Thank you!!! That is great information! I am learning how much Thai Medicine is like this great big room with all these doors and as you start to open one door you find some answers, but you also find a room with more doors. It has really been such…

Hi Lori, The single most interesting and readily readable article on this, in my opinion, is BJ Terwiel's article: Terwiel, B.J. “A Model for the Study of Thai Buddhism.” Journal of Asian Studies 35, no. 3 (1976): 391-403. For a long time before…

Hi again. As for the clothing, unless told otherwise, I'd wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts. Everything white. Wear your hair very plainly (no braids, bows, clips, headbands, etc.), and no jewelry (one of the 8 precepts anyway). If you've done…

Thank you so much for all the info! Not only is all of the information helpful on how to prepare, it also speaks to me as a checklist of IF you are ready to visit. If I can just ask a few other things- 1. What time of year did you stay at the forres…

Hi Lori, This is indeed a wonderful opportunity, and a rare one at that, so it is good that you are thinking about the best way of preparing. There are several things I would advise: 1. Take 8 precepts: When you say precepts, I'm not sure if you m…
