 Podcast: Meditation retreat with Wat Suan Dok
from Earthoria.com
May 21, 2008
Tina and I have just returned from the meditation retreat organised by the Wat Suan Dok Monk Chat program in Chiang Mai. The retreat groups depart from Wat Suan Dok at about 2pm every Tuesday. You can listen to the Meditation Podcast Tina and I made on the retreat by clicking the play button below: This meditation retreat is intended purely as an introduction to various Buddhist meditation techniques, as well as an overview of Thai Buddhism and culture - and it s facilitated by the Chiang Mai Campus of the MCU Buddhist University. Having just returned from our retreat, we d both thoroughly recommend you do the course during your time in Chiang Mai. Although we have spent several years in Thailand, we still found that we learned a lot from the informative presentations and discussions we had with the monks. Plus we re feeling pretty chilled out and mindful which is always a bonus. Further information Normally the meditation retreat lasts approximately 24 hours - from Tuesday lunch time until Wednesday lunch time, although during the last week of every month the course lasts from Tuesday lunch time until Thursday lunch time. Full details of the Meditation retreat workshop program are available from the Monk Chat Meditation Retreat website. The Meditation Retreat program is funded purely through donations, and as a guideline we suggest you leave a donation of somewhere between 200THB and 1000THB per day that you attend the program - depending of course on how wealthy/generous you are.

Podcast: CELTA course in Chiang Mai
from Earthoria.com
May 20, 2008
In February and March this year, Tina and I decided to do CELTA courses with ECC in Chiang Mai. During our courses (we did the CELTA separately on two consecutive months) Tina and I kept an audio diary of our experiences. You can listen to this below. CELTA stands for Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults, and it s a highly intensive four week course resulting in an internationally recognised English teaching qualification. CELTA is one type of TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) qualification. For information about the CELTA course we did, along with its costs, please see my previous post from March.

Sound file: Rain storm in Chiang Mai
from Earthoria.com
April 22, 2008
It is coming to the end of the dry season, and Chiang Mai has just been subjected to several weeks of intense heat, hardly relieved at all this year by Songkran (the water festival). It has been so hot that I have started to find it quite difficult living here. A good night s sleep has become a thing of the past, and you find yourself sweating around the clock - you wake up damp, and go to bed damp. Not very pleasant at all! Last night the weather finally broke, and the sounds you hear in this audio file are the sounds of the first storm following this build up. I m happy to say it s now gray with temperatures probably back around 30 degrees again! Bring on the rains! If you liked it, please bookmark it!

Sound file: Chiang Mai street sounds 1
from Earthoria.com
April 12, 2008
This was recorded in our street in Chiang Mai, Thailand at about 6pm on a weekday night - in early April. Every night the cicadas start screeching at about the same time, and in the background (if you listen carefully) you can hear the sounds of the local community announcer chatting away through the loud-speakers strategically positioned on lamp posts at the end of our road.

 Chiang Mai, Thailand
from Fat Belly Travler Food and Travel Vlogs
May 02, 2007
Quicktime version Flash version Most tourists only get to Bangkok or maybe one of the beach resorts when they visit Thailand. But there is much more to this fascinating country, about the size of France, than what is commonly known. The major city of Chiang Mai in northern Thailand is rich with cultural treasures and natural wonders. Temples in the forest have a peaceful atmosphere, the night market throbs with life and a Tuk Tuk ride is always a thrill. The custom of releasing birds, liberating them is often practiced in the grounds of Buddhist temples in Thailand. It is considered very good Karma to be liberating creatures from their confinement. It is a metaphor of what we need to do to our own spirits. The contradiction is that the birds are raised specifically for the purpose of selling their release. One wonders about the Karma of the captors - but there are worse ways to make a living.
