to the OP, for Christs ‘sake it’s an excuse and a reason to get money, ok hope not. No. I’m just thinking who pays the hospital. hehehe!

I have migraine myself and I’m not Thai. I even get my head banged on the wall due to the intense pain but goodness gracious getting myself hospitalized is out of the context! (ok, the banging is an exagerration just wana highlight the pain) For years I took Exceedrin until I finally gave up as the pain gets intense. I’m now taking ASPIRIN or TYLENOL when my migraine attacks.

Migraine has several causes, could be too much sunlight, diet (some food, cheese..etc) and even PMS.

I suggest you may better read on the causes as I heard taking “diet pills” and many other beauty enhancing medicines” could also contribute migraines.

On the other hand, we can’t confirm if one is having it and I disagree that CULTURE has something to do with headache , if you can check other articles here, especially the COMMON SENSE thing bet, you can sense what I mean.

@Hannah: Here we go again. Another farang woman who comes on and her first few comments try to present herself as a very reasonable person. With each additional comment more and more of her racism starts to appear. You’re not going to be another Trudy are you?

@mando: My thoughts exactly. Also the OP says specifically that it’s not just Bangkok girls. Why would some girl in Koh Samui be getting environmentally caused headaches?

If the headaches are environmentally caused, I would think some farangs living in BKK would also have them?

I know a couple of well off thai men who told me they meditated once or twice in their lives where they went to a special temple and spent three days meditating. One of them told me the first day was the most difficult, and some of his friends left the temple. He said it was very enlightining to him…I am not sure if this is th kind of meditation that you are asking about thu..

@DM

Nice expansion with regard to the Thai side. Very much as I have been able to learn/understand about the situation.

Well there is a lot of pollution in Bangkok. It is also a contributing factor to why Thai students have such a low IQ (only 88 average), I’m sure.

That said, Thai girls have the emotional maturity of the average farang 14 year old up until the age of about 40 at least. They are pretty much exploding with bullshit too as to why they can’t do something or a reason to feel sorry for them. I just ignore it and reward the non-whinny liars.

Good answer for the meditation question, but I’ll expand on it a little.

According to Buddhism, meditation is the practice by which an individual can achieve “enlightenment”. It is not a “duty” like praying is for Christians and Moslems, rather it is a form of self-develpment that will ultimately lead to liberation. However, most Thai lay Buddhists do not beleive that they will acheive enlightenement in their current lifetime, because it is a difficult path requiring a lifetime of devotion. Therefore, Thai lay Buddhists “make merit” (donate food to monks, give charity, etc) so that they will accumulate good karma and be reborn in a higher state. Maybe in some future life, it is beleived, they will become a monk and devote themselves to meditation.
