richard peters Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I am looking for the following health products; - (preferably in the Pattaya region): - 1) Chinese "Kombucha Tea" (or a 'the fungal starter culture'), known as the 'Tea of Life,' as it has extremely wide ranging health benefits. [Originated in Korea, probably thousands of years ago, and the base is simply a sterile mixture of boiled tea and sugar]. 2) Rieshi (Siberian) or Chaba (Japanese) herbal mushrooms [or spores to enable them to be grown] for cancer treatment and general longevity / health. [These are widely used in Chinese / Japanese herbal medicine, but seem hard to obtain in Thailand. More infomation on the benefits of these is available on the internet at sites such as www.naturalhealthnews.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fforest1 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 For some strange reason Thailand is natural products hell. This site here http://www.organicthailand.com/?lang=en Is pretty amazing by Thai standards... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 You just have to ask around , so many health products are being sold here but most of them are produced in Thailand. Even the Matcha green tea that originates from Japan is produced here , same quality I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogNo1 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Great link. Thanks. Now if I could only find a local source of Lyprinol (green-lipped mussel oil.) It does wonders in reducing joint inflammation and relieving arthritis symptoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalangBaa Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 You seem to be into health and natural living. What are you doing in a place as unnatural and unhealthy as Pattaya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard Flint Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 You seem to be into health and natural living. What are you doing in a place as unnatural and unhealthy as Pattaya? What a ridiculous statement, not everybody thinks like you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard peters Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Valid point Bernard! I lived in Pattaya for more than a decade, but now live a healthier life in the mountains of NW Thailand, but am visiting Pattaya for a short time on business. However, "Farang Baa" is making assumptions, but it is possible to live a relatively healthy life in big cities with a bit of improvisation: - with air quality being the main "sticking point." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinity11 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Compared to BKK, better air can be found in and around pattaya. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Compared to BKK, better air can be found in and around pattaya. Yes , I enjoy the fresh breeze from the balcony, I live 500 meters from the sea so that helps. When I worked and lived in Bangkok I got used to the smell and pollution but it was not good for my health. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frodo77 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I have heard that there is a huge warehouse on soi 89(?) in East Pattaya over the rail tracks that sells herbs and natural products. Anyone have any info on this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes , I enjoy the fresh breeze from the balcony, I live 500 meters from the sea so that helps. When I worked and lived in Bangkok I got used to the smell and pollution but it was not good for my health. Despite being a bit off topic, i have traded a great social and work life in Bangkok for a more lonely less occupied but physically healthy more accessible life to nature and healthy living, breathing, hiking and exploring. I guess nowhere is perfect but i am sure there is ALWAYS better out there, be it in Thailand or other places, where maybe i could have it all: decent 'normal' types of working people, expats and retirees, and great people who aren't passing through and don't leave town in a a few days, and are not looking for a hustle or only money, both thai and farang , along with fresh air and natural areas to explore. I might be dreaming but always good to dream of a better life. No place is perfect and has issues and problems but better, more fulfilling, yes, there always is (says yoda) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
