Given that one of the first things Thai people ask each other<br />
when they meet up is “Have you eaten yet?”, it is clear the<br />
nation is extremely passionate about its food. Want to know<br />
how good a Thai restaurant is? Don’t look at the menu, the<br />
decor or even the prices. Look at the number of people inside.<br />
That’s your quality indicator.<br />
Tom Yam Kai Wan Noodle is one of these restaurants: very<br />
small, with no air condition and looking like a street food stall.<br />
But it serves the most delicious noodle soup in town!<br />
最 美 味 的 冬 阴 功 酸 辣 虾 汤<br />
鉴 于 泰 国 人 见 面 时 最 先 问 候 的 话 中 有 一 句 是 “ 你 吃 过 了 吗 ?”。<br />
可 知 这 个 国 家 的 人 很 显 然 对 于 吃 具 有 非 常 高 的 热 情 。 你 想 知 道 一 个 泰<br />
国 餐 厅 有 多 好 ? 不 要 看 菜 单 、 店 面 装 修 甚 至 价 格 。 看 看 里 面 的 人 的<br />

冬 阴 功 酸 辣 虾 汤 是 这 些 餐 馆 能 带 给 您 的 美 味 , 餐 厅 通 常 非 常 小 ,<br />

STORY<br />
Sak Yant<br />
Thailand’s Traditional Tattoo Revival<br />
泰 国 传 统 纹 身 的 复 兴<br />
Tattoos are popular across the world, amongst young and old, to remember a<br />
loved one, stand out in the crowd, remind the individual of an important personal<br />
intention, or simply as a piece of beautiful body artwork.<br />
Fascinatingly, the art of tattooing is an age-old practice in<br />
South East Asia steeped in tradition, mysticism and meaning.<br />
Known in Thailand as “sak yant”, tattoo work is traditionally<br />
done caringly with a bamboo rod and plant based ink, either<br />
by a Buddhist monk or an ajaarn (teacher) who has been<br />
trained and is committed to Buddhist precepts. Sak yant’s are<br />
imbibed with meaning. The most common tattoos symbolise<br />
strength, protection and power. Historically, tattoo’s were<br />
given to soldiers before war to protect them and encourage<br />
them as they defended their lands. Tattooed warriors can be<br />
seen in temple murals such as Wat Nairong, Bangkok.<br />
Although popularly understood as a Buddhist tradition,<br />
sak yant is actually an intriguing blend of animism, early-<br />
Hinduism and Buddhism. Animism is a belief system of many<br />
indigenous peoples across the world, including South East<br />
Asia, which accepts that everything in nature has a spiritual<br />
essence. If nature spirits are disrespected then they may do<br />
harm. This belief still plays an important role in tattoo traditions<br />
in South East Asia.<br />
The century old tattoo tradition was popular across Thailand,<br />
Laos, Cambodia, Eastern Burma and Southern China until<br />
the 20th century. With the advent of modernization, Christian<br />
missionaries and later Communist movements in the region,<br />
the practice started to die out. In Thailand it continued to be<br />
practiced in rural areas, however city folk became increasingly<br />
disinterested.<br />
Interestingly, it took a Hollywood<br />
celebrity to raise the profile and<br />
popularity of the sak yant! In 2003,<br />
Angelina Jolie came to Thailand and<br />
had her first sak yant tattooed on her<br />
left shoulder blade. This has increased<br />
its popularity amongst Westerners<br />
seeking out tattoo masters on their<br />
travels.<br />
A local Chiang Mai artist remembers<br />
that his great grandfather had sak<br />
yant all over his body, including a<br />
traditional tattoo in which the top of his<br />
legs were covered like a pair of shorts<br />
that was ‘beautiful’. He muses that in<br />
the late 20th century Lanna culture<br />
has been less a part of daily life. He<br />
reflects with his friend that despite<br />
the increase in popularity, it is relative<br />
compared to the extensiveness of the<br />
practice centuries ago. Many young<br />
Thai people don’t get sak yant these<br />
days as it is quite painful and there<br />
are many Buddhist precepts that<br />
need to be followed if it is taken with<br />
full understanding and sincerity. For<br />
example, not being allowed to have<br />
too many beers.<br />
However, for those interested in the<br />
sak yant revival, there are a number<br />
of tattoo masters across Thailand<br />
that keep the tradition alive. There<br />
are even dedicated tour companies!<br />
A number of tattoo parlors can also<br />
replicate designs similar to that of a<br />
sak yant but these artists do not follow<br />
the codes, or understand the deeper<br />
meaning so it is just like getting a<br />
regular tattoo (read article page 18).<br />
8 9
The process of obtaining a sak yant is ritualized, and<br />
only those tattoo masters (monks and trained ajaarns) that<br />
imbibe and fully understand the deep essence of its meaning<br />
can pass on the qualities to the receiver of the tattoo. The<br />
process of getting a sak yant requires deep conversation in<br />
which the artist chooses a tattoo for you, a series of prayers,<br />
the tattooing process itself, and additional prayers and<br />
offering ceremonies. It is a very deep and involved process<br />
filled with meaning, ritual, and elements of magic. A recent<br />
receiver of a sak yant, explained that he felt “blessed” by the<br />
whole process, and it was incomparable from receiving his<br />
regular tattoos.<br />
These days a metal rod is used, based on the traditional<br />
bamboo design. The process is still the same. Some masters<br />
do the work freehand, while others work with a pre-designed<br />
piece of paper placed on the skin. The smaller tattoo’s<br />
typically take only ten to twenty minutes, while the larger<br />
ones take up to a few hours.<br />
Renowned travel journalist Joe Cummings looks at the<br />
many variations of the tattoos and their meaning in his<br />
relatively recent book:<br />
“Sak yant typically feature a combination of alphabetic<br />
syllables and geometric designs. Some may also depict<br />
deities, sacred animals or mythical creatures from the<br />
Hindu-Buddhist tradition… The thousands of designs – no<br />
one knows exactly how many are in common use – are<br />
meant to serve a variety of purposes”.<br />
He explains that many people who seek a sak yant work<br />
in risky occupations and seek protection from physical<br />
danger or desire physical and mental power to help them<br />
survive.Others seek bureaucratic power, romantic charisma,<br />
forgiveness for past wrong doings, and there are also many<br />
designs for good fortune and wealth. The designs may be<br />
geometric in nature or include deities, Buddha images or<br />
animal designs. For more detail on the fascinating history<br />
and intricacy of the sak yant process check out “Sacred<br />
Tattoos of Thailand: Exploring the Magic, Masters and<br />
Mystery of Sak Yant”.<br />
It is worth researching the in-depth meaning of the sak yant<br />
if you, or someone you know decides to get one, as it is not<br />
a regular tattoo but a tradition steeped in meaning. If you<br />
are a woman seeking a sak yant check first if the master is<br />
comfortable giving tattoos to women. Traditionally, both men<br />
and women can receive tattoos, however these days it is a<br />
matter of personal preference of the monk or ajaarn.<br />
Some devotees of the sak yant become lost in the illusion<br />
and magic surrounding the practice. A traditional practice is<br />
to revisit your tattoo master each year to recharge the power<br />
of your tattoo. However, this has been taken to the extreme<br />
at Wat Kru, just an hour out of Bangkok, where over 10,000<br />
people gather each year to be re-charged. Reports describe<br />
people being “possessed by tattoos” and in a state of public<br />
frenzy. It is a spectacle to behold which some argue takes<br />
away from the practice as a common cultural tradition that<br />
people of the region have held dear for centuries.<br />
If you are interested in a sak yant, take your time to<br />
research and reflect on whether it is something for you<br />
and find a qualified master (there are a few in the book we<br />
mentioned, plus read our review page 18). Then you can<br />
share the significance of this cultural symbol back home!<br />

Monk Eak doing a Sak Yant at Mae Tao Hai Temple<br />
Where to get<br />
a Sak Yant<br />
Tattoo<br />
in Chiang Mai?<br />
Monk Eak from<br />
Mae Tao Hai Temple<br />
See city map H5<br />
Traditional sak yant tattoos are hand-etched onto the skin<br />
using ancient geometric designs mixed with Buddhist<br />
prayers. They are believed to give the wearer magic powers<br />
associated with healing, luck, strength and protection against<br />
evil.<br />
Buddhist monks originally engraved sak yant into warriors<br />
seeking protection and strength in battle. Often covering their<br />
entire bodies from head to toe in magic symbols to prevent<br />
knives and arrows from piercing their skin.<br />
No machines are used to create a sak yant tattoo. These<br />
traditional Thai tattoos are engraved into skin with a long<br />
metal spike or bamboo sharpened to a point. The needle is<br />
dipped into ink and repeatedly jabbed through your flesh by<br />
hand.<br />
In Chiang Mai you can receive a sak yant tattoo at Mae Tao<br />
Hai temple, in Mae Jo area. Monk Eak has practiced sak yant<br />
for more than ten years, he has study in many places such as<br />
Mae Jaem, Nan and Burma. Monk Eak does Sak Yant tattoos<br />
in the real traditional way, with prayers and special ink. He<br />
does tatto everyday except on Wednesdays and on Buddha<br />
days but he does not tattoo women. If you wish to have a sak<br />
yant tatto made by him, you might want to take a Thai friend<br />
with you to help you translate. You should also bring nine<br />
white flowers, five candles and nine incens sticks.<br />
If you are running out of time or do not have any friend who could<br />
help you translate, visit Sak Yant Shop in the old city of Chiang Mai.<br />
It is located at 7 arak Road soi 5. (Tel. 095-690 8886)<br />

Inner Peace<br />
Try a Meditation Retreat In Chiang Mai<br />
Thailand is among the world’s premier travel destinations<br />
with the kingdom’s way of life, traditions and culture creating<br />
a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere for visitors. This,<br />
coupled with the country’s deep-rooted Buddhist faith, makes<br />
Thailand a perfect destination where one can relax, find inner<br />
peace and develop a healthy mind, body and spirit through<br />
Buddhist meditation.<br />
Meditation brings greater awareness and increases<br />
wisdom of thoughts, words and actions. Meditation is not a<br />
form of escapism from daily life but rather the opposite. It<br />
teaches people to recognize and understand their problems.<br />
By doing so they are in a better position to face up to them.<br />
There are many books in English about meditation available<br />
but whilst the method of meditation can be taught, it is<br />
something that an individual must experience. As a leading<br />
centre of Buddhist learning with a growing number of<br />
meditation retreats around the country, meditation teaching is<br />
widely available for Thais and visitors alike.<br />
In Chiang Mai, you can check out these different places<br />
which are famous for meditation retreats:<br />
- Suan Dok Temple : “Monk Chat” programs every Monday,<br />
Wednesday and Friday from 5pm to 7pm. They also have<br />
a meditation center outside of town with two and four day<br />
programes.<br />

REAL EXPERIENCES<br />
FROM TRAVELERS:<br />
To the uninitiated, deep meditation<br />
might seem like a fairly relaxing practice,<br />
but speak to those who have attended<br />
local retreats and you begin to<br />
understand that it is a lot tougher than<br />
many realise. It is not uncommon<br />
to hear people refer to it as one of the<br />
most difficult things they have ever<br />
done. Surprisingly, those that find it<br />
the most difficult are also the first to<br />
extol the virtues of it.<br />
“I never understood how much work<br />
deep meditation could be. I felt quite<br />
exhausted at the end of each day”, said<br />
one student who attended a ten-day<br />
retreat in Mae Hong Son to further<br />
his understanding of the practice.<br />
“While experiencing incredible peace<br />
at times, I also discovered that far from<br />
doing nothing, meditation involves<br />
intense concentration and mindfulness<br />
requires great exertion.”<br />
He says he experienced his meditation<br />
deepening with every day of the<br />
program. “I found it easier to relax<br />
into a state of mindfulness and<br />
concentrate on my breathing. As<br />
we approached the end of the<br />
course, I felt a bit saddened. Despite<br />
the tough start, I had really begun to<br />
enjoy it.<br />
Another who attended the meditation<br />
retreat at Wat Doi Suthep, says she<br />
found the process extremely difficult.<br />
“I wanted to leave at least three times,”<br />
she laughs. “I found the deprivation<br />
of stimulus really frustrating at first. I<br />
couldn’t quiet my mind; it was running<br />
all over the place.” By the end of the<br />
program she said the outside world<br />
felt more “amplified”. “My hearing and<br />
vision just felt much more acute to the<br />
point of sensory overload near crowds<br />
or loud things. I also felt lighter and<br />
more good humoured than before.”<br />
She says the experience even<br />
challenged her self-perception. “I had<br />
some very set ideas, but I found getting<br />
beyond that, I’ve become more gentle<br />
with myself.”<br />

Event Must See<br />
World Wai Kru Muay Thai Ceremony<br />
Scheduled to be held in Ayutthaya on March 17th, this year’s<br />
“Wai Kru Muay Thai Ceremony” event will once again allow<br />
Muay Thai boxers from Thailand and around the world to pay<br />
respect to their teachers and for visitors to celebrate and learn<br />
about this ancient martial art.<br />
The Wai Kru Muay Thai Ceremony is an age-old tradition that<br />
sees Thai boxers show gratitude and appreciation to their trainers<br />
with a “wai”, a beautiful display of respect. Fighters perform<br />
a series of dance-like movements accompanied by traditional<br />
music.<br />
Since 2004, boxers from all over the world have come<br />
to the ancient Thai capital of Ayutthaya to perform the<br />
ceremony and pay homage to the statue of Nai Khanom<br />
Tom, a Thai hero who was famed for his victories over ten<br />
Burmese fighters in 1774 after the sacking of Ayutthaya.<br />
The 12th World Wai Kru Muay Thai Ceremony will take place<br />
at the Ayutthaya Historical Park and there will be activities<br />
from 13.00 to 19.30, around the central temple Wat Langkha<br />
Khao. A Miracle Muay Thai Festival, hosted by TAT and the<br />
Professional Boxing Association of Thailand, will allow visitors<br />
to learn about the history of Thai boxing and its fighting<br />
techniques. There will also be displays of sword making,<br />
traditional Thai tattoos, live music shows and exhibition fights<br />
by students from some of Thailand’s many boxing camps.<br />
Ayutthaya city is located 500 km from Chiang Mai on the way to<br />
Bangkok. Buses and trains leave daily from Chiang Mai Arcade<br />
Bus Station and Chiang Mai train station.<br />

AROUND<br />
Crested Finchbill<br />
Bird watching<br />
in Chiang Dao<br />
Back to Nature Week End<br />
Slaty-bellied Tesia<br />
Grey-headed Parrotbill<br />
Chiang Dao is a small town near Chiang Mai, only 70 kilometers<br />
away. The region is well-suited for eco-tourism, with many trails<br />
framed by the beautiful view of the mountains. There are easy<br />
trekking options and longer hikes that require some preparation,<br />
which lead to the flags located on the top of the mountain.<br />
The most popular place is Chiang Dao Cave, which was<br />
partially transformed into a Buddhist temple. Steps and handrails<br />
make it a very accessible tour. In addition, artificial lighting allows<br />
you to observe in detail the geology of the cave. If you prefer, you<br />
can also hire a local guide to visit the other sectors of the cave,<br />
which are mostly unchanged and are home to many bats.<br />
Once in Chiang Dao be sure to visit Wat Tham Pha Plong, the<br />
temple in the forest. Despite the 500 steps up to the mountain, it is<br />
a light walk and there are many rest stops. Along the way you will<br />
find several messages with Buddhist teachings, most translated<br />
into English. The way to the temple is colored by a large number<br />
of birds, such as the beautiful Asian Paradise Flycatcher and the<br />
discrete Violet Cuckoo. Even the most distracted visitor will not<br />
fail to notice the variety of Bulbul species.<br />
Doi Chiang Dao National Park is the third highest mountain in<br />
Thailand. The variety of forest types and altitude of this mountain,<br />
combined with its close proximity to Myanmar, result in a large<br />
number of exciting birds to be seen. Two species are the main<br />
target birds for most birders: the Giant Nuthatch and Hume’s<br />
Pheasant. Both of these occupy the higher areas of the national<br />
park where they are regularly seen. Scaly Thrush is another<br />
highly sought-after bird which can be encountered at the higher<br />
altitudes.<br />
Grey-headed Parrotbill, Crested Finchbill, various Thruses and<br />
black-tailed Crake are other memorable birds that can be seen<br />
higher up the mountain. In the gullies and damp patches around<br />
the base of Chiang Dao, secretive species such as Slaty-bellied<br />
Tesia, Scaly-breasted Partridge, White-crowned Forktail, Hooded<br />
Pitta and Rusty-naped Pitta can be discovered with patience.<br />
If you wish to go bird watching in Chiang Dao, there are many<br />
specialized agencies and guides available in the little town. You<br />
can also ask your hotel receptionist.<br />
You may plan to stay only a day in Chiang Dao, but friendly<br />
and comfortable bungalows bekon you to spend a night or two.<br />
One of our favorite place is Nature Home Guest House (THB<br />
400-800/night | tel. 089-913 3911) : just a few bungalows in a<br />
large garden facing the big mountain.<br />
Chiang Dao is located north of Chiang Mai and can be reached<br />
following highway 107 toward Fang and Tathon. It is also very<br />
accessible by public transport. Buses to Chang Dao and Fang<br />
leave from Chang Puak bus station every 30 minutes. After<br />
arriving in the city just grab a yellow Song Taew taxi to the cave,<br />
to the temple or to your chosen bungalow. Have a nice weekend!<br />

REN-<br />
CONTRE<br />
Jiraporn Pala<br />
Directrice de Srimantra Spa<br />
C’est devenu un rituel. Inéxorablement, année après année,<br />
le Srimantra Spa se classe dans l’élite des meilleurs spa de<br />
Chiang Mai. Chambre du Commerce, Trip Advisor, Ministère de<br />
la Santé Publique, Thai Spa Standard Association... autant de<br />
groupes et d’associations qui sont spécialisés dans le monde du<br />
tourisme et lui remettent leur plus grandes récompenses.<br />
Est-ce grâce à son architecture stylée, en plein coeur de la<br />
ville? La qualité de ses services? Ou l’utilisation de produits<br />
naturels? Sans doute est-ce tout ceci à la fois, et une chose<br />
encore: cette attention au client, quasi-effective que chaque<br />
membre de l’équipe témoigne à toute personne franchissant<br />
les portes de Srimantra Spa. Nous avons donc rencontré Mme<br />
O-Jiraporn Pala, directrice de Srimantra Spa, afin qu’elle nous<br />
dévoile quelques secrets de la réussite de sa compagnie.<br />
Qu’est-ce que le “Service” à Srimantra Spa?<br />
Notre philosophie tient en une phrase: “donner à<br />
nos visiteurs le meilleur de nous même”. Cela se<br />
traduit par une véritable culture du service et l’envie<br />
de non seulement satisfaire le client, mais d’aller au<br />
devant et surtout au-delà de ses attentes.<br />
Décrivez nous votre lieu de<br />
travail.<br />
Srimantra Spa est un petit bijou. Situé à deux pas<br />
du night bazaar, il a été crée dans un esprit très zen.<br />
L’aspect extérieur le fait ressembler à une grotte et<br />
lorsque vous entrez à l’intérieur vous vous trouvez dans<br />
un espace serein, clair et reposant. Un havre de paix<br />
en plein coeur de la ville de Chiang Mai! La tonalité des<br />
couleurs utilisées sont le blanc et le crème: le blanc pour<br />
son aspect calme, le crème pour se raprocher de la terre<br />
et la nature. Chaque fenêtre des salles de massage<br />
donne sur un petit jardin tropical. Notre spa propose<br />
toute une gamme de soins corporels et esthétiques, un<br />
hammam aux herbes ainsi que des bains de lait pour<br />
deux. Nos clients attendent de nos soins de véritable<br />
résultats et nous sommes engagés à leur assurer<br />
les meilleurs traitements, tant par l’expertise de nos<br />
thérapeutes que par les produits naturels utilisés. Nous<br />
proposons aussi un service gratuit pour aller chercher<br />
nos clients à leur hôtel et les y re-deposer.<br />
Votre clientèle est-elle éxigeante?<br />
Oui, et cela nous motive énormément. Pour assurer<br />
le bien être de notre clientèle nous gérons en interne un<br />
millier de petits détails afin de s’assurer que leur visite<br />
au Srimantra Spa sera mémorable. L’anticipation est<br />
un point essentiel, et nous devons penser à toutes les<br />
choses qui pourraient rendre l’expérience de nos clients<br />
sublimée.<br />
Qu’elle est la spécialité de Srimantra Spa?<br />
Nous nous démarquons avec notre thérapie de la<br />
pyramide de cristal: après les soins nos thérapeutes<br />
placent au dessus de votre tête une pyramide de cristal<br />
dont le son active les chakras et stimule les sens.<br />
Nous sommes fiers d’être le seul spa de Chiang Mai<br />
à proposer cette thérapie qui enchante chacun de nos<br />
clients.<br />
Quel est la moyenne de prix à Srimantra Spa?<br />
Nous proposons toute une série de soins et de packages<br />
qui commencent à partir de 2,000 Baht pour deux<br />
heures, incluant un hammam aux herbes, un massage<br />
Lanna ainsi qu’un massage avec les boules aux herbes<br />
traditionnelles. Nous proposons aussi des promotions<br />
chaque mois, en ce moment nous offrons 25% de<br />
réduction pour toute réservation faite directement sur<br />
notre site.<br />
