Ajarn Toh (Herman), is a doctor of Chinese Medicine however his
ethics and that of his wife are non-existent. He is greedy and a
sociopath, a very deceptive man who knows how to manipulate his clients however if you observe
carefully you can see that he is actually a man only interested in
money. He seeks out certain types of people and personalities that he
knows will be susceptible to what he has to sell.
Several
women including myself have been sexually harassed by him in the past
but he was able to bribe his way out of the situation and it seems that
he is a lot more careful now. Others in the group witnessed this but
chose to either pretend it did not happen or they also left the group.
He
said to one female student that she needed her "root chakra" and "ming
men" activated and that he could only do this for her through sexual
intercourse. She left. She said, "this was disgusting enough but I
felt just as betrayed that other students who knew of this pretended
that it didn't happen. I was not the first. Everyone wanted to play
along that he was some sort of master but masters don't act so
immorally. Another man and woman did leave with me though and were
very supportive. It's hard to leave a group like this when everyone is
in it together. After leaving the people who stay ostracize you from
the group and won't even talk to you. That's what feels like such a
betrayal, that I'd thought these people friends for several years and
they knew. They knew. From what I hear he is a lot more careful now.
His main interest is becoming rich and famous so he has to avoid any
scandal."
"In China he would be considered a below
average Chinese Medicine Doctor however here in Chiang Mai he can get
away with calling himself a high level doctor. He is actually quite
low level. He would not even be considered a qigong teacher in China
let alone a master. He is far from a master and does not understand
even the fundamentals of real qigong. I will admit that he has a
rudimentary level of Chinese Medicine and acupuncture howeverI cannot
recommend him at all because of his lack of ethics alone. He is all
about money and expanding his group to make more money for himself.
This should be clear to anyone who observes him objectively. His
actions speak louder than words. Most real Chinese doctors and Qigong
masters just avoid him completely."
"There are other
teachers in Chiang Mai and indeed the world who are both far better in
skill and who have good ethics. If you meet this man keep away from
him. You will be better for it."
If you need decent Chinese Medicine go to any other place in Chiang Mai except for him:
Some examples are:
Mungkala
Rajavej Clinic
McCormick Hospital
Dr. Sheng Zhong Wang at Wororat Market Herbal Shop
For
qigong there are a few authentic and skilled teachers in Chiang Mai but
they do not advertise. You will need to find them through word of
mouth as I have been asked to keep their details private.
As
you can see I am not affiliated with any clinics or teachers. I simply
wish to caution others against scams and fraudsters in Chiang Mai.
