truly and yoga.
Long Stay
is possible
as well--we're not right for everyone but very right for
some, and have had guests in
full or partial
Retreat
for up to 6 months--writers, thinkers, bodies and minds in recovery, lives
being rebuilt.
Finally, this is also the home of the poet,
Christopher Woodman,
and we welcome writers, artists, musicians and indeed
anyone who is troubled by the muse!
All our therapies and services are as green and simple as this open floor with its hand-glazed tiles. OUR CREDENTIALS ( click for more information below ) Baan Hom Samunphrai ("The House of Sweet Smelling Herbs") is the home of Maw Samunphrai ("Herbal Medicine Doctor") Homprang Chaleekanha, 50, a specialist in (Nuad Boran) and Thai Yoga (Rasidaton) and who teaches Traditional Thai Massage, Thai Therapeutic Massage and Herbal Medicine. 'Maw Hom,' as she is called, grew up in a small village on the Burmese border with no road or electricity, the only 'doctor' being her rice-farming grandmother who doubled as the local midwife and herbalist. Maw Hom is now not only licensed by the Thai Ministry of Public Health as a Traditional Doctor but as a Herbal Pharmacologist, a Traditional Midwife, and a Teacher of Thai Traditional Massage. Indeed, she is one of the first teachers in Thailand to have received the 'Nuad Boran' government accreditation. She has also travelled widely in Europe and North America, and is fluent in English as well as Thai, a rare attribute among genuine traditional healers.
