The next day 15 August 2008

My buddies Ricky, Philip and me after a hearty breakfast in the hotel. Although this hotel is not in the main cities like Bangkok, its breakfast buffet was better than a similar four-star hotel breakfast in BKK. Charoensri Hotel breakfast was really good :)
This was the first forest monk's temple we visited.
This temple belongs to one of the disciples of the great late Ajahn Mun. A doctor donated a real skeleton to remind the followers of the impermanence of life.
The temple hall.
The serenity of the temple's surroundings.

Me feeding the fishes as my other buddies went up to the temple which was not wheelchair accessible. This is outside Ajahn Fon's wat, one of AC Mun's disciples.
The view ouside the pond.
The great tudong master late Ajahn Mun's museum.

Personal artefacts of AC Mun when he meditated and wandered in the wild forests of Udon Thani.
Noticed the parasol which was the protection he had to shelter him from rain and sun when he meditated in the forests.

A path built for walking meditation in the forest.
A friendly monk at Wat Pa Yong who was also our translator when we visited the abbot there.

Thanks for viewing. Please come back again to visit my blog as I will be constantly adding new photos on the Udon Thani trip.
