REOPENING ANNOUNCEMENTS

We are now accepting Reservations in all our 2020-21 classes with No Deposit required.

You can apply for a Student Visa with  a letter from us, and the 14 Day Quarantine can be done at a hotel  in Bangkok. That's just a one hour flight from Chiang Mai, and we'll pick you up at the airport.

If you are in Thailand already you can join any of our classes with No Quarantine, and if you need a Student Visa, you can ask for help from us for that too.

Look carefully at the dates and the order of the courses below -- they are easy to take one by one or in a series from 2 to 5.

Student Visa and Quarantine Information

 

15% COVID  DISCOUNT for EVERYBODY!

If you arrive on a Student Visa and do a series of 2 or more courses at The Baan Hom Samunphrai School, we will give you a 15% discount to help you pay for the 14 Day Quarantine. In addition, those of you who have already been here for 6 months will certainly be running short of funds and need help to study here too. That is why we are offering all of you the 15% Discount as well, to make that possible.

As to ourselves, we are still supporting our 9 staff, and hope you will find a way to come and study here to help us to support them too!
 

A NOTE from HOMPRANG:

I've been working closely with the Thai Ministries of Education and  Public Health to prepare Baan Hom Samunphrai to hold classes in the safest way with temperature-taking and appropriate distancing. Everybody will have their own private bedroom, of course, and there will be additional facilities for hand washing. As a student you will have all your meals here with us, of course, and do very little if any traveling around, so you will be as safe as you can be anywhere. And don't worry, I won't let you get bored!

Students already in Thailand are welcome to phone me to discuss the details any time: 081.885.1429.

How I hope we'll all be together again very soon!

               with love,  Maw Hom

 REOPENINGS 2020 to 2021

Oct. 18th to 30th, 2020

80hr THAI MASSAGE COURSE  (Live-in: 12 study days + 1 day off = 27,400 baht. Non-live-in:  12 study days = 14,200 baht)

Topic: Thai Traditional Massage (Nuad Boran) and Rasidaton (Thai Yoga). This course concentrates on the classic two hour Thai Massage: legs, arms, side, prone and sitting positions. Because technique with fluency is the focus,  the stomach, face, and head are less the focus than the simple grace of touch and flow over the whole body, the latter being far more difficult to acquire than any of the technical parts.

Hardworking beginners can get started on the full Thai Massage 'set' in this course, while professionals can improve their technique, refine their touch, and learn how to look after both themselves and their clients even better -- a very slight adjustment to the therapists position, for example, can add years to his or her professional life.

This course is recommended for anyone who would like to go on to take the 150hr Special Therapeutic Massage Course in January 2021. It is the essential technical platform for less experienced practitioners, and is also an excellent warm-up and renewal  for Professionals. Ask Homprang if you would like advice on this.

LOI KRATONG in ISOLATION

This is one of the most beautiful of all the Thai annual festivals. An ancient New Year celebration, it involves creating beautiful offerings with banana leaves, flowers, candles, and incense and floating them away on the river. Each 'Kratong' is felt to  carry away with it all the misadventures and lesser moments of the previous year, giving us each the opportunity to start all over again, fresh and clean.

In ordinary years there are parades and fireworks, beauty contests, dancing, games, fun, music and delicious food everywhere.  This year will be quieter, needless to say, but we will do it all here together at Baan Hom Samunphrai, including making the personal Kratongs and sailing them away on the river which runs right near us.

Nov. 3rd to 12th, 2020

60hr WOMBLIFTING, POSTPARTUM CARE & RELATED HERBAL THERAPIES  (Live-in: 9 study days + 1 day off = 20,900 baht. Non-live-in:  9 study days = 14,400 baht

One of Homprang's most intense courses, students must be prepared to concentrate every minute during the hours in class and then practice, practice, practice. Includes both intricate acupressure work and abdominal manipulation as well as herbal compresses, traditional steam treatments, postpartum care for mother and baby, and herbal preparations as they are needed.

This course is often taken more than once by students who would actually like to practice Womblifting professionally as a single course is rarely enough. The course is also of great interest to professional midwives and doulas from all over the world -- working together in a class with such a diversity of students is a privilege indeed!

An added perk is that the ancient Loi Kratong Festival will be held on November 1st this year, and everybody will get to make their own banana-leaf floats to float away  their sins on the river with flowers, candles, and incense.

Nov. 16th

A 60hr HERBAL WORKSHOP including 'FOOD AS MEDICINE' (Live-in: 9 study days + 1 day off = 20,900 baht. Non-live-in:  9 study days = 14,400 baht

You can click on the title of the course for more information on Homprang's herbal work in general and can also have a look at the section of Related Photos on the Homepage. In addition there is  a Sample Program from a workshop Homprang gave two years ago-- it was  written in collaboration with her Bhutanese intern, Jamtsho Sonam, who has a strong background in Plant Medicine.

Students must remember that  Homprang is a traditional  doctor, mid-wife & herbalist, and has no academic background to distract her. That is why no two classes of hers are ever the same, and why her work is always so fresh and relevant. That is also why so many of her students sign up for some of her courses two or even three times!

The exact content of  the course will be determined  not by a formal syllabus but by the season, the climate, social as well as natural, and above all by the interests of the specific group. So if you have special interests, please do let Homprang know what they are.

Each day will begin with a session of Rasidaton (Thai Yoga) at 7am followed by herbal work, study,  talk, and visits here and there in Chiang Mai from 9am to 4pm. There is then a herbal steam bath at 6pm followed by a delicious Thai meal at 7pm -- and if you are very lucky Homprang will be there to talk you through it!

150hr THAI MASSAGE COURSE   (Live-in:  22 study days + 3 days off = 51,700 baht. Non-live-in: 22 study days = 35,200 baht.)

At the beginning this course concentrates on the fundamental parts of the Thai Traditional Massage, the legs, arms and trunk along with the different positions.  The second half of the course introduces the energy points and sen lines, and moves on to the shoulders, head and abdomen.  There is a written as well as a practical exam at the end.

Although this is an advanced course, it is suitable for beginners as well as professional students. Homprang is assisted by her much loved sister-in-law, Ajarn Bang, as well as by a professional Intern, so everybody gets the practical attention they need at their own level. A very intense course, there is a great deal to master  at all levels, and everybody is encouraged to practice out of class in the evenings and on days-off. And Baan Hom Samunphrai is always a hive of activity when the students are preparing for the exams at the last days of the course.

Finally, this course is an essential preparation for the 150hr Special Therapeutic Course to follow in January 2021. The 80hr Massage  + 150hr Massage + 150hr Therapeutic Massage is a complete series, and perfect for a 4 month stay with the Womblifting and the Herbal Workshop in between.

 2021 PROVISIONAL CALENDAR

Jan. 4th to 28th, 2021

150hr SPECIAL THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE COURSE (Live-in:  22 study days + 3 days off = 51,700 baht. Non-live-in: 22 study days = 35,200 baht.)

The Special Therapeutic Course introduces cutting-edge acupressure techniques that are used to treat serious conditions including migraine, numbness, stroke damage, intractable back conditions, and many other ailments not usually addressed by Thai Massage. A background in Thai Massage is very helpful but not essential. Indeed, the course is  open to any Professional Therapist with a strong background in energy work like Shiatsu, for example. Indeed, the most important qualification is substantial, hands-on experience of working with serious conditions over a number of years, and a desire to go further in alleviating the suffering of those who carry them.

If you are still not sure if this course is appropriate for you, please do e-mail us with your questions, and of course tell us a bit about yourself and your professional background so that we can help you make the right decision.

The treatments in this course are evolving all the time, and many advanced students and professional therapists choose to take it more than once. The exchange with such students is also extremely important to Homprang, as she regards the class as a Lab as much as a Training Ground.

Hardworking beginners can learn the full Thai Massage 'set' in this course, while professionals can reassess their technique, refine their touch, and learn how to look after both themselves and their clients even better -- a very slight adjustment to the therapists position, for example, can add years to his or her professional life as well as deepen the effectiveness of all their body work.

Rasidaton (Thai Yoga) is included in all of Homprang's courses, but it's particularly important in this one.  One hour everyday at 7am.
