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

Hi Retro,
Are you catching up with Ven Appichatto, Ven Dhammanando or any other Dhamma Wheelers while you're in Thailand?
kind regards,
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.Ben wrote:Are you catching up with Ven Appichatto, Ven Dhammanando or any other Dhamma Wheelers while you're in Thailand?

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

OK, since we have now gone onto this track, you should also be aware of this.

Re: Buddhism in Phuket
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!alan wrote:Hi Retro.
