Existe t'il une médecine traditionelle en Thailande comme elle existe je crois en Chine depuis des milliers d'années ou bien les thais ont tendance à se tourner vers une médecine plus traditionnelle (occidentale) ?
Avez vous des adresses de vrais docteurs et si oui, dans quel coin ?
quelqu'un s'est il fait soigner comme çà ? 😮
Une chose est sûre, il faut faire quelque chose !!!!!!
Existe t'il une médecine traditionelle en Thailande
Oui
On trouve en Thaïlande au moins 3 types de médecine, la thaïlandaise, la chinoise et l'occidentale.
A Bangkok, il y a une rue où il y a beaucoup de pharmacies thaïlandaises entre Bang Lampu et le wat Po, près du pont Thonburi.
Ceux qui ont habité ou habitent en Thaïlande seront plus précis, les Thuan, Thaïlsacien, Phénixthaï et autres.
Je ne connais aucune adresse à Bangkok pour la médecine chinoise, mais il existe des pharmacies chinoises dans toutes les grandes agglomérations
Quasiment tous les villages ont un "chaman" ou une "mamie" (je ne connais pas le nom Thaï 🤪) qui pratique la médecine Thaïe traditionnelle.
Mais il faut savoir que la Thailande est à la pointe en matière de médecine moderne, et ça depuis très longtemps (Rama V, c'est à dire fin 19ème). D'après ce que j'ai pu constater, ce qui pourrait être apparenté à de la médecine Thaïe traditionnelle ressemble aux remèdes dits de grand'mère en France et fonctionnent pour la "bobologie" (coupures, piqûres de scorpion, entorses, indigestion).
D'accord avec toi, si j'étais malade en Thaïlande c'est vers la médecine chinoise que je me tournerais.
En 1999 quand j'ai fait mon voyage en Chine, je suis aller voir un gars qui travaille avec les plantes je lui est expliquer que j'avais une allergie il m'a ausculter et donner deux boîtes de pilules à base de plantes deux mois après j'avais plus rien et encore maintenant plus rien .

On aura jamais assez de temps pour tout ce qu'on veut découvrir et comprendre dans nos voyages qu'on se le dise , Amis voyageurs .
merci à voous tous, je suis donc contente d'être dans la bonne voie, c'est chouette et je m'étonne que personne n'ai jamais fais de post à ce sujet, bon pur les adresses, apparement, il va falloir que j'attende un peu je crois bien🙂à moins que sidartha, thuan ou..... ne prennent rapidement la parole;
mais pourquoi vus êtes pas làààààààààààà !!
Une chose est sûre, il faut faire quelque chose !!!!!!
La médecine chinoise est présente aussi dans nos pays, il faut chercher.
Cette médecine fait partie, comme toutes les médecines traditionnelles, des médecines globales, c'est-à dire qui rétablissent un équilibre au lieu de traiter les symptômes. Quand l'équilibre revient, les symptômes disparaissent.
😉Bon...allez, je m'y colle un peu .....comme d'habitude le Piaf t'as deja pas mal aiguillé ....
Maintenant si tu veux mon humble avis, la médecine chinoise représente pour moi l'élément le plus important de la médecine, sans eux, nous n'en serions pas là aujourdh'ui !!
Ne jamais oublier que si tu es "vraiment " malade la medecine chinoise te soignera mais il faudra du temps, elle n'est que particulièrement efficace et rapide qu si tu pratique cette medecine depuis longtemps (voir depuis toujours, alors...ton équilibre (qui est donc verifier tous les ans plusieurs fois) est parfait, donc si tu as besoin d'un petit coup de pouce, cela ira tres vite, maintenant si ton corps est vraiment en désquilibre, alors oui, tu devras être patiente mais çà MARCHERA !!
La médecine Chinoise ne se contente pas de te soigner ton probléme mais de voir d'ou viens ce probléme et de là, rééquilibrer ce derneir avant de soigner celui qui t'ennuie, là est la grande difference, nous on soigne le symptome et eux soigne la CAUSE !!!
Personellement, je n'utilise que cette médecine depuis plus de 20 ans et je n'ai jamais eu à m'en plaindre;
il te suffit de bien suivre ce que l'on te dit, bien préparer tes décoctions ou infusions suivant le probleme (c'est la partie la plus contraignante mais çà devient à la longue un vrai plaisir, bien respecter les temps de "cuisson" et d'avaler le "délicieux" breuvage ......😛
Pour les adresses sur Bangkok, il ya en a pas mal, que ce soit dans le quartier Chinois, le plus dur c'est de trouver car les "vrais" se situent souvent dans de petitys soy sans nom ou même dans des arrières courres et si personne ne t'y a amener auparavant, tu as peu de chance de trouver ......la bonne adresse à moins de te faire faire un diagnostic dans une des pharmacies principale, certains te font le bilan au premier etage et te préparent ensuite ce dont tu as besoin dans le quart d'heure qui suit .
Restes ensuite les hopitaux, le meilleur Thai que je connais c'est le : THIAN FAH HOSPITAL juste à l'est de Hualampong (medecine Thai traditionelle - tu ressors souvent avec une bouteille d'un liquide....?? à boire, tu reviens ensuite pour voir si cela à marcher (tres important!!!) puis ou tu continue le traitement ou tu stoppes - le prix ??? entre "gratuit" et 400 baths .
Pour les hopitaux Chinois : c'est le HUA CHIEW Hospital (665 Bumrungmuang Road), le bus n°15 (rouge) s'arrête juste devant lorsque tu es dans "Krung Kassem road".
Tu prends un ticket en bas, tu montes au premier étage pour les massages (400 baths pour un vrai massage chinois - professeur venu de Pekin pour enseigner aux Thais) et au second pour un consultation .
Voilà, voilà, voilà...j'arrête car je pourrai en parler toute la nuit

si si continue c est interressant, mem si le lieu principal se trouve etre la thailande, je me permet de te poser qques questions sur la chine..
Parce que en fait j y vis(a luoyang)mais les deux fouis ou j ai ete malade pas moyen de trouver un medecin dit traditionnel, quelle deception! Mon boss(chinois )m a direct oriente vers un hopital d une mediocrite certaine et aux methodes occidentales la deuxieme fois, qd a la premiere fois je n ai meme pas ete examinee la pseudo infirmiere m a mis sous perf point barre!
alors bon deja que je paranoie tout le temps en matiere de medecine mais alors la, j etais paniquee!
alors tu sais ou on les trouve ces medecins trad. en Chine????ou les vraies pharmacies???(enfin vraie est un bien mauvais mot)
merci pour toutes ces infos...
ailleurs merite qu on s y attarde
"christian, nomade attitude"
voilà toute la démesure de notre siècelme..... alors qu'en occident la médecine traditionelle Chinoise commence à faire timidement son entrée car l'on considére (par force !!) que cette dernière apporte de nombreux bienfaits aux malades qu ne peuvent etre soulager et même guérris par la médecine dites "moderne", eh bien en Chine, comme tu dis, de plus en plus de patients sont orientés vers une médecine dites "rapide" qui soigne sur le moment (mais sur laquelle il faudra revenir car le mal principal n'est jamais vraiment soigné !!!
C'est un peu comm le "Mac Do", cela permets de manger vite et bon (enfin, bon, çà dépends quand même des gouts 😉 - je prends çà juste pur l'exemple !) mais de ne pas se nourir correctement .....
je ne peux malheureusement pas trop te répondre quant au fait de savoir "comment" trouver un vrai docteur tyraditionnel mais si tu habites dans un coin comme Luoyang, je pense que tu n'auras pas trop de mal à trouver; essayes d'aller dans les vieux quartier et les pharmacies nemanqueront pas, demande aux "personnes agées" qui t'aideront certainement même si parfois le language reste une barrière chez eux .....
Sinon, encore une fois, en dehors du fait de connaitres un adresse que quelqu'un te donnera, vas dans les pharmacies (anciennes de préference) et demandes (pas facile non plus mais bon, si moi qui ne parle que 10 mots de Chinois j'y arrive 😛, tu devrais as avoir trop de mal) leur de te conseiller quelqu'un (qu'ils auront d'ailleurs peut etre sous la main dans cette même pharmacie à l'étage ...
Bon, je te réponds pas vraiment mais je ne connais malheureusement pas tous lles médecins Chinois ...
Amicalement à toi et bonne journée

I’m planning a trip to Japan next year and I have asthma...
I wanted to know about the regulations regarding Ventolin (Salbutamol) in Japan—is it considered a drug? Can I bring my inhaler with me, or do I need to buy a similar product in Japan?
I have two American cousins. The older one was born in Paris, and his sister was born in California. The latter is planning a trip to Paris this summer, but she recently fell ill, and American doctors don’t know what’s wrong. I had the idea of letting her take advantage of her trip to get treated here, avoiding the high healthcare costs of the American system in the process. The problem is, I can’t find anything online about this—just testimonials from French people who used to be American, but nothing for a simple tourist.
I’m traveling to Portugal with my family and I have a treatment that requires injections. How can I take a flight with these? They look like injectable pens.
Thanks
We’re planning a trip to the Philippines from April 22 to May 8, 2026. Flight from Geneva with a layover in Turkey and Manila. Our itinerary: Angeles – Busuanga – Palawan…
The Philippines are a dream destination, but is it possible to travel there safely? I’ve heard that checked luggage often gets lost, tap water isn’t safe to drink, and mosquitoes are everywhere.
For water, what’s the best solution to carry in a backpack? Is a filtering water bottle 100% reliable?
For mosquitoes, should we treat our clothes with repellent? Are you vaccinated against hepatitis A, malaria, or dengue? Or is there an oral treatment to take?
Hi there,
Does anyone know if there’s travel insurance for someone who’s had a heart attack?
I can’t find an insurer that covers a pre-existing condition, even if it’s stable.
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, next month my wife, our 6-year-old daughter, and I are flying to Thailand. It’ll be a great chance to soak up some sun—something we’ve been missing lately here in France! But speaking of sun, I burn easily, and our daughter even more so. I was wondering what SPF to get for sunscreen and whether it’s better to buy it there or before we leave? Thanks for your tips!
Hello,
We’re planning to spend 3 months in Madagascar starting in mid-February.
Areas: Mahajanga, Tulear, Diego Suarez, and Sainte Marie—the order isn’t set yet. We’ll either drive for part of the trip or take flights.
We’ve heard all sorts of things about required vaccines and medications (is anti-malarial mandatory?). What’s the exact situation for travelers?
I’ll come back to you for other topics (like finding a reliable driver, among others).
Thank you.
Best wishes to you all,
Nicole
We're about to go on an organized trip to South Africa, including Kruger Park. We were told that Malarone should preferably be taken in the evening at the same time during a meal. But it's hard to know what time we'll have dinner, especially since I've read that in South Africa, dinner is usually around 6 PM.
I'd love to hear from people who've been on organized trips to this destination and could share their experience. We were thinking of taking Malarone around 7:30 PM, assuming dinner would be closer to 7 PM than 6 PM. Also, if the meal ends up being earlier or later than when we take the pill, would a cookie or a piece of bread be enough to take with Malarone?
I’m planning to set off on a "round-the-world" trip/long journey at the start of next year, lasting between 4.5 and 6 months. For now, the itinerary looks like this: South Korea (2 weeks) -> Japan (1 month) -> New Zealand (1 month) -> Argentina (1 month) -> United States (1 month).
I’m on medication (paroxetine 20 mg/day) and was hoping to bring enough for the entire trip so I wouldn’t have to find a doctor on the spot, deal with a molecule that might be slightly different from what’s available in France, or wonder if that’s even a possibility. Basically, it seemed simpler on paper...
But after looking into the regulations for each country, it’s suddenly way less simple . Many seem to only allow the amount corresponding to the length of your "stay" in the country... Which is a problem if I arrive in Korea with 4.5 months’ worth of medication, for example.
After all that, and even though I’ll obviously contact the relevant authorities in each country (fingers crossed for a response 😛), here’s my question:
Has anyone here had any experience with this? (Even if it’s a different medication or different countries, any input would be helpful!)
I’m trying to plan a trip to Dubai with my mom. I’ve seen that some of our medications require prior authorization (sleeping pills, codeine, anti-anxiety meds, etc.).
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been in our situation. A friend of mine applied to bring her tramadol, but it was denied—though she needed high doses!
Has anyone here gone through this process? Do we *really* need a prescription in English?
We just found out my wife is pregnant, and we’ve planned a trip to the Barlavento Islands in Cape Verde this November.
We’d like to know if there’s a real risk of Zika contamination on those islands, because from what we’ve found online, the recorded cases are old and come from the Sotavento Islands.
We’re thinking about canceling our trip.
If you’ve recently traveled to Cape Verde or live there, do you have any thoughts on this?
hi, I’m looking for information about the possibility of returning to Thailand with a portable liquid oxygen system and whether it’s possible to recharge it in Thailand, especially in Chiang Mai. thanks
I’m starting a new discussion on this topic since there doesn’t seem to be a recent one.
I have several chronic conditions (including asthma and related ones), and I’m planning to travel for a year across different countries.
Generally, I understand it’s possible to travel with approved medications (which should be my case), but often with a limit of 3 months’ worth of treatment.
Since I’m going for 12 months, that means for three-quarters of my trip, I’d have more than 3 months’ worth of medication.
I plan to bring my prescriptions with the INN (International Nonproprietary Name), as well as the original packaging (even though it’s a nightmare, but from what I understand, it’s necessary). But I’m not sure if that’s enough...
Have any of you been in this situation before? How does it work at customs—do I need to declare everything that exceeds the 3-month limit? Do I need a letter from my doctors?
I'm currently in Bangkok: How can I find a good doctor for a consultation? It's for a friend who'd like a second medical opinion compared to what they got in their country of residence.
Any professionals you'd recommend? How much does it cost?
I’ve already visited quite a few countries across several continents, but I’m pretty new to Asia.
I’m planning a trip to Thailand in October or November, and I wanted to check about health precautions: malaria treatment, vaccinations (hepatitis A or others...).
I’ll mostly be in the northern region, around Chiang Mai, where I’ll spend a lot of time in nature and the mountains. Then I’ll head south to Phuket or Krabi and visit Khao Sok National Park. I’ll finish up in Bangkok, with a likely detour to Kanchanaburi.
From what I understand, for a stay of less than 60 days, I don’t need a visa (I’m a French national)? I just need to fill out the TDAC form 3 to 5 days before arrival?
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone is heading to Cuba soon and could bring me some over-the-counter Sildenafil (viagra) tablets—available at Varadero Airport, among other places.
Hi there! So, I'm hesitating about taking a long trip. I'd like to go away for 2 to 3 months and travel across several continents. I’d love some advice. I often have unexplained allergies and need to follow a daily treatment for my diabetes (insulin). I think I can get authorization from my doctor to travel for 6 months with the treatment—is that correct? After those 6 months, is it possible (instead of bothering a relative to send the medication) to see a foreign doctor to get another 6-month travel authorization? How does it work at the airport? Do I need just one medication transport authorization, or do I have to request a new one in each country (once the treatment runs out) for both the flight and a DCI? Also, travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so will I have to pay for foreign consultations out of pocket? I’m not sure if I explained myself clearly. Oh, and just to repeat—travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so foreign consultations will be at my own expense? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi everyone.
After years of traveling to the USA without any medical insurance subscriptions—and luckily never having any major health issues (though I did get a scorpion sting buried in the sand at CBSouth, 😇)—life has caught up with us, and we’re now being forced into "wisdom" and leaving our carefree days behind.
So, I’m looking for the best compromise for a 2-month health insurance plan.
I’ve read the discussions on this topic, but the most recent one is from last year, and I’d love your take on the current situation.
I’m familiar with the usual options like Europ Assistance and AXA, but I’ve just discovered Chapka and Heymondo (the latter seems interesting in terms of both price and coverage).
What do you think of these last two? How do they compare in terms of value for money against the bigger companies?
Hi,
We’ve planned a 3-week trip to Bali this summer with our 7-year-old daughter. The itinerary includes Sanur, Nusa Lembongan, Sidemen, Amed, and Ubud. The more time passes, the more we read about people getting sick—some with mild to severe traveler’s diarrhea, and many ending up in the hospital. We, as parents, have been through it in Egypt with pretty bad cases, but we’d really like to avoid that for our daughter. Even though there’s no zero risk, and we’ll be careful, can any of you reassure me? Not everyone got sick, right? I’d love to hear positive feedback from parents, but not just them 😊. Thanks in advance!
Hi there...
I’m traveling with a friend for a month in November.
We booked our round-trip tickets from Paris to Phnom Penh, and yes, I know—it was a mistake. We should’ve flown out of Laos, but here we are.
But is it doable to backpack through both countries in a relaxed way?
I’ve seen that the transport takes a while...
Thanks so much for your replies.
Hi there,
I’ve started looking into getting dental implants, possibly in Costa Rica or Mexico.
Do you have any clinics to recommend or ones I should avoid?
For the next steps, I need to choose between Cuba Medika or Medigo—these are agencies that help with medical procedures. Do you have any info on either of them?
Hi everyone, a question for those who’ve been lucky enough to visit Raja Ampat—should you consider preventive malaria treatment given its proximity to Papua? And how was the food hygiene situation?
Thanks for your feedback! !
For several years now, increased aggression has been observed in Cape fur seals.
At least 70 unprovoked attacks on humans.
It was recently confirmed that this is due to rabies.
The suspected origin is contamination in Namibia by jackals.
The contagion seems to be spreading.
Preventive vaccination (of the animals) is being considered.
Just a reminder:
Rabies affects all mammals.
Once symptoms appear—sometimes weeks or even months later—death is inevitable.
It’s the bite that transmits the disease.
There are so-called "furious" forms with aggression, but also forms without aggression.
In case of a bite, in addition to standard wound care, tetanus prevention… rabies prevention is essential.
Stay careful out there…
Seeing seals from a boat along the coast isn’t rare in these parts…
I need 2 dental implants and I'd like to get them done abroad (it's a question of price).
Thanks for helping me with my search (Turkey, Spain, Romania???)
Can you tell me if you're satisfied with the services provided by Dentist Miguel at Club Amigo in Holguin? I'd like to go there in mid-December. Is it worth the trip to get dental prosthetics done?
Thanks for getting back to me... Michelle from Quebec
Hello,
I’m looking for a dentist who can do a full lower-arch implant with a complete prosthesis. I’m in Quebec and available to travel to Cuba. Need full contact details. Thanks everyone!
My current plan is to get my teeth treated in Cuba, especially for dental implants.
Has anyone here had experience and could refer me to a good, affordable dentist?
I’d really appreciate it if you could give me an idea of the price for one implant, since I need at least 6 done.
Thanks so much!
