Re: Question collecting money
Hi, if you can get to the place you're thinking of ordaining they would normally be able to look after your needs, so hopefully your place isn't to far away, maybe consider doing a Tudong, would be all the better!

Re: Chao Phra Khun (Ajahn) Keng Khemako from Singapore
He's actually spending the Vassa in Geelong this year if it's of interest to anyone, he mentioned there's a Wat there with flooding problems or sth.
