Podcasts about Chiang Mai

Fed up with their own inadequate and expensive care systems, many elderly Westerners are choosing to retire to Thailand, where care is cheaper and often better. Many say Thailand's Buddhist culture and respect for the elderly means Thais are naturally caring. It's a booming sector, and is only likely to grow as we all live longer. But the decision to move can be complex, particularly when it involves retirees with dementia. People have been accused of dumping their sick relatives in Thai care homes, far from family. Is this exploitation – rich Westerners taking advantage of Thailand's low wages? And what does it mean for local health systems, as care workers are lured away to look after foreign residents?If you would like to get in touch with the show, please email: businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresented and produced by Gideon Long(Picture: British retiree Liz Jackson, now living in Chiang Mai.)

In this transformative episode, we delve into the world of healing stress and trauma with Christopher Lee Maher, a former Navy SEAL turned wellness expert. Discover how Christopher's unique journey from the high-pressure environment of the Navy to becoming a pioneer in holistic healing has equipped him with unparalleled insights into the body's intelligence.Join us as Christopher shares his groundbreaking methods for unlocking the body's innate ability to heal from stress and trauma. Learn how emotional patterns and physical pain are interconnected and explore practical strategies to release these burdens, leading to a more balanced and fulfilling life.Whether you're seeking to overcome personal challenges or simply curious about the power of holistic healing, this episode offers valuable tools and inspiration to help you tap into your body's true potential. At the age of 22, Christopher Lee Maher was a Navy SEAL, in his prime with a sleek 1.8% body fat and pound for pound, he was one of the fittest people on the planet.He was also completely unaware of the full impact that stress would eventually have on his physical, mental, energetic, and emotional wellbeing.He trained all day long, at a level on par with professional athletes. In fact, after the SEALs, he began focusing on his dream of making it to the US Olympic trials, in track and field.A lack of awareness of the impact of high stored stress loads kept him from ever manifesting his dream.He dealt with pain on a semi-consistent basis. Over time, that escalated to pain in every joint, in his feet, lower back, and neck. He was headed for a full-blown hip replacement, resorted to reading lips because his hearing was shot, and his vision wasn't much better. He barely slept and spent his days like a zombie.How could a person in peak condition be so unhealthy, and yet, so unaware, particularly when others saw him as a model of peak physical health?Piled-up stress causes severe and traumatic damage over time—what Christopher calls Strauma, a combination of stress plus time that transforms into trauma.Anyone who has been under complex stress loads or abuse has enough to cause serious emotional, energetic, and physical damage. Even if you have a tiny amount of stress every day, it eventually adds up and stunts your evolution.Through intense pain, Christopher devoted all of his energy, time, and resources seeking out answers that would alleviate his discomfort. Eventually finding relief, Christopher applied the learned techniques and worked on himself 5 to 6 hours every day for 7 years. This process led to a deep understanding of what it takes for the body, mind, energy, and emotions to perform optimally.Christopher went on to study at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine and Yo San University where he learned Traditional Chinese Medical Practices and an equal amount of Western science and pathology. He has spent the last decade studying at The Universal Healing Tao System and is a Master student of Grand Master Mantak Chia at the Universal Tao Master School in Chiang Mai, Thailand. He is currently pursuing his masters and doctoral degrees in Traditional Chinese Medicine.From his own relentless search to evolve and heal himself, he now innately understands the correlation between the emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of a being.His knowledge and experience led him to develop a comprehensive system of total physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing and integration: the True Body Intelligence technology.https://truebodyintelligence.com/https://truebodyintelligence.com/tbi-podcast/https://www.instagram.com/christopherleemaherhttps://www.youtube.com/@christopherleemaherhttps://x.com/ChrisLeeMaherhttps://www.facebook.com/truebodyintelligencehttps://www.linkedin.com/company/truebodyintelligence/Connect with the host, Kelly Kessler:https://www.optimalyouhealthandwellness.com/

But this April… something else was blooming inside me.四月的雨会带来五月的花，但今年四月，在我内心开花的，是更不可思议的东西。�第一段：Pai 遇见 Edu（Meeting Edu in Pai）In early April, I left Chiang Mai and headed to the dreamy mountain town of Pai.四月初，我离开清迈，前往梦幻山城拜县。On my second day there, I met Edu—a Muay Thai trainee from the Canary Islands of Spain.抵达的第二天，我认识了 Edu，一位来自西班牙加那利群岛的泰拳训练者。To my surprise, we clicked immediately. We had so much in common!令我惊讶的是，我们一见如故，发现彼此竟有好多共通点！We both had traveled to only one South American country—Peru.我们都只去过一个南美国家，就是秘鲁。And guess what? We both tried Ayahuasca there.你猜怎样？我们都在那里体验过死藤水。Even crazier, we were both heading back to Chiang Mai on the same Friday—me for a Thai dance performance, and him for a Muay Thai fight.更巧的是，我们同一天周五都要回清迈，我要去跳泰舞，他则要参加拳击赛。�第二段：泰舞、拳击与新年狂欢（Performances & Songkran）That week was magical. He came to see my Thai dance performance, and I went to cheer for his Muay Thai match.那几天真像一场梦。他来看我跳泰舞，我也去为他的比赛加油。There was definitely a spark between us, but we had different future plans.我们之间确实有些火花，但我们的未来规划不同。We talked openly and maturely, and agreed to stay friends.我们很成熟地谈开，决定做朋友就好。Then came Songkran—Thailand's water festival.接着就是泰国新年泼水节！We ran around like kids with water guns, ice buckets, and laughter.我们像小孩一样奔跑、拿着水枪和冰桶，疯狂大笑。Those moments reminded me of how beautiful it is to play.那些时刻让我想起：“玩”其实是一种祝福。�第三段：遇见 Evert 与魔幻体验（Meeting Evert & the Mushroom Trip）After all the fun, I returned to Pai a little sick and tired.狂欢过后，我带着一点感冒回到了拜县。There, my another new friend, Evert, who I had met in Chiang Mai during Songkran. He was planning a trip to Pai too.在那里，我一位我在泰国新年在清迈认识的新朋友 Evert，他也正打算来 Pai 度假。The second time we met… he showed up at my room—with magic mushrooms.第二次见面，他竟然带着蘑菇来我房间。It was my first time trying mushrooms.那是我第一次尝试蘑菇。I saw beauty so intense, it brought tears to my eyes.我看到的美景让我感动到落泪。I also went deep into self-reflection.我也进入了很深层的内在反思。�第四段：内在觉醒与持续探索（Inner Awakening）After that first time, I actually tried mushrooms two more times.那次之后，我又尝试了两次蘑菇。One time, I was completely alone.有一次，是我独自在房间里进行的。The other time, I was with a healer I met at a hot spring in Pai.另一次，是和一位在 Pai 的温泉遇见的疗愈师一起，那次非常特别。She created a safe, sacred space for us, and I saw so much more.她为我们营造了一个安全而神圣的空间，而我看见的东西更多了。Not just with my eyes—but with my heart.不只是用眼睛，而是用心。Each experience brought new clarity, healing, and wonder.每一次的体验，都带来新的清明、疗愈与惊奇。� 结语（Reflection & Call to Action）This April reminded me:The most magical journeys don't always happen across countries—they happen inside.这个四月提醒了我，最神奇的旅程不一定跨越国界，而是发生在我们内心深处。What did April awaken in you?你的四月，又唤醒了你什么呢？Thanks for joining me on this journey.感谢你与我同行。Don't forget to subscribe, share your thoughts, and join Fly with Lily to grow with us.别忘了订阅、留言，还有加入我5月20日即将开展的七日晨光觉醒旅程Seven Days of Morning Awakening，赶快到 flywiithlily.com 下载我们的离开舒适圈中英语挑战手册，如果已经注册过邮箱的朋友很快的你在邮箱里就会接受到邀请！和Lily一起进行华丽变身、成长、冒险！

Episode #340: Having taught at Payap University in Chiang Mai from 2016–2022, Tony Waters mentored doctoral students grappling with Myanmar's long history of war, repression, and foreign interference. His students' pride in their cultures, alongside their questioning of the country's fragmentation, helped shape his own understanding of Myanmar's deeper crises and multi-layered history.One dissertation, exploring Ne Win's Burmanization policy, particularly influenced his thinking. It traced the policy's roots to the CIA's Cold War counterinsurgency training, and its evolution into the Tatmadaw's brutal Four Cuts strategy. Waters further critiques how America's anti-Communist strategies, enacted covertly by the CIA, indirectly empowered the expansion of the drug trade.Waters argues that Myanmar's ethnic militias are not reflective of any cultural deficiencies, as some outsiders have implied, but rather rational responses to the absence of a stable, inclusive state. He is also sharply critical of the Western aid sector, particularly USAID, for prioritizing donor interests over local needs, and perpetuating cycles of ineffective development. Skeptical of post-coup “political dialogue” initiatives, Waters asserts that the military junta is structurally incapable of genuine negotiation.Ultimately, he frames Myanmar's continued suffering as the product of Great Power rivalries, stating that as long as China and the U.S. treat the country as a Cold War playground, real change remains elusive. Waters concludes by stressing the nuance required to better understand and engage in Myanmar, “I'm not looking for good and evil, I'm [just] looking for the story and trying to understand the processes.”

The Headlines: White Lotus Finale Smashes Viewership Record Thai Restaurant’s “Skinny Discount” Sparks Outrage Dolly Parton Airport? Petition Gains Traction White Lotus Ends with a Bang—Literally The Season 3 finale of HBO’s The White Lotus drew 6.2 million viewers, setting a new record and blowing past the previous high by 30%. The finale, which included a dramatic shootout (because of course it did), officially cements White Lotus as a cultural obsession with no signs of slowing down. So if you haven’t binged yet… what are you even doing?Source Restaurant’s “Skinny Discount” Is a Tight Squeeze—Literally A restaurant in Chiang Mai, Thailand is catching heat for its “skinny discount”: customers get a percentage off their meal depending on how narrow a gap they can squeeze through at the entrance. Smallest gap = 20% off Bigger gaps = smaller discounts Some are calling it a fun, physical challenge. Others say it’s body-shaming and discriminatory, especially for those who can’t (or shouldn’t have to) wedge themselves through bars to save on dinner. The backlash is building, and the restaurant has yet to respond. Source Departin’ from Parton? Petition Pushes for Dolly Airport A growing Change.org petition is asking to rename Nashville International Airport to Dolly Parton International Airport—because honestly, why shouldn’t the Queen of Country have her name on the jetway? Petition started in January Has now racked up 47,000+ signatures Suggestions include catchphrases like “Departin’ from Parton” and the airport being open not just 9 to 5 We say: let the planes fly Jolene-style.Source Nina's What's Trending is your daily dose of the hottest headlines, viral moments, and must-know stories from The Jubal Show!

With the big holiday nearly here, Greg and Ed reminisce about their various Songkran experiences over the years. Ed notes that last year was a breakthrough year: he actually went out and ‘threw water' for the first time in many years and had a blast. Greg points out that it's pretty common for expats to love Songkran at first, but then quickly switch to avoiding the raucous celebrations for many years. Greg has found special Songkran celebrations specifically designed to be kid-friendly, which has allowed him to keep in touch with the experience without a lot of the craziness.  Ed recounts his very first Songkran experience in Chiang Mai, a pivotal moment in his early years in Thailand as it was an amazingly good time that included three full days of brutal water wars. Ever since then he has been ‘chasing the dragon' of that first experience. Greg then uses AI to do some insightful comparisons between Songkran of 2005 and Songkran of 2025. The AI does a fairly good job of noting the transition of the holiday from being primarily local to being now well-known around the world, and one in which the prior emphasis was on traditional family ritual while today the experience is much more professionalized and commercial. Also check out the photo of a very young Greg at his first Songkran, with his friend Amanda. Oh to be young and wrinkle-free again! Regardles of how it has changed, Songkran remains a defining Thai experience not to be missed by tourists and expats. Just bring a good attitude and prepare to get soaked!

A perfect opportunity arose when an episode from last September featured Taylor Easum for a group discussion of his latest book, Chiang Mai between Empire and Modern Thailand: A City in the Colonial Margins. Easum is an Associate Professor of History at Indiana State University, and as some of you may know, the book under discussion is part of our “Asian Cities” book series, published by IIAS and Amsterdam University Press. As you'll hear, the podcast features rigorous, engaging, but also fun discussions on a wide array of topics pertaining to the Southeast Asia, so we encourage our listeners to go and subscribe to Southeast Asia Crossroads! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Unlock the potential of your brain with Garnet Dupuis, a pioneer in neuroplasticity, consciousness, and wellness technology. In this episode, he explores how light and sound stimulation can train the brain to be more adaptable, resilient, and creative. He introduces the NeuroVIZR, a tool designed to engage rather than entrain the brain, promoting flexibility instead of rigid patterns.We dive into the science of change, the role of marginal demand in strengthening neural pathways, and why the real transformation happens after the stimulation ends.

Today we'll be talking about the appalling state of the air quality in Chiang Mai, a Korean stars controversial badminton incident in Bangkok resurfaces in the wake of the death of his former lover, and a little later we'll take a look at the villages sinking into the ocean in Indonesia and the plans to curb the problem in the future.

For this Bonus Episode, we share a talk presented at Nowhere Books in Chiang Mai, which was hosted alongside Yucca, the Research Director at Exile Hub.We are including the following description which was prepared by event organizers:Buddhism and anarchism, though originating in distinct realms—spiritual and political—share key commonalities that make for a thought-provoking intersection. Both reject coercive authority and hierarchical structures, emphasizing individual responsibility and autonomy. Buddhism, particularly Zen, encourages personal liberation through inner peace, mindfulness, and detachment from desire, while anarchism advocates for a free, non-hierarchical society based on mutual aid and voluntary cooperation. Both traditions emphasize non-violence and compassion, valuing simplicity and interconnectedness within communities.However, notable contradictions exist. Buddhism's focus on spiritual detachment and acceptance of suffering contrasts with anarchism's drive for political resistance and material change. While Buddhists aim to alleviate suffering through personal transformation and mindfulness, anarchists see suffering as rooted in unjust social systems that require active resistance. Additionally, the hierarchical nature of some Buddhist communities contrasts with anarchism's emphasis on egalitarian, horizontal structures. Despite these differences, the overlapping values of personal freedom, non-violence, and community-based ethics make the relationship between Buddhism and anarchism a fascinating area of exploration.The talk was presented at Nowhere Books, a “third culture” Chinese language space whose cultural activities include lectures, publishing, curation, theme camps and other programs. It was part of a series called the Digital Humanities Un, an initiative sponsored by digi-cnx, a local Chiang Mai network committed to dialogue and research on how digital technologies are impacting both people and our planet. Many thanks to Dev Lewis for his role in helping to arrange the talk.

Following a great suggestion from listener Kelly, Greg and Ed discuss the ‘expat bubble,' the tendency for expats (and tourists) to primarily spend time with foreigners, rather than experience the same Bangkok that the majority of Thais are experiencing. Kelly noted that on her recent solo travels in Bangkok, she often found truly Thai markets that were very cheap with delicious food but also that she was the only Westerner there. Certain other cheap food courts, such as those in Big C, would have a more mixed customer base. What gives? Greg and Ed do their best to untangle the mystery. Perhaps the ‘super-Thai' markets appeared too dirty to anyone but long-term expats, with tiny plastic chairs sitting among random detritus, food apparently kept sitting out too long, and the potential of random vermin running across your feet. Or could it be the expected lack of English and the social awkwardness of functioning among Thai who might not be used to tourists and foreigners? This certainly kept Greg from experiencing ‘real' Thailand during his first wasted half-year in Chiang Mai. The boys note that a lot of what's going on might just boil down to personality type. Some of us expats and tourists are just naturally more adventurous and willing to put up with some embarrassment in order to try something new. While others stick to the predictable path, if not Starbucks or McDonald's, then a ‘Thai' food court in a clean, international mall. In the end, Greg and Ed make the case for reminding yourself that perhaps 80% of Thais in Bangkok rarely interact with foreigners, and it's their lives that actually constitute the ‘real' Thailand. So if you want to experience something really new and different and not just safe, it's probably worth giving some of those crowded, hot and grimy markets a go. At the very least, you'll save money and eat well! :) Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks.

Send us a textHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul and this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, I am delighted to welcome Bill, creator of Ritzy Travel Guide. As many listeners know, I am a serial viewer of YouTube cruise channels, watching them continuously while I work on my podcast and will even play them on mute when I listen to music. They are informative and sometimes introduce me to prospective podcast guests. That was the case with the Ritzy Travel Guide. Bill's seductive voice and accent first caught my attention, but more substantively Ritzy Travel Guide's great content made me a regular viewer.Bill and his wife first cruised in 1997 and have never looked back. They enjoy variety and spread their cruises amongst as many cruise lines as possible, rather than sticking to one or the other! Like me and Cheryl, they find them all so different and love aspects of each. They split their year roughly into three parts: 1. Europe; 2. North America, and 3. Asia. Bill notes, ‘You might say we are travel nomads! Love the culture and differences of each.'Ritzy Travel Guide's preference in ships is those under 3000 passengers. Bill emphatically points out they are not fans of mega-ships. ‘We prefer the more intimate, conversational style of small to medium ships. That being said we're adventurous, and also book the livelier ships, such as Virgin. We're also huge fans of the Celebrity Edge class of ships.' Two of my favorites—no wonder they caught my attention on YouTube.  Ritzy Travel Guide also does land-based vacations but have rarely featured them on their YouTube channel. That's about to change. Bill says, ‘Starting this year we will mix cruise and land content on our channel, to have a 'Grand Tour' feel to it.' Speaking of Grand Tour, around the time this episode airs they are embarking on an amazing journey: In February and March, they are doing a 6-week Asian trip, including jungle touring in Thailand, staying at a train-themed hotel in the deep jungle, feeding elephants breakfast from a tree-top canopy, staying in a bamboo eco resort on stilts over the water, and taking an overnight sleeper from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. Take me with you! That's just the beginning—we'll let Bill tell you about their other plans.Relying on ship wifi is slow, unsecure, sometimes not available & at foreign ports travelers don't want to pay their carriers' high fees.

Today we'll be talking about uncertainty surrounding retiree bank accounts in Thailand, a border dispute involving the militaries of both Cambodia and Thailand, and a little later calls from Malaysia's leadership for a unified Muslim response to the crisis in Gaza.

Today on the show, we're doing something a little different: a special travel episode, featuring Aliza and her girlfriend, Shirley Chan. Shirley's a talented cinematographer and also a favorite travel partner. They just came back from a month in Asia visiting Thailand and Shirley's family in Taiwan. In this episode, they dive deep into recs for Taipei, Kaohsiung, Taichung, and Tainan, with a stopover in Chiang Mai and Bangkok too. It's a must listen if you're planning a trip to either country, and even if you're not, it's still a lot of fun. Do you enjoy This Is TASTE? Drop us a review on Apple, or star us on Spotify.

His parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles were performers and by age ten, he had acquired more fame than anyone yet in the Polinsky acting dynasty. But the pathway to happiness has been more circuitous. Alex played Adam Powell (who had Charles in Charge of him from ages 10 to 16.) Not the best supervision. Alex stepped forward during the #MeToo movement, along with his co-star, Nicole Eggert, to allege that he was persistently bullied, tormented and sexually harassed by the star of the show. Charles in Charge was not a safe set for children but Universal had recently turned their backlot into a theme park and Alex enjoyed the run of it… to the point where his adventuring through attractions triggered lasers that awakened floods and giant apes! He had the opportunity to learn from veteran actors and special effects masters. Lessons and wisdom that informed his future endeavors.Alex transitioned from actor to toymaker, designing the molds that shaped icons of creative play… Polly Pocket and the talking Pee Wee Herman doll. But he dreamed of becoming an action figure and his voice over work has shrink wrapped exactly that! He voices Control Freak in Teen Titans, Argit in Ben 10 and Darington in Blaze and the Monster Machines. All now action figures!Alex's parents valued spirituality, and when he was ready to begin his healing journey he turned to Buddhism and its tenets of mindfulness and self-discovery. His fascination with the Theravada school of Thai Buddhism recently brought him to a monastery in Chiang Mai where he studied its history and is planning on recording the audiobook version of the biography of influential monk Ācariya Mun Bhūridatta Thera!Alex's band with Johnny Vallone is called Make Magic. Their new album is Before Your Very Eyes and they describe their music as evocative, emotional, impressionistic, alt rock/pop with a theatrical flair. All that plus a rousing round of IMDB Roulette!In recommendations --Fritz: The movie Conclave, Streaming on Several PlatformsWeezy: The PBS Series Funny WomanPath Points of Interest:Alexander PolinskyAlexander Polinsky on IMDBAlexander Polinsky on WikipediaMake MagicMake Magic on SpotifyMake Magic on Apple MusicĀcariya Mun Bhūridatta Thera biographyAlexander Polinksy on InstagramAlexander Polinksy on TiktokAlexander Polinksy on XConclave (2024)Funny Woman - PBSMedia Path Podcast
