buddha Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Someone made a joke about this in the relationships thread: Shave your head and go pray in a Temple for 6 months. Maybe it wasn't a joke; however, does anyone know of a temple where a falang can go and do six months? A real thai temple not some pay 4 redemption stuff. Where are they? has anyone from this board done this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khwaimaisabai Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Hi buddha, This can be done - I know someone who did it. He went to what is known as a "forest" wat in Ubon province. there are a few in that area, way out in the countryside - away from it all.

Zaad Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Not soon Limbo, just a plan... perhaps before the little one goes to school. We need to think a few things through! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddha Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I wonder what the costs are for the falang? 6 months in a temple would require some special visa, does one exist? Imagine getting the 'special visa' and then buggering off to pattaya for your therapy... would you be in a group of falangs or with thais? anyone have any links?

chuckwoww Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I managed six days once. In a monastery near Taton. It was 'free' but the monks kept bugging me to give them English lessons. They wanted to go to the US and teach Buddhism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
