PATTAYA must be the top of the list for suspicious deaths so sad to read the pattaya mail.. too many farangs die in pattaya!! but i do understand some cases.. Old age,drugs,no money..etc

I'm struggling to make sense of the original post, which seems to have been co-authored by Mr. Chang...

But perhaps I can summarize it as "Farangs practicing Buddhism, even becoming monks are weird and awkward."

Interesting point of view. Also awkward, as if Farangs as a group would inherently be less inclined to practice Buddhism, but still interesting.

I lived in a temple for a while, though didn't actually get ordained in any way. Still I learned enough doing that to understand why people do it; it's the absolute perfect break of all the entrapments of regular life. It's liberating in a sense, as you leave any thoughts about a career, money, women, booze, food-as-a-hobby, fashion, gadgetry and so on at the door.

Note that you don't need to do this forever, but even doing it for any amount of time can be quite liberating.

ADDITION: I will now await posts slamming Thais, Thai temples and monks because not all monks and all temples follow Buddhism as close as some would like, along with some stories of monks misbehaving, etc. Overall though I think you can pick a temple that are a good fit for what you're looking for. Some forest temples for example.

Well spoken...

If your on your travels to UDON THANI go to soi farang- the day/night street and try the new Fish&Chip shop! Honest they have got the best fish and chips in thailand, Great batter and they do a great sausage in batter mmmmmm Great after a night on the turps....
