Go to see the WAT PAKOW
The Royal Tempel. Staying in a Tempel and praying and walking each early morning with the budhist monks to collect food for the only meal the monks are allowed to have in a day the PINNAPATHA. This is a old sanscrit word meaning. Collecting food donations.
I use to go behind the monks and collect food parcles in a sack to take to te tample.
In Thailand every male person must atleast for three months become a monk by law.
Even the Royals have been monks some time in thier life.
It's a great training, I would recommend any one planning a stressful job to train in this meditation and mind focusing excercise. It will certainly help to clam any one down.
Enjoy your visit to Thailand and have a great time.
See it and get out. Thailand...
by sketchyhand
See it and get out. Thailand is a large diverse country, get off the beaten path! The students at Silpakorn University were the greatest ambassadors i've ever experienced. Great friends and the perfect way to learn about a country and culture. If you have the oppurtunity, you must befriend a thai person, they will make a great friend for life.
Dress code in Bangkok
by expatbangkok
Been here 12 years and wear shorts everyday. So do 90% of my mates. Pants, shirt, tie and occasionally a suit to work, but then who is stupid enough to but on jeans in 40 degree heat with 60% humidity? Not the Thais, thats for sure. Looking out of my windown now I can see dozens of Thais wearing shorts.
Asians/expats don't wear shorts? Horse hockey!
Joo's open arm of Thai culture...
by l_joo
Joo's open arm of Thai culture in this photo with Sing. The culture here is generally Buddhism influenced by Hindus long long ago, they belong to the Theravada not the Chinese Mahayana. Expect to see many Temples (Wat). Thai peoples especially those in the business of travel are big liars. Everytime you ask them for a ticket, they will tell you this is the peak season, if you don't buy the ticket now you will never get it anymore or the price will go up after today.
