Story >> Thai MASSAGE

T

hai massage is another valued skill family and friends will appreciate. Learn about energy meridians and techniques to open up sen lines, the invisible energy channels that flow through the body. Studying Thai massage is a holistic journey that

undeniably leads to greater wellness and longevity. After receiving a Thai massage, people have increased energy as well as decreased stress and muscle tension. And the person giving the massage also gains from the experience, including the pride that can only be felt by a healer. Those feelings of compassion and giving kindness are invaluable.

Story >> MUAY THAI

A

nother study possibility is Muay Thai, often called Thai Boxing or Kick Boxing by foreigners. It is Thailand’s national sport and very prestigious. Dating back centuries, today, an increasing number of people have learned to appreciate it for staying in shape and building selfconfidence.

Fast paced and exciting bouts are fought in stadiums throughout the country. Fighters strike their opponent with their hands, feet, knees and elbows at lightening speed. It’s a demanding sport that takes a lot of training, both mental and physical, to reach fighting condition.

>> RICE FARMING

T

hailand feeds the world as the top rice exporting country, and you can learn what it takes to harvest the crop as well as gain a deep appreciation for tilling the soil and caring for the land that sustains us. As the country’ staple food, rice is at the heart of Thai culture. Farmers have passed on their rice growing skills for generations, since they

first began planting rice more than 5,500 years ago. Thai life revolves around the rice seasons. Planting in May through July when the rains start signaling the end of the dry season, the rice is ready for harvest in October or November. The Land of Smiles offers numerous places to learn about rice farming and even work with farmers. Such a learning experience can bring knowledge along with fun when you are on holiday in Thailand.
