To Falcon About Your Friend

[farseer]

For Falcon,

I cannot seem to send any messages, so I am posting the reply on the forum.

Hi Farseer,

Thanks for the advice from the thread re the temples. I wouldnt have thought of this as he isnt Thai/Buddhist but I will try to take him down there tomorow. Where would you suggest? I dont know Bangkok very well as far as which temples to go to as we have only just moved up here after living in Jomtien for the past 14 years.

Thanks again and best wishes,

Andrew

I can't really recommend any temples as there are so many to chose from,so you will have to check out a few but avoid the tourist ones. Also, there is no problem about him not being a Buddhist, the monks are there to help anyone in need.

The immigration holding cells are absolutely disgusting and as I said before, the food is a disgrace, you have to have money in order to buy water and food, otherwise it is quite difficult to survive, and the embassies don't do anything. So, it is much better to be free, because all sorts of possibilities are then open to him to get some money together. There are some missionaries somewhere in Bangkok that will help people with tickets but the waiting list is about a year or two but I think they will give him money for "needs" if he can find them.

Also, as long as he doesn't do anything "strange" the police will never bother him, ever.

I am sure that Falcon will appreciate your advice. However the thread was closed as it was getting out of hand.

Please PM him if you want to .
