No more ordination for foreigners in southern Thailand?
Re: No more ordination for foreigners in Thailand
I think it would be a good idea to change the subject title to something else to avoid confusion and so that people know this was isolated to only certain area and was temporary as in the rest of the country ordinations are taking place as normal
Re: No more ordination for foreigners in Thailand
Nothing atm. I think it is better for someone on this forum to ask Nanachat monks (if somebody got contacts).Could you get more details? This is sad news.
This is not yet confirmed. And maybe ordinations are banned in all areas.so that people know this was isolated to only certain area and was temporary as in the rest of the country ordinations are taking place as normal

I think it is important that false information is not spread such as this as it can cause alarm. It would be better if the thread topic was changed accordingly.

Central. But in recent weeks have travelled across the north and north east. My friend also informed me a few days ago that at Wat Pah Nanachat, the most well known multinational monestary, they holding their twice yearly ordinations imminently and that the pakow/anagarikas are preparing for it and that it will be held in the next few days/weeksamseva wrote:In what part of of Thailand are you at?Italy230 wrote:Yes, I am referring to the ordination of foreigners in my post.samseva wrote:

Re: No more ordination for foreigners in southern Thailand?
Here is a private message I received from Dhammanando:
Where I'm living, in the north, nobody I've met has heard anything about it — not even at a meeting 2 days ago of three dozen abbots of monasteries in Phrao District. If there is any truth to the story it must be merely local.
Re: No more ordination for foreigners in southern Thailand?
Today I've got a message from still another monk from there, he said it was a misinformation. Since that is the case, I suggest the whole topic should be deleted.
