I'm in Kamala now, and things are pretty normal here. People walking around enjoying the beach and Songkran celebrations.

According to the BBC "State of Emergency" just declared in Bangkok.

This will help keep the airports open with lessons learned from the last closure.

Hi Danny-

If it's ok, I'm going to mention the retreat center I am associated with, Karuna Meditation Center in Kamala, Phuket.

The main practice and teachings are from the satipatthana and anapanasati suttas. All teachings are in English by western teachers who are or have been monks or nuns at some point. Personally, I have found the practice very effective and wonderful.

We established the center to allow westerners wanting to do long-term retreat to be able to afford to do so in as western retreat centers can be very expensive because of costs of living, etc. Students can come for any length of time they wish.

You can e-mail our retreat manager for more information or go to our webiste: meditate-thailand.com

With Metta,

Chris
