Why not use this one? Anything you need to be answered about the UK. We can do it here. Maybe a TROLL? What do ya think Jai Dee? You can spot them.

khunlungphudhu Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Wat Buddhapadipa, Calonne Road, Wimbledon, SW19.. Will be more than enough Thais there for Songkran. Temple has it's own website, but it needs updating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abandon Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 (edited) Here are Thai temples, but with Western monks, a good alternative. I met a lot of people who did not like the Wat in Wimbledon. Oh well.., you can please some of the people all the time, or all the people some of the time... but you can't... http://www.fsnewsletter.net/addresses.html Here's a new one that is making a good effort http://www.geocities.com/dimcuk2003/ from the bbc http://www.buddhacommunity.org/UK%20groups.htm This link is to a good set of temples in uk, where the abbot does all nesletters/announcements etc in Thai and English, and also runs some courses in Thai language if you are interested. I met the abbot and he is a good sort, and is the only one I ever heard of who makes a genuine effort to bridge the Thai and English cultures. http://www.thailand-uk.com/buddhism.html Otherwise head to the nearest Thai restaurant, and chat to them there...
