This time next week I'll be in the sky, somewhere over Asia.
Not there yet (even if part of my mind is!)

If you have asked me of the origination of unease, then I shall explain it to you in accordance with my understanding:
Whatever various forms of unease there are in the world, They originate founded in encumbering accumulation. (Pārāyanavagga)
'We should not congratulate someone on the success of their misdeeds, but on the contrary should endeavour to advise him or her to lead a more skilful and wholesome life. If such advice is ignored then we can only give up and let go' - Phra Panyapatipo

In case u see an Ajahn Chah amulet...get me one 
Bhikkhus, if you develop and make much this one thing,
it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.
What is it? It is recollecting the Enlightened One.
If this single thing is recollected and made much,
it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.

Hi Retro,
Are you catching up with Ven Appichatto, Ven Dhammanando or any other Dhamma Wheelers while you're in Thailand?

Greetings Ben,
Ven. Dhammanando is in retreat, and I am hoping to see Ven Appicchato but it depends on logistics. Unfortunately, Phuket is a fair way south.
Metta,
Retro.

Hi Retro.
I was on Phuket last month and hated it. If you are looking for a family vacation, I'd go somewhere else.

Too late now!
If nothing else, I'll enjoy the heat and time away from work.

Hi Retro,
You've probably heard on the news: http://www.theage.com.au/world/australi ... 20p5f.html
In the words of John Howard: "be alert, but not alarmed"
kind regards,
Ben

Bring a good pair of earplugs. You'll need them for the general street noise, and to help cut out the inevitable, incessant, infernal Bob Marley. His brain-dead jingles are unavoidable.

I've been to some nice parts, though I wouldn't recommend it either. Hope retro is lucky with his hotel!
