Tiger Moth Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 There is at least one Doc in BNH in BKK that provides acupuncture. Personally, having been treated many years ago, I think acupuncture as it originally existed is unfortunately gone. (Oh, there is a Chinese guy on Lang Suan that does this - located about 75% towards Suan Lumpini (Lang Suan is a very long street). Anyway, today acupuncurists use needles connected to some electical source. Artifically stimulate muscles. In the past, they knew where the needles shoud be inserted for healing. Personally, I think it is a lost "art". The Chinese guy on Lang Suan uses this electrical stimulation stuff. I found the treatment to be of no use. The only part that I appreciated was the humor - this guy doesn't speak Thai or English. His "assistants:" are Thai. So, I would try to explain in my limited Thai to the assistants who spoke limited English, my problem. And, they in their limited Chinese would try to explain to the Doc. The bottom line was, after conversing with his assistants, who tried in their limited Chinese to explain what I had said in my limited Thai, no one knew what the fcuk was going on. Anyway, good luck to you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLeakHunt Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 There's a fucking huge acupuncture clinic near Bobae Market. Acupuncture clinic If you go from Hua Lamphong to Bobae market its on your left hand side on the stretch of road adjacent to the canal that fringes the market. Its full of sick people and there's this stunningly beautiful nurse who ignored me every time I went there to get my knee fixed. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mu-lay Posted September 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Thank you very much for the info. Last year I hurt my back something fierce in Chiang Mai. Seen a lady doctor from China, can not remember the name of the clinic. Back has not hurt since that time. Now my neck has started acting up. Nothing like getting old. Anyways thanks for the help. Back in the land of smiles - 8days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Moth Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Do they treat you the old fashioned way or were the needles hooked up electrically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLeakHunt Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 They just stick the needles in you and let you lie there for forty minuted. Theres a section where they put slugs on you and another place where they blow weird smelling smoke into something that looks like a brandy glass and stick it to the necessary spot. Take a book as well you'll do a bit of sitting waiting. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Moth Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Thanks. Sounds good. I have faith in traditional acupuncture. The "modern" use of electrical stimulation, I have no faith in at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
