I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your time. Hope you go back soon. And a big Sabai Dee Pii Mai to you. Sabai Dee Lek,

It’s just because Bangkok is such a big modern city. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed your time. Hope you go back soon.

I hope you view on the tak bat will be taken to heart by the tourists , who will read your blog. Like you said . giving alms has a personal significance , it is more appropiate to watch from a distance . The processions of the Monks is beautiful to watch , but over the years the presence of tourists is very disruptive to this peaceful custom. People , who want to take pictures , should take them from a distance and with respect. My first visit to Luang Prabang was in 2000 and to this time it was still a very spiritual place . In the morning the Monks went along the road by the Mekong river , which to this time was still a dirt road and it was a wonderful ritual to watch with the morning mist rising from the Mekong. This part of the route is now gone for ever. On my first visit with my husband we met a little Novice from Vat Nong , he spoke a little english ( we are from England ) and so we kept in touch. We visited the next year and the year after I went with him to a visit to his parents . They are Khmu and live in a very remote village in Udomxai province. I was very shocked by the poverty there and this gave me the intention to help this little Novice , to give him the education he wished for. Since 2004 he studies at the Lao-American College in Vientiane , with us as his sponsors and he became like a son to us. This year he left the temple . I am travelling every year to Lao to visit him , we are meeting up in Luang Prabang and after some days driving to his village. In October it will be my 8. visit in L.P. and it became like a second home to me. Now you see, why I love this country so very much . I like Thailand very much too , Bangkok for the shopping . It is always a stopover for some days before travelling to Lao. We visited the area around Chiang Rai and went with boat to L.P. I like the north of your country very much and we travelled there around Chiang Mai a lot . In October we will spend some days there too. Keep up your beautiful website and I will visit it again. Have a wonderful time travelling with your boyfriend. Gisela Dear Lek,
