des entrées et des pizzas. Ne manquez pas de goûter aux gnochis au pistou du jardin, ainsi qu’a la ratatouille accompagnée de semoule. Véritables amoureux de la cuisine tout à la fois savoureuse et bonne pour la santé, les propriétaires du restaurant Girasole se sont tournés vers la culture bio, il y a quelques années. Et comme on n’est jamais aussi bien servi que par soi-même, ils ont réalisé leur propre potager où ils cultivent : mâche, basilic et citrons. Ils fabriquent aussi certains des délicieux fromages servis à table. Le reste des produits utilisés vient principalement du Projet Royal de Chiang Mai, en respect avec les préconisations « bio ». Chaque midi, le restaurant propose une formule pates + boisson pour seulement 179 Baht. Alors, pourquoi se priver ? Ce petit coin d’Italie est particulièrement dépaysant et très agréable pour un repas en famille ou entre amis. Les inconditionnels du shopping seront heureux de découvrir ce restau-restaurant entouré de plusieurs petits magasins de souvenirs, d’antiquités, de bijoux et même un salon de massage. Quant à l’accueil et au service, les serveuses sont décontractées mais professionnelles et accueillantes. Attention, les cuisines fe ment à 22 heures.
