Seven ideas for harmonious living in Bangkok... >top
|
1. Join a group. Unless you're in an international workplace, making friends and contacts tends to centre around networking groups.
|
There are a range of different groups listed at www.nancychandler.net and bangkok.angloinfo.com The Bangkok Network of Women (BNOW), has a weekly email newsletter packed full of events and information And I'm a member of The British Women's Group (BWG)
|
2. Experiment and learn something new . This is a great place to try different activities and therapies.
|
For example... Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). Practitioners- Jaz Goven & Shalini Yamdagni kinesiology with “Nok” Kamonwan Khamching Yoga Elements have regular classes as well as some interesting visiting teachers Ashtanga Yoga Bangkok experience the Mysore style The Pilates Studio also hosts regular classes and visiting workshops Freedom Dance, set your inner dancer free! Dances from around the world - from belly to African There's a Drumming circle at the same school The Rasayana Retreat offers a range of therapies and detoxing and an oasis of peace! Wat Po Massage School can teach you traditional Thai massage Smart Home Organizing get practical help with de-cluttering and organising your space.
|
3. Meditate. There are a number of different approaches here some from India and some Thai Buddhist. Most are open to all regardless of religion.
|
Here are some links to get you started... The Art of Living, reduce stress with this powerful breathing pattern and spiritual life philosophy Lotus Star, are offering evening healing meditations Little Bang hold Dhamma Talks & Meditation events The House of Dhamma has more comprehensive courses The World Buddhist University hosts talks and teaching The International Foundation for inner-peace hold talks & retreats. The International Meditation Club organises retreats and workshops. Various Wats offer retreats and courses, best to check with one of the last 5 links to find one that's right for you.
|
4. Pamper yourself!
|
What a great place to pamper yourself with massages and treatments. Best to shop around and find an environment, therapist and process that feel really great!
|
5. Get out of town. Sometimes the way to appreciate Bangkok is to leave!
|
There are some great retreats on offer.... Tai Garden is an oasis for healing and learning Tao principles Yoga Thailand, Ashtanga yoga on Koh Samui Kamalaya offer a really interesting mix of courses For more see Retreats on line
|
6. Learn about the culture. Although it may appear quite multicultural in Bangkok, there are differences that govern all your interactions from work relationships to your shopping spree!
|
The artist Nancy Chandler has some good reading recommendations. I find the book Working with the Thais by Henry Holmes and Suchada Tangtongtavy gives clear guidelines with entertaining illustrations. And there are regular talks held at The National Museum, The Siam Society and Nelson Hayes Library.
|
7. Find a cause. Nothing puts our lives into perspective better than connecting with those who are less fortunate.
|
Whether it's street kids, street dogs, the environment or an orphanage, many here need your help. Most are keen for interaction and hands on assistance rather than just money. The networking groups (see no 1) are a good source of information about what's needed.
